Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think the name "GitHub Audio" is confusing and probably a trademark violation. When I read "GitHub Audio", I figured it was a new service by GitHub for musicians to version control their music.

That would be very very cool, but good luck with trying to version .logicx or .cpr I think popular software vendors should seriously reconsider their file formats in the 21st century, including graphical and audio ones.

Why wouldn't it be possible to version control in the same way we version control other random files? Just treat it as a stream of arbitrary data.

This is what I don't understand about Android. I have sounds set to "Alarms only" yet this webpage still plays it's tones.

That is something I've been googling an answer for. In "alarms only" mode the media volume is still not muted, as one would expect from the name. It seems they forgot to make it so, or forgot to describe that mode as "alarms + media only"...

Media volume can be max even if ringtone volume is zero. Also on my phone (Galaxy S7) notifications is a separate volume which isn't controlled by the ringer volume, except that it is muted when you mute the ringer volume. I have started playing really loud things many times in bad situations due to the media volume not muting or reducing when you silence the phone.

Same. I'm at work on the toilet. Someone just called over if I needed assistance.

This is an interesting example where the new expanded set of TLDs can get confusing. My brain interpreted the URL as something semantically like "audio.github.com". Put another way, I thought the site was actually GitHub-made at first glance at its domain. Of course, this was possible in various ways before expanding TLDs, but I think the problem, and thus the ease of phishing, is greater now.

Same here, I was ready to let my mind explode with the implementation details.

Very nice. Although open source music where you have MIT licensed songs in editable format would also be an interesting experiment.
