Very nice. I love the rain and use the White Noise app set on Rain on my phone every night to help me sleep.

Just one thing, I am not sure how dropping my name and email will contribute to more features? I know you say you're not going to spam me, but it seems like you're just collecting emails to selective email me other things I might not be interested in.

Hey, I didn't create the site. But a friend of mine did. He did this in his spare time. The email thing I assume is a way of gauging support and maintaining interest. I think he wants to be able to tell people about added audio etc.

I'll get him to comment on it further.

Gotcha, that makes sense and is legitimate. Sometimes I get so jaded about people collecting my name and email for no reason that I forget that there are perfectly okay reasons to request it.
