While difficuelt to have, I prefer a eerie silence when working. I do wonder how many actually uses sites like this, but it’s nice that people have the option.
I wear earbuds inside a pair of Bose headphones. Complete silence, except for what I choose to play.

> I do wonder how many actually uses sites like this The one I've been using for years and years is A Soft Murmur [0]. You can put together a mix of a few sounds to suit your preference. I like to prioritize the coffee shop and rain (about 50% each) with some thunder (25%) and a light fire (25%). There's also a "meander" option where any non-silenced sound's volume will move up and down at random so it's not the exac…
I have been toying with an idea for a few years of doing something just like that. But with arcade sounds. But ideas are just ideas :)...
I love this. What would be amazing is if there was a command line program that would download a playlist like this and push it to my iPhone (sync to Music app) so when I'm driving or traveling on an airplane I can simply ask Siri to play these songs without touching my phone or worrying about internet connectivity. I currently do this with youtube-dl, I can download a playlist on youtube with it (best audio format) a…
I've spent hours listening to this kind of ambience while working, but for me it's a little too bland. Video game music on the other hand is perfect for working. I've had this one on repeat for the past 10 days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lERcfsqJSk
They've been fantastic for helping me both stay relaxed and focus in on whatever I happen to be doing
With the luxury of working from home during the pandemic, I've much preferred using the opportunity to discover new music during the day, rather than listening to nondescript ambient music on the loop. I suggest others give it a try. It's not like the two are mutually exclusive. You could give Robert Fripp's discography a try for ambient/electronic, for instance: https://open.spotify.com/album/3gHpX5wJn0kzAXJvwORG6u
Same thing happens to me with music of sufficient complexity such as a baroque counterpoint style.
Is it me, or is there no volume control for the music?
yup, there is none. I guess just use your desktop's sound controls

If you like video game music in the background, you might like these sites: Rainwave (general VGM): https://rainwave.cc/all/ Jet Set Radio (more high-energy, but they have a lo-fi station or two now): https://jetsetradio.live/ Nightwave Plaza (not exactly VGM, but vaporwave makes good ambient music IMO): https://plaza.one/
I used to love Jet Set Radio Future, and the music was a big part of that.
They have multiple music stations, multiple “TV” channels, a graffiti board, and a chat box that all try to recreate that Jet Set vibe. Just be cautious opening that graffiti board at work...
