So IMHO Ivy is much better in that respect, thank you for the service.

But Playlistify is a better searcher; it finds 15 of these songs, if pasted like this song list (including sequence numbers etc) – but Ivy finds only 9:

Of course I do a bit of investigation before I devote my time to such a project and could not find a service that did the same as Ivy at that time. I suppose it’s a matter of ‘great minds think alike’. And when I saw a tweet about playlistify I hesitated to continue development. I decided to continue, because I saw room for improvement and wanted to complete my first in-house application, for the experience.

I still believe a little competition amongst this type of services is only a good thing. Just as there are a lot of Spotify ‘share your playlist’ webservices, for instance. Just to make this all fair, even Ivy and playlistify are not the only services out there that allow users to import their playlists to Spotify. Each do it in their own way though.

Graphically it looks very nice. It also seems a lot like a copy of http://Playlistify.org which I started developing 3 months ago. Maybe you are familiar with the service?

Playlistify.org is the tool for converting playlists originating from sources such as Itunes, Winamp, Free text copy+paste, Youtube, Last.fm to Spotify and online playing. First Playlistify offered Winamp + iTunes conversion for ‘a cent per track’, however since you released a competing service I also switched to a free model.

I read in your announcement that you are also going to support Last.fm and Youtube. These are exactly the two missing services which Playlistify.org already supports since it’s launch.

To me it seems like you have been inspired by Playlistify.org, but ofcourse I can be wrong.

Good luck with developing the service! Checkout http://playlistify.org once in a while for more inspiration
