"... two out of three of people like to listen to music while they work, study or read but it’s difficult to find and manage music that consistently works well for this purpose."

Precisely! I like to listen to ambient music when working and constantly trying to find new music for this purpose is quite a hassle.

This is a great little service. I have a "concentrate" playlist in spotify that tries to fill this need with classical music, but I listen to it in the background so much that even with a fairly long playlist I get tired of hearing the same songs. Will definitely be trying this out.

Nice service. When I'm coding Trance, mainly Armin van Buuren, works best for me.

Agreed and same. I have a playlist on my phone for just trance which gets listened to whenever I'm working or even exercising.

I noticed something really interesting - your pace adjusts to the beat. For example, I took my headphones off to take a call and I was in awe at the speed of the beat, which only 2 minutes ago sounded fairly regular and not as fast.

On the advice of coffitivity, I've turned to human environments for ambient noise. I've been blessed with library access to the BBC sound effects library. http://www.sound-ideas.com/sound-effects/bbc-41-60-cds-sound... Some are the typical sfx fare, but the latter half is of city streets from around the world.

The app layout is responsive and looks slick too. What framework (if any) did you use to build the UI?

Apologies, Just in case there has been any confusion. I just came across the Service, Liked it, Shared it here.

I am not involved in developing this service.

I liked the fact that, there is a lot of science that has gone behind it.
