Why Use This Search & Playlist Tool
- Quick song lookup: search YouTube directly without leaving this page.
- Build a running playlist: add multiple search results into one saved queue.
- Auto-advance: once one track ends, the next one in your playlist starts automatically.
- Private by design: your playlist and API key are saved only in your own browser, never on a server.
How to Use It
Step 1: Get your own free API key
Click "Get a free key here" above, enable the YouTube Data API v3 in your Google Cloud project, and generate an API key. It's free and takes about two minutes.
Step 2: Search and build your playlist
Paste your key once, search for a song or artist, then use "➕ Add" to build a playlist from the results. Use "▶ Play" to play any track immediately.
Step 3: Play through your queue
Click "▶ Play All" to start from the top of your playlist — each track automatically advances to the next when it finishes.
An Important Note on How This Tool Works
This tool plays YouTube content through a hidden, zero-size player rather than showing YouTube's visible video player. It's worth knowing that YouTube's API Services Terms of Service specifically restrict using the API to create an audio-only listening experience without displaying the video — and a number of similar "YouTube as a music player" tools have been discontinued over the years, reportedly for reasons related to this kind of use. This isn't a guarantee of any particular outcome for this tool, but it's a real consideration worth being aware of if you're relying on it for ongoing use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need my own API key?
The tool has no shared or built-in key, so search requests only work once you paste your own free key. This also means your search quota is entirely your own and isn't affected by other visitors.
Is my playlist saved anywhere other than my own browser?
No. Both your API key and your playlist are stored only in your browser's local storage — nothing is sent to or saved on a server.
Why can't I see the YouTube video while a song plays?
The player is intentionally hidden to act as an audio-only listening experience. See the note above on why this is worth being aware of.
Will my playlist still be there if I come back later?
Yes, as long as you're using the same browser on the same device — it's saved in that browser's local storage until you clear it or remove tracks manually.
Why did my search return an API error?
This usually means the key is invalid, YouTube Data API v3 hasn't been enabled on your Google Cloud project, or you've used up your free daily quota for the day.
