Sounds very nice. FYI I get an audio "click" every 30-60 seconds. Firefox v102.0.1 on MacOS 12.4 apple M1.
I also get this on Android Chrome

#112Why are some songs marked as "ADHD"? This sounds like a medical claim that you should not be making.
I work in medical device regulations.
The way ADHD appeared is clearly not a claim, and there is not regulatory concern of any sort here in any jurisdiction I could think of.
That said - regardless of regulations, you don't want to confuse your users, so better leave this acronym out indeed.

#114Love this. A project I've had in mind for a while but realistically will never get around to building is an ambient/coding music generator that's hooked up to a metric, e.g. your project's latency, autoscale size, error rate, potentially controlling different instruments. It would be fun to be able to subconsciously monitor your system without staring at graphs.
That reminds me of Douglas Adams’ fictional Anthem “spreadsheet”, that generated corporate anthems from business data… :)

That's a cool idea. Something that was suggested to me with Flowful was to use some sort of body triggers, perhaps from facial recgonition through your device's camera, to determine when the user was becoming less focused. The music could then adapt to help them get back on track. So many cool possibilities.
When I was younger, I was into autohotkey. My PC would go off because of a powercut and the ups failed in 4-8 minutes while beeping. Found "tonedet" or something that listens to a specific tone and does something via ahk which in my case was proper shutdown. That was a success. Then I thought of a project that would give me status via soundbeep,500,400. I never got around to doing that but it wouldn't have been half…
I remember the first time I assembled a PC (nineties), listening to motherboard beeps and comparing against the (printed) manual to work out what was wrong.

Most services have a "radio" station based on that song/genre that gives you almost endless listening time for that type of content.
Such offerings have discontinuities between tracks or beat matched transitions. These generated tracks are constructed to continue with the same themes and sounds as long as wanted. It may or may not be desirable, but it is different.
Oh, this makes sense, I didn't really think of the transition as potentially being distracting or a cue to stop working.
I personally use a "relaxing music playlist/radio", the songs are pretty similar (meditation music), and I don't often notice the song changing, but I do often notice that suddenly I am listening to a completely different melody.

A long time ago, a friend mentioned this exact same idea! The analogy he used was how steam engine operators became so familiar with their machines that they could tell what was going on just by listening. I'm not sure if we can really do the same with services, but it's a fun thought experiment.
At one place I worked at back in the 1970s there was a speaker on the mainframe (it may have just been a transistor radio picking up interference) and you could get some idea of what the machine was doing from the sound.
Very Nullsoft Beep.

Yeah you are right. Thanks for the heads up. I'll see what I can do to update it

I showed the audience the website and mentioned it was randomly generated music a few times, hope that's OK :)
yeah that's cool, thanks. What's your stream?
