SkreemR is one of the most popular mp3 search engines. Unfortunately, the interface is very lacking to say the least. It looks like a website from the early 1990s, which is a shame because the functionality is very good, specially the in-page mp3 player that allows you to play the search results without leaving the page.
I got frustrated with the interface and decided to do something about it. I started writing a Greasemonkey script. Greasemonkey is a Firefox plugin that allows you to install scripts that modify the way websites look and behave, anything from a small section to the entire page, everything is possible.
My goal was to write an interface as compact as possible, without all the garbage that the original site had, and without having to scroll so much to go through the results. The result was a very minimal interface that's very easy to navigate. I call it SkreemR 2.0.
I upoloaded the script to userscripts.org, a site that hosts Greasemonkey scripts. Check it out here.
