Not getting https://www.locserendipity.com/Listen.html (with the low pass filter) to play. Is that supposed to play like https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?

It works a bit differently. You press "Random" or do a search, then click the songs that appeal to you. They are added to the (text) playlist. The idea is that you can change and save the playlist--no login required. You can even download the whole thing and use it offline, completely privately. It still works. The only bug is that you cannot skip.

I’m not getting a play button on the low-static version. I did manually copy one of the mp3 URLs [1] and it sounds great though. I’m on iOS (Safari on iPad) if that makes a difference.

[1] That saxophone sounds great on headphones! https://archive.org/download/78_all-by-myself_don-cherry-gra...

That is quality music! I have listened to many hours of this, and only one of the songs brought me to tears: https://ia600705.us.archive.org/25/items/78_how-can-you-refu... and from the radio drama section, John Finninmore's Souvenir program is tops: https://archive.org/download/JFSP56/0-101.mp3 and this one was among the most memorable: http://www.rusc.com/members/files/mp3/f/favs.1949.03.05_Bet_...

Thanks for the suggestions. If you like that one maybe you'd like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtolv9kM1qk

Thanks Dmitry! Love the idea of your app Pony (https://www.ponymessenger.com/). I will try it out. Sent you a connection request on LinkedIn.

Hey thanks a lot! It's soft launched. I'd love to hear what you think. If you try iOS, the TestFlight build [0] is most current. I deploy the web app all the time (just deployed, actually, so if you reload, maybe it'll be a bit different :). Android soon. I'm hoping to do a Show HN in a few weeks.

Looks like it does work, but it takes a lot longer to load the first piece of music compared to the PushPlay.html version.
