As I noted, I'm delighted by the new auto-generated YouTube videos that include a LOT of recordings that there weren't videos for before, including a lot of my obscure favorites as well as unobscure ones like Bob Dylan. However, there are still a bunch missing. For the life of me, I can't figure out the criteria for how these get produced. My first idea was that the records have to be still in print, but I've found some where I'm sure that they aren't and failed to find ones where I'm sure that they are (still in print). Of course my idea of still in print might be different from Google's and YouTube's; a lot of my heroes are bigger in Europe than here.
I tried searching Google (they do own YouTube), but YouTube apparently auto-generates a lot of stuff, nearly all of which annoy somebody or other, so finding hits about their actual auto-generated videos (which after all haven't been around long) has proved impossible. All I can say is, you guys need to get on the stick with auto-generating a video for "Closer" by Steve Wynn. And I don't mean the butthole in Vegas!
