You left out the obligatory "Being A C--t In Your Source Code" warning:

view-source:http://www.rainymood.com/

That just makes me think "what a loser"

@sealo I love the raining.fm site, definitely a neat side project. You could just start selling white noise audio through the site for affiliate commissions, if you focus on getting people to visit the site. Or make it into a simple app with one function and sell that via the site..

Just look at the code below - do you really think you can understand it? Of course not.

Can you find all the places where it contacts outside servers to report its location? Nope.

Hey, do you know about trademarks? "Rainy Mood", "RainyMood", "RainyMood.com", and "Rain makes everything better" are trademarks of Tailored Music, Inc. That means it's against the law to impersonate us or to make products that use our trademarks.

Sorry if all that sounded snarky. But seriously, there are lots of great business ideas out there. Find something you love, and do it better than anyone ever dreamed. You can't lose with that formula! -->

My favorite part of his code is: `// This is stuck in an "eval" in an attempt to hide it from executing until later.'

If only Javascript had some way to call a function after a delay or event...

Never changed my opinion about a site this quickly.

"Just look at the code below - do you really think you can understand it? Of course not." Dick.

Pompous dick-head spotted. Besides, talk of IP is not welcome on the part of somebody who embeds infringing material on their page.

@josscrowcroft, I am definitely keen on developing the app to deliver the best rain experience possible for people :)

In my opinion rainymood is much better than this. After listening to raining.fm it became quite obvious that it's on a very short repetitive loop. Rainymood is a much longer loop and actual feels like you have your window open on a rainy day.

Another bonus point for RainyMood comes from the daily music suggestions. They even choose music from video games and anime. I've found out some great tunes from them. Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMnrl0tmd3k

Wow, the comments in the html source there really has quite the attitude.

I do agree, but they were probably written in the constant annoyance of people copying the sound file when he first started. (The site was much simpler. As I recall you could find the mp3's location listed simply in the source.) So attitude? Yes. But with that context, I get an annoyed attitude.

Internet Download Manager automatically rips the .mp3 file from RainyMood with ease.

Yes those source comments are pretty full on hahah, especially for a relaxing site, but thunders not my thing nor "Gundam Seed Destiny - Theme of Rain".

Rainymood.com is great, and definitely better.

I especially like their notice at the top of the source html.

http://simplynoise.com/ is also worth trying.

Nice, I love the oscillating brownian noise.

How about this part? "Just look at the code below - do you really think you can understand it? Of course not."

What kind of a presumptuous ass puts something like that at the top of their source? Tailored Music, Inc. does.
