Utubify - lets you watch music videos of your Spotify playlist.

How it works

Utubify is a service that lets you watch music videos of your Spotify playlist. Enjoy your playlist as it is or try it in different versions such as “Live”, “Acoustic” or “Karaoke”. If you’ve got published playlists in Spotify you can get instant access to those by using your Spotify user name.

Below are some “How-tos” using the Utubify service.

How to start watching your playlist

Paste a Spotify uri into the search field to watch the videos of a specific playlist. Or, type your Spotify user name and get instant access to all published playlists of your Spotify account.

If you want to put a twist to the results you might wanna try out the options by ticking any of the (check)boxes.

Hit the Utubify button and watch your playlist come to life!

How to copy a playlist

In Spotify, right-click on any playlist and copy the Spotify URI.

From any social media like Facebook, click on the playlist shared by your friend and copy the name of the playlist.

How to use the player

Inside the Utubify player you’ll have a “video playlist” tab on the right hand side. In the tab you’ll find the videos of the songs in your playlist. Just click on the video you want to watch and it starts playing. If you want to remove a video from the list, simply click the white X of the one you want to delete. To close the tab and reveal the whole video, click on the “video playlist” tab.

If you typed your Spotify user name in the Utubify search, you’ll get an extra tab showing all your published playlists. Just click the one you want to watch and it will start playing. Remember to publish your playlist in Spotify, otherwise it will not show up in Utubify.

Navigate your playlist by using the tab(s) or by clicking the on-screen arrows or using your keyboard left and right. By clicking the Utubify logo you’ll get back to the search page. If you’re using a big screen TV to watch your music videos, we highly recommend to use the fullscreen button in the bottom right corner of the screen.

If you run into problems or if you’re missing a feature when using Utubify , please let us know here or comment on our Facebook page.

Passing Cloud -Tiago Barros

This project envisions a distinct approach towards moving around the United States being also a revival of the act of traveling. Why traveling at high speed? Why having the final destiny always defined? And why always departing and arriving on a tight schedule? Nowadays, everything is set and everyone is always running around. It is time to reconsider the act of traveling and start enjoying it accordingly.

The Passing Cloud is an innovative and environmentally friendly method of transportation that doesn’t require expensive steel tracks or concrete highways. It is made of a series of spherical balloons that form the shape of a cloud. Its inner stainless steel structure is covered with heavy weight tensile nylon fabric. During the journey, It moves according to prevailing winds speed and direction at the time of travel. Since it moves with the wind, no wind is ever felt during the trip, offering the passengers a full “floating sensation”.

It’s an unique journey. The feeling of floating in the atmosphere – on top of a cloud – with an open schedule and unknown final destiny. All National Ground would be potentially covered at virtually no cost and the help of the wind. The journey becomes your destiny.
