Then why not just a flat text file, one youtube link per line, each
line comma separated with
URL,artist,title
search with grep, once narrowed down to one item you can just
firefox "`grep <terms> textfile | cut -d ',' -f 1`"
or even make that a bash function if you'd like?
adding to the list is as simple as
echo "<url>,artist,title" >> textfile
a mixture of grep, cut, sort can even be used to make a full listing
of all entries.
Or do you have a more specific set of features that you'd like? (like,
for exampe, an actual user interface?)
Cheers,
