Earlier quoted context omitted.

You missed the part of better alternatives. I didn't mean to turn off the anim, just switch it to a more efficient method of doing it.

What are the better alternatives?

I'm guessing pre-rendered animations. Better alternative if you're optimizing for performance, but maybe not if we're optimizing for other metrics.

Nice project :) For my own use, I keep a list of such youtube stations in a file and use a script to play through them (I can specify by srl no., shuffle, play a random station etc). Much more lighter on the system as I use mpv to just play the audio stream. Also, allows me to repurpose the script for various lists for various genre.

I have one too. Is your code open? Ty

Its hacky but sure, here you go: https://pastebin.com/BVs4dCPm

Video may be cheap, too: h.264 or WebM are relatively low cost on even reasonably modern devices.

I would go for videos + options to go with static assets. You could pause background video playback when the tab is not active.

My tests show the tab does not consume much when it is not visible.

If you like this, you may enjoy PoolsideFM: https://poolside.fm

Poolside FM is my favorite radio app but this is beautiful!

Since we're making a list https://plaza.one is good for obscure vaporwave. I've heard songs that I absolutely have not been able to find elsewhere on the internet.

Who gets credit for the artwork? It's really cool. I feel like all the channels/music are getting pulled from live lofi streams that I listen to on YouTube on a day-to-day. But the artwork isn't the same; so was that original for this project? Any idea how they're made?

I wanna agree with this. I've seen a bunch of those animations before..e.g. https://www.deviantart.com/kirokaze and it would probably be great to give the original artists a shout out.

Oooh, that's very cool.
