This is a cool concept especially for anyone that enjoys music videos.

What was the toughest design/implementation issue you had to overcome for this project?

Nice Job!

Thanks for checking it out.

The app wasn't too difficult to implement since Youtube and Spotify have decent APIs I can use. However, I would like to get better accuracy on the music videos to exclude things such as song covers, lyric videos, etc... Still working on improving that part.

I suppose I could use something like imvdb.com, but I would still like to fallback to a song if the video doesn't exist.

I was wondering how you went about selecting specific videos, and clicking through it found mostly the "Official" Vevo releases and such.

Just sharing a side-project I've been hacking on lately while playing with the Spotify API.

I like viewing music video playlists on Youtube, but I prefer the content curation of Spotify. So hence the idea to mesh them together.

It's also open-source: https://github.com/alfg/spotlistTV
