Some music starting to play in background would definitely be great.
Btw, I just tried both endel and brainfm and both required me to sign up before i could listen to any music.

Don’t do that, I could see that being bad too. Unable to stop or pause is another problem. The various screens to get started just need to go away.
Hey there, I appreciate the feedback and the tutorial screens will definitely go away as soon as the landing page will be live later next month.
Can I ask what you mean by unable to stop or pause?
It was a direct response to auto-playing when loading the page. I think if you did that but popped the screens you do now you pose a problem of people that load the page but don’t have the ability to pause. Imagine a work environment as an example of that.

I presume they might mean ability to play and pause with either integrated phone controls or keyboard play pause. In other words, it should be simple to pause the background music if needed. Lovely application! I’ll use it at work tomorrow.

when the 'buy premium' window with the difference between free and paid tier was up, I couldn't use the controls to pause the music. The controls should always work.

strongly disagree. If your web page of any kind autoplays music, I'm just closing it right away.

maybe something changed but back when I signed up for them both, I'd listen to the free tracks without signing up. they proved their value and I ended up signing up so I could get the whole catalog.
