kaly — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 02:30:56 +0000

Here is another cool YouTube app that does one simple thing: It lets you watch any YouTube clip over and over again without hitting the play button. Basically, if you stumble upon a video (maybe a music video) you really like and feel like watching over and over, copy the video URL onto the provided field on TubeReplay and click the “Replay” button.

If you do not feel like copying URLs manually then you may try alternative Firefox add-on. This add-on adds an auto replay checkbox to YouTube page along with additional options to specify the exact part of the video you want replayed. Pretty cool.

Mp32Tube: Upload MP3 To YouTube

kaly — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 23:48:58 +0000

If you ever tried uploading MP3 to YouTube you would know that YouTube does not support this feature. Until now the only way to upload the MP3 to Youtube was to convert it into a video file first and upload it as a video file.

Now you can avoid doing this and use Mp32Tube instead. Using this online application anyone can easily upload MP3’s to Youtube.com without converting anything. Go to Mp32Tube and select an MP3 file and the image that you want to use as a thumbnail on YouTube. Next choose whether you want it to be uploaded to your YouTube account or MP32Tube’s account. And then click on the “upload” button and wait for the URL. It mat take a few minutes before the file becomes accessible and playable online.

The site does look kinda ugly but is certainly dose what it says. Currently Mp32Tube is completely free to use. However, premium accounts with more features (multiple image and file upload, no waiting times, faster speed) are likely to be introduced in the future.
