"TestTube", as Google is calling its new feature of Youtube, is a public beta test area in which users can test some of their new concoctions. The first thing that caught my eye is AudioSwap. It allows you to take your existing Youtube videos, and overwrite the current audio with a song. The songs are licensed by the original artist, and hosted on Youtube with permission. Currently the selection of music is extremely limited, but I managed to find at least one good band. Unlike most Youtube videos, the sound that they're allowing you to stream is superb. With a free youtube converter such as Vixy, I smell free music.
The next upcoming(?) feature is Streams. It's a chat room where users can talk and share video in real time. Some are pretty neat, and are only showing music videos. There are other categories, such as funny videos as well. Nothing really that exciting here. Judging by the average Youtube comments, these chat rooms will turn in to a AOL like free for all in no time.

Alex-
Like you, I enjoy watching music videos on youtube. But I really need them on my iPod when I am out jogging or whatever. So, I created the beast at infinear.com. You can watch and record videos to mp3. Please be aware that I take 4 minutes for a 4min video. vixy takes 7 mins currently. I will get it down to sub 10 secs soon. Along with a raft of features.
If you can watch it, you can get it on your mp3 player/phone…
Cool stuff you have…
