I’m not getting a play button on the low-static version. I did manually copy one of the mp3 URLs [1] and it sounds great though. I’m on iOS (Safari on iPad) if that makes a difference. [1] That saxophone sounds great on headphones! https://archive.org/download/78_all-by-myself_don-cherry-gra...

That is quality music! I have listened to many hours of this, and only one of the songs brought me to tears: https://ia600705.us.archive.org/25/items/78_how-can-you-refu... and from the radio drama section, John Finninmore's Souvenir program is tops: https://archive.org/download/JFSP56/0-101.mp3 and this one was among the most memorable: http://www.rusc.com/members/files/mp3/f/favs.1949.03.05_Bet_...

Thanks for the suggestions. If you like that one maybe you'd like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtolv9kM1qk

Thanks Dmitry! Love the idea of your app Pony (https://www.ponymessenger.com/). I will try it out. Sent you a connection request on LinkedIn.

Hey thanks a lot! It's soft launched. I'd love to hear what you think. If you try iOS, the TestFlight build [0] is most current. I deploy the web app all the time (just deployed, actually, so if you reload, maybe it'll be a bit different :). Android soon. I'm hoping to do a Show HN in a few weeks.

Not infinite, there's only 29816 items in the list ;) But seriously, really awesome! Thanks for this :)

They just have to keep adding new items faster than you can listen to them!

Love your books! https://www.oreilly.com/pub/au/3887 and Bellish looks pretty cool too (https://www.bellish.co/).

Hmm...though I'm wondering were there always greater than 365 full days of audio recorded every year? I'm not sure that is true for the late 1920's-1930's, though by today (and maybe by the 1960's or so) that has become true.

So I guess it will eventually become infinite with the metric of being able to listen to them all, though at the moment I'm not sure it is quite infinite yet.
