Show HN: My weekend project using the Soundcloud API

I'm a college student with a bit too much time this summer. Thought of this site on a plane ride a few months ago and finally decided to put it together, let me know what you think! Should be great coding music.

Does "gimme the next one cap'n" just advance to the next song, or is there some Pandora-type 'I hate this song, never play it' thing going on? Presumably the former but thought I'd ask.

Also, the insertion of extra text into my copy of "gimme the next one cap'n" was annoying, though I see its utility.

All of the music comes from two json objects, one is 'fast' and the other is 'faster'. Clicking "the last one was sweet" goes back a song, and "gimme the next one cap'n" goes forward a song, from whatever list you're currently playing (fast or faster).

Do you know any other sources of coding music?

My favorite is definitely Trance Around the World http://trancearoundtheworld.com -- I actually themed the music on this site to kind of fit in a similar flow, I always feel like a productivity robot when listening to TATW

TATW is the only thing I can listen to when doing work...it just pulls you in.

Thanks for this link - that's a great music source, reminds me of FriskyRadio

The UI is HORRENDOUS though...

Love the music/idea - but jesus, kill that page with fire.

Looks like console.fm crashed... I got a 502 bad gateway. MOAR BACKENDS NOW!

It's fixed now, you can always try the iOS app too.

I enjoy the few tracks on http://musicforprogramming.net/ , though it's not for everyone.

I used to have all the mixes from hybridized.org

Gray Area and Digital Witchcraft were fantastic

First thing that goes on when I sit down at the computer. Suits me perfectly for hacking away.

I listen to the "Coding Soundtrack" playlist on Spotify by James Dennis and there's also a programming music room on turntable that I can't remember the name of.

The name of the room is also Coding Soundtrack.

No offence, but it's a bit rubbish. How this got 174 upvotes is beyond me.

Anyway, Here's my weekend project on the SC api, which we won the Amsterdam Music Hack day SC api prize with:

This looks great, but unfortunately it doesn't actually play for me. Soundcloud works fine for me (Chromium on Ubuntu), any reason why it wouldn't play?

not working for me under the latest Firefox either. Soundcloud itself works fine and I use it all the time.

I tried again and it started working... must have been a server issue.

Fantastic. If this something you could write about or open-source? I'd love to mashup a version for jazz, soul. funk, etc.

I'm going to see how long I can leave it running before/if I tire of it
