I can't seem to find any information about the source of the music. I'm getting a lot of music that seems to be "generic", not even having artist names, but the Death Metal genre gave me a Cradle of Filth song and I know they are a real band with a real record label, which leads me to believe this is not being done with respect to copyright law.

Would be nice if they made an actual command line application too! Maybe as an npm module?

The concept is great, although I wasn't able to find a single genre playlist with tracks known to me (and I like to think that I know my music), which was kind of a turndown, since the point of a radio is to trust that once you pick a station, it will play things that you like, and in this case I found myself constantly alt-tabbing to type "next".

But that's an issue with the music and not with the page itself, which I enjoy.

This is really nicely done. I always get a smile on my face when these command line emulations implement clear, as I am a junkie for keeping my command sessions clean looking. I am only ever slightly bummed when the corresponding CTRL+L doesn't work.

However, how is stop not implemented? Such a natural thing to reach for.

Also, I just realized that reverse incremental search is implemented, as I tried to hit CTRL+R to reload the page. Very nice.

Just learned that it's dangerous to put a command prompt on a webpage because it took me about 0.2 seconds to hit ctrl+w 3 times and kill 3 tabs.

I like it though.

I really like the idea, in fact, I think it would be great to see a trend of command prompt UIs within simple web apps like these. It takes advantage of the fact that beyond all of the colors and paddings on websites, the Text is all that matters. However, I'm not saying all websites should be like this (obviously) but it could issue an improvement in actual web content.

I use Soundcloud a lot and their interface is a bit resource (CPU) heavy when I nearly always just want to play my likes. This is totally great and I would use it.

I've tried to list my likes a few times, and it asks me to log in, but then glitches out and seems to enter something as the email and password (which are obviously wrong). Any idea if this is just me?

I wish they could use OAuth 2.0 instead of having to type in the password.

They were pretty responsive when it came to bugs and suggestions, but they don't realize that when you login, it is storing your command inputs in local storage, including your password.

Awesome, you should add sleep function, i want to use it while sleep.

This is flipping awesome.

I Love it.. for so many reasons :)

I like it.

this is cool

nice!
