- aabergkvist 8y agoThanks, Checking!
- osrec 8y agoI would find this rather useful, but as vanzorn pointed out, you appear to have a few errors in your JS and URLs.
- aabergkvist 8y agoWe're re-uploading to a different source as we speak, please bear with us!
- aabergkvist 8y agoDigitalocean saves the day, URL's will be fully functional in 10 minutes!
- Toadsoup 8y agoLooks like it's working now - nice recovery!
- osrec 8y agoNice work, and thanks for the resource :)
- swyx 8y agohmm i wonder if anyone from DO reading this might be able to help you stand this up for free? :)
- odd_noises 8y agoThis is absolutely dope. Thank you!
- ozzmotik 8y agotangentially related: everything I've ever made I've released under CC BY https://pastebin.com/vv2AMmCN https://pastebin.com/vv2AMmCN contains a list of all the different soundcloid accounts I've created over the years so there's a bunch of random crap to dig through if the interest exists
- aabergkvist 8y agoOur curator (martin) just went mental. THANK YOU! This is great, how can we credit you properly?
- ozzmotik 8y agoyou can just credit me as "ozmodic" :)

Note that the quality may very severely because those contain the music that I made when I first started 14 years ago as well. but either way there's a lot more there if your curator is willing to dig.
- dbspin 8y agoThanks so much.
- abetusk 8y agoJust a quick poking around I notice that many of the songs either don't have a license or have a "non-commercial" license. I did find at least a bit that's licensed under "CY-BY" but from the random smattering I sampled, it seems like the majority might not be. Was the intent that all of the music listed there be released under a "CC-BY" license?
- dotdi 8y agoLoad of media resource [...]/bensound-jazzyfrenchy.mp3?plead=please-dont-download-this-or-our-lawyers-wont-let-us-host-audio failed. Sounds interesting...
- dkroy 8y agoCould you add more context to this? I am unsure of what you are saying, but am interested in what you may be trying to communicate.
- dotdi 8y agoSorry - I should have been a bit clearer. I was experiencing some errors on the website (i.e. songs not playing and showing a red x). When I looked into the browser console, I saw, among an error and some warnings, this URL. I shortened it a bit, because HN automatically translates URLs into proper links, which might or might not be a good idea here.

- MuneebShahid 8y agoThat's awesome..
- dharma1 8y agoWould be nice to: 1) show something happen in the UI straight after clicking play - there might be several seconds latency before it starts streaming now 2) pause any currently playing track after clicking "Play" on another track, so you don't get a soundclash
- aabergkvist 8y ago1.) I think we have to upgrade the storage server.. 2.) Yes, straight to the roadmap. Thank you!
- TheRealPomax 8y ago1) still add a loading indicator of some sort. Even if you upgrade your storage server, that does not affect the browsing user's connection =) (we're still not all on broadband)
- aabergkvist 8y agoIt's added: https://trello.com/b/SAn8emo2/cchoundcom-roadmap-public https://trello.com/b/SAn8emo2/cchoundcom-roadmap-public Thanks :)
- mixmastamyk 8y agoHi, how would you show the necessary attribution if you are making a video? Caption or perhaps credits at the end?
- aabergkvist 8y agoThe credit should in most cases be placed in the description! We're working on a guide to help you figure it out more easily, until then the link to the CC description is all we can offer unfortunately.
- acobster 8y agoShameless plug for Fang Chia! Would love to offer you some of our material. All of it is CC-BY-SA. If interested let me know and I can send download codes! http://media.fangchia.com http://media.fangchia.com
- lowlevel 8y agoI'm loving this stuff... awesome tracks from some really amazing people.
- deleted 8y ago[deleted]
- wuliwong 8y agoCool project. One note, if someone presses play on a different track, the currently playing track should be paused.
- aabergkvist 8y agoYea, that is definitely on the roadmap!
- aabergkvist 8y agoas promised: https://trello.com/b/SAn8emo2/cchoundcom-roadmap-public https://trello.com/b/SAn8emo2/cchoundcom-roadmap-public
- dbspin 8y agoAmazing. Been looking for something like this to use as background music for youtube videos. Much appreciated.
- msla 8y agoThere's more royalty-free music at Incompetech: https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/music.html https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/music.html
- pedalpete 8y agoA nice UX treatment, if your service can handle it, is to start pre-loading on hover over the play button, that way the song is ready to play when the user clicks. It may seem like a minor thing, but it makes a big difference in usability, and your current design is sparce enough, with enough space that you would likely not get many false loads. With SoundCloud in the financial trouble it is in, and sites trying to use their API without paying, you could have a very good resource here. Have you got any plans regarding an api?
- aabergkvist 8y agoIt's added: https://trello.com/b/SAn8emo2/cchoundcom-roadmap-public https://trello.com/b/SAn8emo2/cchoundcom-roadmap-public Thanks for the feedback, if you have a specific use-case in mind API-wise, please don't hesitate one second to contact me @aabergkvist (twitter)
- abetusk 8y agoVery cool resource! It looks a little spartan now but hopefully this is just the beginning. For other folks looking for free/libre music, here are a few other resources I found: * Starfrosch https://starfrosch.com/ https://starfrosch.com/ * CCTrax https://cctrax.com/ https://cctrax.com/ * Free Music Archive http://freemusicarchive.org/ http://freemusicarchive.org/
- app4soft 8y agoIf you will look inside files taken from http://cchound.com http://cchound.com you will see that original files itself taken directly from http://freemusicarchive.org/ http://freemusicarchive.org/ ;-)
- empressplay 8y agoI just uploaded 810MB (66 songs) of CC-BY licensed music (mostly instrumental electronic) I've created over the last 5 years to archive.org https://archive.org/details/MelodyAyresGriffiths https://archive.org/details/MelodyAyresGriffiths
- martinhs 8y agoThanks so much for sharing! Will have a listen!
- app4soft 8y agoWhy there are different URL schemes for direct links, for example: - https://ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/cchound/Jahzzar_-_05_-_Siesta.mp3 https://ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/cchound/Jahzzar_-_05_-_S... - https://cchound.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/Jahzzar_-_06_-_Wall.mp3 https://cchound.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/Jahzzar_-_06_-_W...
- martinhs 8y agoThe URL outputs differently depending on how I pull them from our hosting it seems! Both formats work on all download links though. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
