Good music for focus and flow
From 3 comments
Great Job. I viewed this just because I like seeing what people on HN are working on. Then 1 hour later, I realized that the music was still playing and I was in a state of flow…
mmcdan on HNI'm not sure if you just happened to hit some good songs or what, but I like this a good deal, am using it this evening and plan on doing so in future. My tired old play lists…

Objections
No volume control
From 3 comments
Nice work! I'd love to see the addition of a volume control. With my headphones, even at the lowest volume level above mute, the music is still louder than I'd like. This seems…
ajtaylor on HNSame issue for me! Unusable without volume control.

Does not work in some browsers or requires Flash
From 4 comments
This looks great, but unfortunately it doesn't actually play for me. Soundcloud works fine for me (Chromium on Ubuntu), any reason why it wouldn't play?
Robin_Message on HNnot working for me under the latest Firefox either. Soundcloud itself works fine and I use it all the time.
engtech on HNvery nice, but need a version without Flash.
bert2002 on HNIt doesn't support IE 9. Fail. I remember when it was fashionable for "enterprises" to make IE-only sites circa 2000. Now it's fashionable for "startups" to make sites that don't…

Genre choice or more playlists
From 3 comments
I want the ability to choose genre - Trance is ok sometimes, but I like to be able to switch it up. Should be an easy adjustment. Check the input, sanitize, pass to your…

dracoli on HNI'm more a fan of rock and metal, but I dig the Fast & Faster functionality. It would be awesome to have that for a rock & metal playlist: hard rock -> heavy metal -> thrash…

No vocals option
From 1 comment
I would kill for a "no vocals" option. Trance vocals make me want to jump out of a window.

Save or favourite songs
From 2 comments
A feature to save the songs will be great. I know that I can go back to SoundCloud when clicking on a song but its a hassle so far. So how about adding a small profile? Otherwise…
why-el on HNit would be great (and probably trivially easy) if it included a button to add the song to your soundcloud faves.

Questions
How does the song selection work
From 2 comments
Good stuff man, I like what I hear so far! What type of algorithms are you using to choose what to play?
cellis on HNWhere do you get the music from?

What is the technology stack
From 1 comment
The interface is nice and I like the responsiveness of it all. Could you briefly describe the technology/infrastructure stack you used?

You might like somafm.com, they have some great channels including beat blender, among others. Ad free too.
j45 on HNI like the idea, not so much the music though. My recommendation for getting work done music: soma.fm.

8tracks
From 1 comment
I think the concept is very minimalist on purpose, for something more complete, maybe you will enjoy something like 8tracks...
