Using YouTube as an 'MP3 player', not a video player.

WARNING: Non (php) programming experience alert, I may not make sense! =p

Ok, this might seem like a waste of resources, but I always thought if there was some way of having an MP3 system that you didn't have to upload files to yourself in your forum would be great. These days everyone has broadband so who cares about the potential waste of streaming the whole file but just playing the music, not showing any video.

Features:

-Link on forum home, when clicked opens a new window - small, about 400x400.
-The searching and retrieving done dynamically uuuuhh using AJAX is it?
-Tracks could then be added to a playlist if the above was possible.


Potential Problems:

-Searching, like youTube will throw up anything and everything, but I suppose the person needs the cop on to search with some sense.
-Poor quality results, results would want to be retrieved/displayed by a combonation of view count, rating, and name match really.


I'm not sure how this will be recieved, some people could laugh, and it could even be a mod already =p
