RockRaptor, a free music streaming directory I'm working on

[bramdebouvere]

What advantages does this have over already existing apps/sites? i.e Spotify? Other than yours having all songs on one

It's free to use and it doesn't have any annoying audio ads. It's also a lot faster than for example the Spotify web player.

Because RockRaptor streams from different platforms, it can also contain music that isn't available on Spotify. Although this is somewhat limited right now (and sometimes things go the other way around), more streaming platforms will be added in the future, making this an important feature.

Of course, the website is currently still in alpha, and lacks a lot of features that commercial streaming platforms tend to have. But I'm working hard on it.

I would never pay for spotify if I knew of this site. I mean, I have my own sources of music, but if I didn't, I'd of chosen this site over spotify. Just because paying is a hassle.

Nice idea and nice implementation. I like seeing the usage of .NET and TypeScript in the web area, good job :)

True. .NET reaches the same speed as PHP but could be also faster, is much more secure and offers more features. Well, playing games on Windows with high detailed graphics is only possible because of Microsofts DirectX (OpenGL sucks for commercial usage), is Microsoft really that crappy? :P. Maybe you look at Erlang, if you search for some native high scalability language. RockRaptor is awesome, keep up the good work!

Tell me about it, maybe I can integrate it into RockRaptor?

By means of "own sources of music" it's probably just torrents.

Never mind then, I'm trying to keep it legal :p

I use Youtube, Vkontakte.ru and mp3skulls.top to get my music. Spotify is overrated and would never even consider using it.

Two thinks I immediatly noticed is that you can't 'play now' or 'play next' a song when you have a queue

Changed the buttons too now :) Now you have the option to play now, add it to the end of the queue or play as next song
