I have also been loving Brain.fm—no other "focus music" I have tried has worked so well.

If anyone here tries it and likes it, there is actually a pretty good discount on various subscription types that expires in a few hours: https://shop.theawesomer.com/sales/brain-fm-lifetime-subscri...

The discounts are not actually as steep as the site claims (for example, lifetime is normally $150, not $200), but they are still quite good.

"Lifetime" subscription? What does that mean? The lifetime of brain.fm?

No. It means if you're the last living customer of brain.fm, they will be forced by the authorities to operate their service till your children decide to take you off of life support.

Yes. Lifetime of the company. Companies have the ability to ditch nearly all obligations in bankruptcy.

Currently the Digg Store has a lifetime subscription for $39: https://store.digg.com/sales/brain-fm-lifetime-subscription

I have never used the Digg store, they sent me 10% off though for signing up. So got it for even less expensive.

Thanks for the link. I really liked the music so ended up getting it.

Thank you. Tried it out, liked it a lot (felt improved from when they first launched), viewed the regular pricing and was trying to justify it... then found your link. Just purchased!

Well I'm trying to love it but it just sits on Loading Brainwave audio whilst Stephen Hawkings @ Cambridge Uni reads the email.

Cant handle hacker news bandwidth requirements?

Seems to like any email address I give it, perhaps Bill Gates might like some brain.fm instead... as if..
