YouTube-to-Spotify converter

I have been doing some JS lately and I would like to get some constructive criticism.

The project I am working on

``
var SpotifiedList = [],
youtubeSongs, spotifySongs = 0,
spotifiedSongs = 0,
playNext;

$(document).ready(function () {
var id = window.location.hash;
if (id) {
$("#playlistID").val(id.substring(1));
startProcess();
}
});

function resetTimer() {
console.log("timer reset!")
clearTimeout(playNext);
}

function startProcess() {
$("#errorOccured").hide();
if ($("#playlistID").val().length playlist ID.");
} else {
window.location.hash = $("#playlistID").val();
$("#list").html('This might take some time.');
$(".alert-info").html("Loading");
$(".alert-danger").hide();
retrieveYoutubePlaylist($("#playlistID").val(), 1, [], 1);
}
}

function retrieveYoutubePlaylist(id, startIndex, list, k) {
$("#loading").show();
$.ajax({
url: 'https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/' + id + '?v=2&alt=json&start-index=' + startIndex + '&max-results=50',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
if (typeof data.feed.entry === 'undefined') {} else {
for (var i = 0; i 0) {
spotifiedSongs += 1;
$("#list").append('' + data.tracks[0].artists[0].name + ' - ' + data.tracks[0].name + '');
var info = {
'url': data.tracks[0].href,
'length': Math.round(data.tracks[0].length * 1000),
'name': data.tracks[0].artists[0].name + ' - ' + data.tracks[0].name
}
SpotifiedList.push(info);
}
if (youtubeSongs == spotifySongs) {
$(".alert-info").html('\
\
Play/Skip\
\
Converted songs: ' + spotifiedSongs + '/' + youtubeSongs);
}
});
}

function parseTitle(title) {

var newTitle = title
.replace(/[-!$%^&_+|~={}:";'<>?,.\/]/g, '')
.replace(/ /g, ' ')
.replace(/\[.*\]/g, '')
.replace(/lyrics/g, '')
.replace(/\(.*\)/g, '')
.replace(/\.\*/g, '')
.replace(/ /g, ' ');

return newTitle;
}

func

General

I could work with this code, I only have a few remarks.

Globals

You should consider as a minimum to have your 4 globals in an object.

var player = 
{
  spotifiedList : [],
  youtubeSongs : 0,
  spotifySongs : 0,
  spotifiedSongs : 0,
  playNext : 0
}

You could even add most of the functions to the player object

resetTimer

You should remove the console.log, which makes this a simple one liner. If you keep it ( function name neatly explains what it does ), make sure to call it from play() instead of doing a straight clearTimeout(playNext).

startProcess

You could consider caching the jQuery queries, maybe in the before proposed player object.

retrieveYoutubePlaylist

if (typeof data.feed.entry === 'undefined') {} else { is just wrong.

retrieveSpotify

Encoding onclick= is wrong as well.
Building HTML should be contained to separate functions.

parseTitle

I have no idea what that does, a few comments are needed there

play

I am curious, what does >> 0 get you ? Force it into an integer?
