#22Everything I click on results in a pop-up directing me to go premium, including links that don't have that little icon indicating it's only available for premium subscribers.

#23I've downloaded few mixes with relaxing music from YT and created a playlist in my foobar, it's simple and it doesn't require browser. I also recommend some radio streams:

#24While I think this is a really cool product with incredible art assets, I just can't see myself paying $4 monthly (or $100 once) for a number of looping videos, a spotify playlist, customizable audio effects, and a few productivity tools, most of which could be stored in the user's browser, and most of which have better, free alternatives. As a user I'd probably feel more comfortable handing over closer to $1/mo, but…
Ya its a bit pricey but really good execution. If there was an open source version of this where you could use ur own files but this was the player or something would be dope. Cant fault someone for trying to make some money though.

#26I’ve been compiling a list of focus inducing songs on Deezer.
My method is to vet a random playlist by listening to it during an intense coding session. If I can make it through without getting distracted I add it to my focus playlist.
I have a subsequent vetting process where - if at any point when listening to a song on my focus playlist - a song grabs my attention I’ll remove it.
It’s grown to over 75 hours of music at this point. I can listen to it for days on shuffle without hearing anything familiar which helps keep it in the background.

#27Just type in something you feel in YouTube and you get that kind of music.
Relaxed coding music, tavern programming music, melodic slow dungeon music, dark church chill music. Celtic modern electronic lounge music, wizard fantasy medevil dubstep relaxed music, sad jungle music, back to 90s synthwave modern music, truckers traffic jam music. You name it.
I am amazed how many genres there are out there. I listen it all the time.

#28I’ve settled on https://www.brain.fm/ for this. I really like how I can dial the music in for the desired effect. For me, it’s more convenient and effective than searching playlists.

That's great, thanks for sharing! However you will soon hit the 2000 songs limit on the playlist, if Deezer did not remove it already.

Ha! I already hit it. That’s why the playlist isn’t any longer.
You’re the first person I’ve met who knows this limit. Every time I complain about the 2k limit in my social circles, I get these weird looks like they’re saying “who’d ever need more than 2k songs?”
