"Demiba finds automatically the best quality versions for each song"

sorry but on multiple tests i'm getting obscure solo-guitar covers of songs and sometimes shoddy quality live performances. just because something is in 720p doesnt mean its good quality!

example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=S...!

thats probably not the best white of the clash - white riot on youtube

Our algorithm attempts to filter out things like covers and live performances, but admittedly it's not perfect. It works pretty well but there's definitely room for improvement. We're constantly improving this aspect because of how crucial it is to the product.

Thanks for that example, it'll help me tweak the algorithm to fix that occurrence. Thanks for the feedback!
