Curiously, what really works for me relaxation-wise are real background sounds. For example, a 5 hours long recording of a single rain. These artificial generators doesn't give me the same vibes.

#82Is there anyone who's making this type of music? How to get started?
There are some good tutorials on YouTube. If you use iOS, GarageBand is free and up to the task.

Same. In fact, lofi seems to really disrupt my focus. There are times where a beat/kick is so loud it becomes disruptive. I also like background sounds and true ambient music.

#85I’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 mus…

Very interesting. Up until now I been thinking that I need some kind of noise or non-vocals music just to silence the other distractions to get started, once I get in a "flow state" I think music becomes white noise to me and I barely notice the music playing. Never noticed particularly that anything from any of those playlists on YouTube got distracting in between.
I too have noticed that I end up having to look for some other playlist every few days once that combination of tones starts getting familiar.
Unfortunately, Deezer isn't available globally so can't access that playlist. Thanks for sharing.

#86Yours is great but I love this one :) https://driveandlisten.herokuapp.com/
Ha! This is great, I wish I could just turn off the video and just listen to the street sounds and radio from various countries.

#88I'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: https://somafm.com http://echoesofbluemars.org/ https://plaza.one/

#89I really expected there to be something like this, but for VR, by now (although I haven't been keeping as close attention lately, since so much of the market has gotten locked down).
The problem with VR right now is almost no support for background tasks so if you release this as an app it will be all you can do. There are complicated workaround and edge cases but for the most part locked down vendor OS will need to advance a little to make this work. That said there was a custom Spotify release in 2019 for Magic Leap [1]

Same. I have rainymood running all day at work. I love it. Makes me miss home where it rained weekly.
