Very cool of you, I was debating the $149 price tag, but at $30 I just paid before I could think of a reason not to.

Quick question: is there a way to use an audio player (e.g., Audacious, RhythmBox, VLC) to stream the music without using a web browser? The animated light curves in the background make the browser use 100% of a whole CPU core, which isn't ideal, especially when using a laptop on battery.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Eeeek we getting fixing this asap. Until then iOS app is best bet.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
how about approximating those sine-wave curves with bezier curves?

ps: I'm getting my salary on Nov. 11th so could you extend your offer until then?

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Plug of my own. I'm a maintainer on an OSX toolbar plugin called BeardedSpice. Simple mapping of play/pause/etc/ keys to website audio players.

I was really happy to see we already had a controller strategy for brain.fm. You guys are making great stuff.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Hey, I'm really digging the Focus music. I was wondering to what headphones are you guys tuning it. It sounds awesome on my studio monitors, but it sounds like crap on my ATH-M50 cans due to the bass going over its limit unless I keep it to a rather low volume.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
I use Bose Q25s. The noise cancellation + constant noise of brain.fm are perfect for putting me in a bubble

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Hey you coming out w/ an android app any time soon? Would love to try the relax while I sleep. Just bought the pro deal.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Yup! 80% done, sprinting to release it.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Whenever I hear a programmer say "80% done" I think of the contractor's version: "two weeks", from the old '80s movie Money Pit:

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
The joke at my old work was 'basically done'. Meaning they spent a weekend equivalent on a prototype. Management heard 'done' the rest of us heard 'not production ready'.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Here is, 'done, just needs testing'.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Great, that means you only have 80% left to do!

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
well generally I think however long the first 80% takes, the last 20% will take 1-2 times that.. but cool that they're working on an android version, I'm patient and can wait. Loving brain.fm it actually works to keep me focused.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
So it's a paid service, but it won't tell me the price (or the limits on free accounts) until I give it my email... No thanks.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
That's a great offer! I'm chiming in to say that it made it a no-brainer for me as well and I signed up. I'm also interested in an Android app. :)

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Just checked out your site and it is great. The sound is superb and it really helps focusing. Also, your offer is super generous.

However, you only accept credit card payments. I would never give my credit card info to a random site just to read a month from now that they've been hacked.

Is there a reason you are not accepting PayPal or BitCoins? It seems that you are not using one of those big payment processors either.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
According to the FAQs they use Stripe.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
My fault. Indeed they submit to stripe. Sorry for the mistake.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
The form was pointing to their own website.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
That coupon code shows a negative price for the lower level memberships, not sure if that means you will be paying us for it :)

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
that would be a revolutionary business model

it's a tiny bug, fixing now!

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
I just tried it for an hour or so and it does seem great. Bummed on the lack of an Android app though... would've helped me immediately.

Anyway, I read your comments that it is nearly 80% done so I'll give it a shot and signup. The mobile version on Chrome browser works decently well so I think I'll manage with that till then.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Very cool of you guys offering such a big discount. Tried to sign-up, saw the banner (about the discount), chose lifetime subscription (even without trying) but my card still was charged $149.99. ;( Is there a way to fix this? I mean it totally maybe worth it, yet I wasn't ready to spend that much.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Oh, I just got refunded. Thanks!

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Impulse purchased this last night without really knowing what it was but boy was i impressed! Incredible really what you've done here and the developement team here loved it to! Well Played chaps!

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
I just spent 50 bucks for a yearly subscription to one of your competitors a week ago. My biggest complaint about them is that I can't get a list of tracks that I've really enjoyed and there's no upvote, play more like this feature. I don't care about social "likes" but some songs in an otherwise great playlist are just really grating and throw me right out of the focus window. It would be nice to say "don't play this again"

After multiple failsafe alarms are thwarted (including one Jean-Paul destroys), Jerry manages to get him to the race.

Burned and screaming, Jean-Paul loses his lead, and the dream of an Olympic-style comeback is ruined once again by a simple household mishap. Memorable Quote

In (Season 7, Episode 5), the Seinfeld gang finds their lives disrupted by a mix of misplaced hospitality and extreme temperatures. The Plot Threads

During the marathon, Jean-Paul is leading. He reaches for a cup of water, but Kramer—who is standing on the sidelines trying to warm up his "lukewarm" hot tub water with a heating element—accidentally hands Jean-Paul a cup of scalding hot coffee. After multiple failsafe alarms are thwarted (including one

The episode culminates in a comedy of errors involving heat and timing:

I'm a little late to the party. I bought the lifetime license from an earlier link that had it at $40.

My question is, is the tremolo/pulsating nature of the chords (sort of sounds like a helicopter) on most of the music a side-effect to the AI generated sounds, or is this by-design? If by-design, are there settings I could tinker with? If not, feature request. :)

I'm starting to find this a bit unnerving after extended periods, but it could be a personal preference.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Only some of the tracks have this. It's by design.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Previously I was cleaning cookies / local storage (to have more free sessions). Then I downloaded MP3 and created playlists. At $29 I have no other option but to buy it... HURRAY! . . . . brain.fm is like matrix, I admit!

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Extremely cool of you to do this. Discovered the service yesterday, tried it, was amazed (hopefully not placebo) and today signed up (lifetime deal).

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Is it possible to have a similar deal again since from the comments seems there are a lot of developers interesting in your service ? Thanks!

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
When is an Android app coming?

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Clicked it, tried it, impulse bought. Seems worth it so far :)

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Assuming theres no Android app?

Any ETA?

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
I think you can still run it in the browser. Not quite the same, I know (the iOS app is nice), but I think it might do for now.

[S7E5] The Hot Tub
Awesome. Subscribed!
