This music is amazing! Is it from one playlist on soundcloud?

The default is one playlist, yes. But if you head to the "music" tab, you can choose from a bunch more!

I might be missing it, but is there a link anywhere to the individual playlists on Soundcloud? Would love little links on the music tab to go straight to the playlist vs. just the individual song from clicking the link at the bottom right.

The playlist is great but I don't always want the video running to listen to it.

Ah, there isn't, but that's a good idea. Is there a playlist in particular you wanted a link to, I can pull it up for you.

The chillout one is excellent. Not sure how much revenue opportunity there is, but redesigning that sound player and curating the music with affiliate links might cover some of the hosting bill.

Out of curiosity, can you speak to your hosting situation and costs as related to getting hit with this news?

I'm a novice coder, but I'm trying to learn about the sysadmin side of things too and wondering how one might take a site like this and avoid massive bills.

I was also curious to find the chill out set so I looked in the source of app.js to find the playlist id and fetch the response:

`curl http://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/9875415.json?client_id=0...
