Ask YC: What streaming radio stations do you listen to while hacking?
I am adding sort of a streaming radio ripper to my site, but different streams use different methods of the address for the stream, .m3u and .pls contain different data. I am looking to gather a bit of test data. So if you could let me know what is the address or the name of any stream you listen to. I'd be grateful. Thanks.
- samb 19y agorecently i've been listening to recordings of street noise from my walk to work. it seems to be helping me achieve flow faster. i get my best flow when walking to work, so i figure i'd try it. anyone else interested in trying out some of these recordings? i'll post them if there's interest in an experiment.
- zach 19y agoThat's a cool idea. I'd be interested, although by the measure of where I have useful ideas, I should instead listen to a recording of a shower. A very calming form of white noise, although it could precipitate increased restroom usage. I often get into the groove of the sonic landscapes at Quiet American's One Minute Vacations and wish for longer versions: http://www.quietamerican.org/vacation.html http://www.quietamerican.org/vacation.html There is one link there to a streaming server that serves up a long-form field recording for your testing: http://69.64.229.114:8000/ http://69.64.229.114:8000/
