A 15-year-old has created a free-music service by harnessing YouTube's vast library of music videos.
Muziic, created by teen developer David Nelson, has built an iTunes-like interface on top of YouTube. The service enables users to stream YouTube's music to their PCs without fiddling with videos. Users can build playlists and organize songs in a way similar to iTunes.
CNET blogger Matt Rosoff first wrote about the service and gave it a favorable review. "Any song that's been uploaded to YouTube is available in Muziic," Rosoff wrote.
