Great site. I used to own audiolizer.com that did the same thing but with less features.
One thing that worked out really well for us was allowing users to import their itunes libraries/playlists. You just need to parse the iTunes XML and map them title/artists to YouTube videos and users would be able to import thousands of songs in seconds.
A few questions:
- How do you plan to make money?
- With YouTubes new song filtering, a lot of songs aren't the original pitch anymore- how do you deal with that?

- Have you considered using the Grooveshark API?
Good luck with the site!
