Groove Salad is the best music that I have found that I can work consistently to. Definitely recommend checking it out if downtempo electronic music is your preferred work music.

I'm a big fan of Space Station soma too.

Radio Paradise is excellent for a wider spread of genres, and comes in 192kb ogg as well.

Kudos for the try. I'd really like to know why it must be $410 and not $500 or $250.

It suddenly changed to needing $1170. I did notice the page showing $410 when you first submitted this. I assume this is because also between refreshes, the support page shows almost $300 came in.

I noticed this as well and think it deserves some kind of explanation.

$1080 now..

From the support page, it looks like it costs $35000 per month to run the radio. To me it seems to be a lot.

Monthly rent, utilities, payroll, bandwidth, and royalties probably do add up to that, if not more.

Sort your finances, public more information and put an official counter or collect money through 3rd party provider.

From information in comments below me and probably a lot of people would not be happy to donate...

Seriously, it needs a live counter which always incites more people to donate.

Put how much you need each month, bill everyone who pays monthly at the start to get the "guaranteed" payment sorted for that month then try and get more each month.

SomaFM is great and groovesalad is on for most of my day.

An almost identical post was made in the past (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4049463). HN generally isn't the place for these.

This stuff should be blocked from this site. I'm surprised it made it to the front page.

Flag posts you think don't belong.
