The chance of finding a music video is very high on Youtube. It does not truly matter if you are looking for the latest Billboard charts videos or videos from the Seventies, they are all available on Youtube. One thing that is missing though are lyrics for those music videos. While some uploaders add the lyrics in the description most do not add them.
Youtube Lyrics changes that. It’s a Greasemonkey script that adds a lyric element to each Youtube video. A container Lyrics will be displayed beneath the Video description and will show the lyrics of that music video if expanded. The title of the video should at least contain the song title of the song.
A drop down menu provides access to different lyrics databases on the Internet and you can try to find the lyrics in the other databases if the default one does not reveal any results.

Internet users from outside the United States are officially excluded from using Pandora to create their own radio stations with songs similar to the ones they have entered at the creation of the music station. Aggrega will surely profit from Pandora’s move although it does not offer the same service. By signing up with Aggrega you can create so called custom channels which are created automatically after assigning a name and a group, artist or genre to them. All videos seem to be taken from Youtube as of now which should not be a problem because I think they are added manually to the database.
I would not be able to explain otherwise why some bands are not found although their music videos are available at Youtube. After creating a channel you have the option to create another one or view the already created channels. If you choose the second option you see your channels on the left side and videos that have been found at Youtube on the right one.

Now that is what I call a niche search engine. Youtube is big, sometimes to big to find what you are looking for. Peter created a simple interface to search over 150000 music videos that are currently hosted on Youtube. The videos are embedded in the page as well which makes it probably the fastest method to search for music videos on Youtube. I’m not exactly sure how he managed to get all those videos in this database or if he used a script to do it, lots of work nevertheless.
The interface makes it possible to either play one of the videos that are currently listed on the frontpage, search for a band or song or use the random button to generate a listing of random clips pulled from the database. If you do search for a band or song you should make sure that you use phrases to match the songs. If I wanted to find Fear of the Dark from Iron Maiden I would enter the title and not only fear in the search field.
