I see that it pulls in videos from YouTube, inc Vevo channels. These channels normally have ads on them. How does LOR hide those ads / do that legally?
Joe Foulds
Hey @cbenkendorf - sorry for the delayed response on this, somehow the notification passed me by. ListenOnRepeat does not remove ads from YouTube content sources. This allows content owners to monetize their content through our platform, and is how we are able to operate legally

Hey @jfoulds, I'm a listener :D. Just curious, how do you make money ?
Joe Foulds
Hey @roberthopman - great to meet you! We monetize via some banner advertisements on the site - but a big thing for us is that we never serve video or audio adverts. Nothing should interrupt your music experience! Similarly though, if you'd like to Adblock, that's fine with us. We understand and completely get that some people object to advertising tracking. In an ideal world, you'd whitelist us, but we'd prefer you chose to do that of your own volition, so we actually have on-site code which detects adblocks and *cleans up* the UI to remove the ad elements entirely if we detect an adblocker (adblockers actually do a pretty bad job chopping up the UI sometimes) - we'd prefer you have a great user experience even if you're blocking ads after all! =)

and long term, what's the plan with making money? I'm more interested looking at it from a business perspective :)

To give a bit more information as to the tech stack powering ListenOnRepeat in case anyone is curious, we have a Typescript+React frontend, hooked into a thin(ish) Django layer piping commands to a Golang backend and microservice architecture, DynamoDB data storage with Redis caching via Elasticache (whole infrastructure is hosted on AWS via Elastic Beanstalk and EC2)!

@jfoulds Hi. I'm curious how you're dealing with rights management with labels and rights-owners without charging money.
Joe Foulds
Hey @ajsharp, we're powered by the YouTube content library which permits developers to embed YouTube media from legitimate labels and rights owners. We are fully DMCA compliant to ensure that we only use legitimate content on our platform, and artists are able to control how their media is displayed on ListenOnRepeat using the YouTube management system for their content library.

I would like to know how they will handle those error messages.

I got the error, with the song: "Jeff Mills - The Bells"

Error: The video owner has disabled their playback on other websites.

Pros:

I am a web programmer and I see that the site has an excellent structure, both back-end and front-end.

Cons:

Shows an error in videos that are not configured to be viewed outside the YouTube platform.

This is awesome! Any plans for an Alexa skill sometime in the future?
Joe Foulds
@chankins Oooh, cool idea! Thanks for the kind words. Will have to check into Alexa development and get back to you =)

Can I make a channel? —Asks the Narcissistic Designer (I’ll call it “The Narcissistic Designer”) 🌞

Hey @pixelmelter - sorry for the delayed response on this, somehow the notification passed me by. We'll be adding the capability for user and content curator owned streams in Q4 2017 so I'll let you know!

I really like how the features make ListenOnRepeat more than just a YouTube video repeating site. You can heart songs and make playlists, listen to curated streams, as well as chat with other users from around the world. Plus there are more features to come, which will make ListenOnRepeat all the more awesome!

Pros:

Great music streaming site with various amazing features!

Cons:

Some performance concerns here and there, but I do understand that this is a site in constant progress. Also a mobile app would be nice.

Hey Joe! I've been using ListenOnRepeat for years now, and it's amazing to witness first-hand how this site has grown! All these amazing features let users like me enjoy our music more than just repeating it to our heart's content. The live streams in your site also let me discover new music from genres I never even knew existed. My personal favorite is the Electro Swinging stream! ;D Anyways, are there any upcoming features that would let users like me curate and share our music with others? Also, some of my music is not available on YouTube but on SoundCloud, so SoundCloud integration would be really swell. Thanks to you and your team on developing this wonderful website! Stay awesome! =D

The site is perfect for replaying songs on the long term and it has a good overview on the repeats. The divided Hearted and History tab make it good to see all the songs and the streams are super for exploring new songs.

Pros:

Great music service for replaying songs and a platform to meet new people and make friends

Cons:

The mobile app isnt there anymore and I love to see it back and some more user possibilities such as reviews, user streams etc.

calcium but spooky

It does exactly what it's meant to do and more. It's core idea is to repeat YouTube videos on loop, but it's addition of playlists, streams, specific-time stamps and even a neat chat function makes it a swiss army knife of a website.

Pros:

Perfectly streams, repeats, shuffles videos and more.

Cons:

Minor site glitches that come together and make the site seem very slow and "floaty."

I think the main reason why I began using ListenOnRepeat again is because of the chatbox and the well-functioning site. If I'm correct, the chatbox was added sometime in Aug. 2017 and so far it's been functioning nicely. Because of it, I have made some pretty good friends and come across interesting people from all around the globe. As of yet, I've tried the Metal stream and the 70s Rock stream and they seem to be working pretty fine.

Pros:

The chatbox, at times, can be useful, nice for listening to a certain song or album on repeat

Cons:

Performance errors, no (nicely working) mobile app

Have been using listenonrepeat to loop YouTube videos for quite a while (before discovering native YouTube repeat option), good to see you guys bringing in more stuff :)
Joe Foulds
Hey @imalchenko! We are lucky enough to have quite a loyal userbase from that functionality, we're trying to grow the site by introducing new music discovery and curation features now to ensure we remain relevant. Check out the streams and let me know what you think :)
Igor Malchenko
@jfoulds already did, seems like this is my next go-to site to put background music on. Wish you luck guys!
