Que It Up Project
Ok I am new to Freelance, I am looking for someone I can work with as I develop my thoughts, piece by piece. This is the first piece of a number to come.
First, I want to see if I can better describe exactly what I am looking for.
This is a personal project. I am a big fan of music. Today I just don’t have what I want in the services that are out there today. I know it sounds strange given You Tube, YouTube Music, Spotify, Apple Music and a dozen others music services and having access to millions of songs and that is not enough for me. The thing is I want to be able choose my own music and that will initially start from an excel spreadsheet.
Now before you point out the obvious, I am well aware that YouTube currently allows you to que. I want to choose my song from an excel spreadsheet. That might move to a web page at some point but for now excel is a starting place. I do not want to spend too much on this at this time as is it is simply a concept that will allow me to gather my thoughts and refine the projects in future work. Looking for someone that I can work with going forward.
I will have an excel spreadsheet and It will contain over 8000 songs. The order is really not important nor is the number of attributes of the song yet. What is important is that the songs that I have compiled are for me.
Excel spreadsheet contains:
Year of songs release – Artist - Song Title (like I said there is a ton more attributes but for this part of the project It does not matter). As an example, I am going to pull a few songs from the billboard Hot 100 for year 2023 just for illustration purposes.
1 "Last Night"
Morgan Wallen
2 "Flowers"
Miley Cyrus
3 "Kill Bill"
SZA
4 "Anti-Hero"
Taylor Swift
5 "Creepin'"
Metro Boomin, the Weeknd and 21 Savage
6 "Calm Down"
Rema and Selena Gomez
7 "Die for You"
The Weeknd and Ariana Grande
8 "Fast Car"
Luke Combs
9 "Snooze"
SZA
10 "I'm Good (Blue)"
David Guetta and Bebe Rexha
There will be imbedded links under the song title, directing the user to YouTube and the official video under the artist’s name. The reason this is important to me is right now YouTube is the wild west and anyone can copy artists music and claim it under their own YouTube channel name. It is important to me that the YouTube played are the ones posted by the original artist. This is not me trying to get revenue for me from watch YouTube videos.
Ok now comes the YouTube portion. There is an extension that sort of does what I am looking for it is called YouTube Que, here is a picture of what it currently looks like
It allows you to type in songs that I would like to que up. The GUI is not very pretty but it forms the basis of what I want. I have my own mock up which I can share if interested. Currently I have to key songs into the You Tube Que extension rather than triggering my song list from an excel worksheet. The other problem with it is that I have no idea what is going to come up as I have to choose from the presented list given to me. I am assuming it is the first 3 or 4 songs that come up on the YouTube search. From that list I have no idea if I am getting the artist channel or somebody else’s. Doing it from an excel spreadsheet I know exactly the song and channel that is going to play as it is my link to the song.
Now the first click on the spreadsheet song will open YouTube and start playing that song.
The second song chosen will initiate the que. It would show the song playing and the first song in the que. I want to be able to select as many songs as I want to que up. Now the extension needs to look better than the one currently. I have a mock up below. Now what would pop us is the extension in YouTube that would have all of the songs I selected from my spreadsheet. It must also have a search function that would allow a person to type in a song not on my spreadsheet and choose that song. It would just go to the bottom of the que.
Now the que would look something like this. Can be provided . Can't post images here.
This is a sample que look. The songs in the que has to be able to be deleted with a single click or can be rearranged up or down in the que by dragging and dropping just as can be done in the current extension YouTube Que.
