"A while ago I laid down a theory that a significant number of users are using YouTube to share data that isn't videos. Most often, it's music, and therefore there are a lot of videos on YouTube that consist of a music track and some images slapped together just to make them videos. In a way, it's untapped potential, because YouTube isn't doing much to make it easier for users to share music that doesn't necessarily have an (official) video attached to it. \nEnter StreamDrag, a simple music search engine that draws its collection from YouTube's massive database, although it's not really transparent - or important - to the end user, who doesn't see the video at all, he just listens to the song. Titles of songs such as \"Tool - Sober (HQ Fullscreen)\" can be a bit misleading, but it's a minor point as long as you're in it just to hear the music. \nA nice option is the playlist; stack a bunch of tracks together and you've got yourself a party. This can be done in YouTube and other third party tools, but it's extremely simple in StreamDrag; click on the \"+\" icon next to the song and it's added to the playlist (to return to the search results, just click on \"playlist\" again). Everything else on the site is very straightforward: you've got play/pause, stop, rwd and ffwd buttons, as well as a repeat and sound on/off switches. I like it: by removing everything else and focusing on the music, StreamDrag is actually much more enjoyable (and faster) to use than many other similar services (including YouTube itself). \n\n\nStreamDrag is a direct competitor to services such as Songza. The developer behind StreamDrag, David Lorenz, claims that the simplicity of his application is the key difference here, as well as some features that enhance the user experience such as looping a single track. I'm not convinced that this is enough to beat the competition, but I do admit that using StreamDrag could not be simpler, which is always a good thing."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
