I used to run a site in which we just played random music with no ads/no revenue. We still got a cease and desist letter giving us no choice but to shut it down. I get why they exist, but they are more about stomping out sites rather than working them to figure out a path that…

Is there some way to limit streamed music to stuff that has a suitable license? I'm thinking specifically of Creative Commons stuff. Or couldn't you make a front end that pulls audio from Spotify or some other paid service? I want to see ideas like this flourish and support artists.

May I also suggest the [freeCodeCamp.org Code Radio][1]. They actually had a [recording artist contribute and curate most of the beats under a creative license][2]. [1]: https://coderadio.freecodecamp.org/ [2]: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/code-radio-24-7/

I really like this idea, is there a way to add soundcloud streams to it instead of youtube? I'd like to link this from my soundcloud page.
