24 alternatives to SoundCloud Instant

I was playing around with the SoundCloud API earlier today, and I saw how easy it would be to make an 'instant search' for SoundCloud. I know these aren't super original but they're fun and easy to make so I couldn't resist. Still is buggy, but I'm going for 'just ship it' instead of 'make it perfect.' It's all client side so I'm hosting it on a static site on S3. http://soundcloudinstant.com
