Oh! Happy to see Listen to the cloud posted here! It’s been a crazy ride since I built it last November. I went viral in Russia and Kazakhstan And were interviewed by a Spanish newspaper called El Mundo together with Eric (who made youarelisteningto). The best outcome of it was receiving an email from a developer who had a lot of problem with ADD and anxiety and he told me about how listentotheclouds helped him focus while at work and expressing the gratitude. It’s very humbling to hear that something you built just for fun actually helps others in ways you had no idea it would.


My son loads your site while studying for math olympiad. He used to work along with a Spotify list but now prefers listentothe.cloud, thanks a lot.


Thank you, this is really nice! Tho, one question: Why does the ISS Space Station channel ask me to install Flash, while all the other channels seem to work just fine?


I need to use a video stream which is embedded through flash :)


What have you heard from ADD sufferers regarding playlists that work for them? Can this be Chromecasted?


The browser casting method works for me: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6279402?hl=en


Thank you for building it. It's honestly one of my favorite things to listen to on a lazy afternoon while doing chores.


Don't forget about GitHub Audio!

Made my evening, settling me down nicely. Thanks for posting.


New York didn't work as well as the rest - most of it is just the car's engine noise.

I'd love to get high-quality audio of a Subway train late at night when there are few passengers and little talking.

(And another also - the original Grand Theft Auto had a CD audio track that represented the ambient police audio; that's what played when you were in a police car, ambulance or fire truck. There's also a City Ambient for when you're walking around. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87Ls5ImYEXA )
