http://Sweetsoundtrack.com - I often hear music I like in movies and want to add them to my personal collection. This website allows users to look up a movie, and quickly find information about the songs and artists featured in the soundtrack. I started to make a little revenue - enough to cover my hosting costs. I'd love to hear any feedback.

I often search for songs (in google) by some of their lyrics. Maybe you can add that ability.

Also searching for a movie based on actor would help.

When I searched for Scarface, I got 3 hits. Mousing-over I was able to see the year of movie, but maybe a picture next to the hits would help.

Looking at the list: http://sweetsoundtrack.com/Movies/scarface-1983 Maybe you could add a link to lyrics?

And finally, it might be good to have a little song-preview next to each song, so that if user isn't sure by the name, they can listen to a part of it. (not sure if there are legal issues with this)

Thank you for the feedback anywherenotes. Adding the lyrics is a great idea if I can find a public API. I planned to do a song preview using Itunes/Amazon clips on the Movie page but I was having some performance issues. Currently, you can get to #rd party previews via individual "song pages" though I realize this is less convenient.
