I made a website for discovering and listening to roots

[anke]

I just wanted to share a website I made with you guys: http://randomrootsreggae.profet.se. You just press a button to randomize different roots reggae songs which you listen to right in your browser. Some features include:

- 100+ (and counting) hand-picked roots reggae songs!

- Over six hours of listening pleasure!

- Pretty to look at on both desktop computers and mobile devices!

- If you use your desktop computer, the website automatically loads the next song – it's like your own personal reggae-playing butler!

I'd love to hear what you guys think so feel free to share your thoughts.

Nice work. Maybe you could open up the list to submissions? Though you'd want to add a CAPTCHA at the very least.

To geek out for a minute, I once made a Pandora-like interface for YouTube music by picking a random song from a search term, and then using the Suggested Videos feature to pick the next tracks. It was nice when it worked but the search terms were too hard to refine and sometimes the suggested videos would give weird irrelevant results. I wonder if it's possible to turn it into a purely client-side application, though I don't know if YouTube's API supports that.

Thanks so much for your feedback! I'm planning on adding the ability to post submissions soon, and I agree that a CAPTCHA or similar would be a sound defense mechanism.
