This will make front page solely on favourite.

744music

I can't endorse bandcamp enough. I put some stuff up there too (744music.bandcamp.com). liveplasma looks neat but they're a bit slammed now.

Favorited for....... right now I guess, I'm bored.

notyouraveragedonut

Ah yes, Imgur has crashed the site......favorite for later.

MM83

Here's a cool sketch one - http://mrdoob.com/projects/harmony/

yerglion

thank you so much I absolutely adore this now

terroratthemasquerade

Whenever I type in my favorite band to those music similarity sites, they always come back like "Um, what? We've got nothing, sorry."

DrLaff

Music make you lose control.

londonhearts

Intersting

LiterallyYourMom

Am I the only one who noticed "Asians" is by far the biggest word in Wallbase's tag cloud?

EVERYTHINGITYPEISINCAPS

haha, nope!

awwwyissbreadcrumbs

I did too!

Cassiraa

Don't forget about www.Zombo.com!

ILoveCuteAnimalsAndStuff

i dont get it

yoGhurrt1

Because everything is possible in www.Zombo.com!

ScarlettAssassin

Great post, OP. I have a few new bookmarks now.

valeriesghost

I drew this on that one site just for you, IMGUR: http://r.weavesilk.com/?v=4&id=uqqobcrv23

Your persona isn't funny.

Desufire

I spy Hitagi and Lemon in that 3rd wallpaper

Annerly

Thank you, internet god.

vkmi

Pulsate is great. Wow.

FrozenSweetenedBovineSecretions

i cant hear anything, my sound is maxed etc.

punkisdad

You have to make it so the circles touch each other

hm ok thanks.

jackdwolfwood

So much fun. I want to see what people make with it.

Anotherlevel34

Try the other ones.

JadenFuckingSmith

liveplasm is incredible

jippsee

I can't be the only one who saw liver plasma

guzzball

I don't get it. I put in an artist and it just gives me a link to their albums on Amazon. How do I find other artists with it?

TheKenoshaKid

yeah, i'm having the same issue.

Toothfairypowa

I prefer this one, www.music-map.com it's basically the same concept :)

FirstThingsFirstImAnArtist

Thank you OP for the quiet place project link! I wish I would have known about this before. Better late then never. :)

nqabl

I spend way too much time on Bandcamp.

garthol

I love browsing music there, despite how most of the good stuff is pricey.

There's a lot of good free stuff, too. My wallet cringes whenever I come across a great music label there, though.

In near future, because of new Soundcloud policy, you'll gonna spend even more time in there.

iamgrr

What do you mean?

Yup. Sad times ahead, friends.

Actually, maybe not. Because this site is a service and every service has a market for it.When site is going down (in some point it will)(1)

then other sties gonna have a chance to encourage users to their service - like here, Bandcamp, Mixcloud or even maybe some new site (2)

DigitalBlank

favorite for Hitagi in wallbase

eibbor82

There's also Steins;Gate, Madoka, and KIll la Kill in there

As well as AnoNatsu

Monogatari Series being my favorite thing of all time, caught my eye first and exclusively.

Caught my eye immediately as well, I only saw the others because I searched

IncrediblyRude

Did we crash soundrown?

tarataqa

yep

FindaBalance

purplecracka

I think so. I tried it just now and it was lagging horribly and bugging out. So either my stuffs outta date or we crashed the site lol

Damn we're good at this

BorderlineBoozehound

If so, http://rainymood.com works well too.

EibhleannSnowden

So does http://mynoise.net

ohmygodtheykilledkenny

Yes, Yes we did :/

bulpii

liveplasma too I think, it won't work for me

naksfallafrombush

I think we crashed em all

doughnutty

gormtheoldthesleepyofdenmark

Sorry I missed that week. http://r.weavesilk.com/?v=4&id=vaun6ppheq

itdoesntmatternoneofthismatters

Yeah I thought that we collectively decided to hate weavesilk

Trafficlights

Yes.. goddammit everyone drew goddamn flowers or hearts

how did you record like that?

MegaMasterX

You clever person!

PiratedVhsTapes

Wallbase has been dead for months now because the owner abandoned it and won't return emails or opensource it. shame

PTrui

Some users from wallbase started http://wallgig.net/ .

Flipdark95

It's on wallbase.cc now.

fizzbuzz

Shame. That's my primary source of WP. :(

dwimmerlaik

there is a different site now. wallhaven.cc

PaigeTrail

Honestly when it comes to something like that I wonder if they died or something...

TuMadre

like Cagg...

TheGenitalTornado

Are we sure he died or just you know, found love?

ostiniatoze

who's cagg?

A former Imgurian/redditer. His last comment was about a girl said yes to a date and he will update us on how it went. That was 2 years ago.

Kalabatos

this! I loved that site

GaiusOrpheus

4walled.cc just a database of all wallpapers from different forums such as 4chans /wg/

n0tlikethis

Been using 4walled for years now

If it weren't for all the desktop screenshots, it would be perfect.

Caiteyblaze

Meh I have been trying to remember the name of this site for weeks :(

ninmonkey

Guess we have to use the SFW porn subs, or /r/wallpaper[s]

HansZimmerframe

I checked yesterday, still running...

skcfc

So if someone were to attempt to make a website just as good as it, what sort of things would have to be there to make it as good?

user uploading and a copyright system encase images/art is stolen and uploaded without permission.

That's it? Sites like deviantart and behance offer stuff like that I think.

well it isn't just that. interface/UI is nice and the user profiles with collections and whatnot was good.

still viewable yes, but can't upload anything.

It woks but now no one is able to upload new wallpapers and I can't access the forums.

boonimajneB

Yep, including a few other features dying, I've noticed. Like, we cannot flag wallpapers now, too. It's good but ain't what it used to be

GenericAdjectiveNoun

the app still works

.....once again, still viewable but not for uploading for new wallpapers.

eronth

dead how? I just went there and it looks like it's still doing it's thing.

can't upload and no new wallpapers are being added... they're just randomized.

VostokTheROBOT

Maybe it's because assholes like OP use AdBlock and he can't pay for the site.

JustAnotherMeh

If you can't afford to maintain a website don't fucking start one.

do you want to have to pay to join web sites?

I would much rather pay than view ads. Since that is not an option I'll just use AdBlock.

ok, every site is fee based at $15/mo what are the ONLY sites you can now visit and total cost based on your history.

quade

m.runpee.com is seriously the greatest thing that I will learn about on the Internet today. I think I can pack up early and go outside now.

pieleg

That's a radical statement. It has put me off checking out this site.

madmadders

I think it's brilliant that they made the background black so it's not bright if someone looks at it during a movie.

idownvoteplottwist

That or the site was designed by Maddox.

+1 just for referencing the best page in the universe.

TheStickyWicket

I didn't see the potential for theater movies at first and thought, "Or you could just... pause the movie?" I'm not a smart woman.

You can't be that not-smart. That was my first thought, too. Then I realized these are all currently playing movies and I facepalmed myself.

shirtlessteo

there's an app, I forget if it costs anything though

nightaccio129

I think it does but it has some extra features like a little timer to tell you when it's time to go and stuff.

JessThe2ndBestt

That is genius!

smuemoo

You're on the money. I have the app and love it. It also tells you what's happening when you leave.

ForTheUPVOTE

What's it called!

DDPB9k5G

"run pee." the website links to it prominently on the front page. httpm/iphone">http:">://runpe">m/iphone">http://runpee.com/iphone http://runpee.com/play http://runpee.com/windows

l8rz

That soundrown is brilliant. I have trouble sleeping in silence, this is going to help immensely, Thank you OP.

fractald

http://www.noisli.com/ is another good one of these that's been around a while.

QuietLittleLeaf

If you have an android look up Ambio. They have an amazing array of sounds and mixes with a sleep timer.Best app to sleep to I've ever found

Abbeel

I know there are some great ones here already. But try this. http://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/whiteNoiseGenerator.php

vivier

They have white noise, just too bad they don't have the brown one too.

Mynameiscatandilikedogs

So if your phone is dead you can't sleep?

TheLivinLegend

It's nice. I have tinnitus. I have to sleep with the fan on.

aviatorzz

On soundrown I like to mix the coffee shop with a little rain, its like being in Seattle :)

AcadianBacon

I prefer this for rain. :D - http://www.rainymood.com/

Unfortunately it wasn't working for me, had trouble loading and the rain sound was cutting out, sounded like someone frying up bacon.

MaxxiDotPad

I think Imgur has overloaded it a titch.

True, that's probably why. I just thought of that. :D

astamurti

I just have a station on Pandora specifically for that.

CountessVonFingerbang

YES. I'm a writer and I listen to these on loop all the time to drown out obnoxious office-mates.

IAmNicolasCage

I favorited this when it was on the front page way back and I still use it on a regular basis!

hansmolemann

You can also download a free app called Sound M, which does the same thing with more options :)

swozey

www.mynoise.net is a thousand times better

pretzelbetzel

I have an app on ios called Rain, Rain that's free and works pretty well. It also has a sleep timer which I love.

codenametrixie

You can play several at once.

lrodhubbard

The loops are maddeningly short. I turned on "night" and heard an owl hooting every 5 seconds. I'll stick with Rainymood til this improves.

youveseenmydownstairsmixup

Rainy mood is the shit! Except when I wake up & it's still on, scares me every time.

WitHappens

Shameless promotion. If you like white noise sites, check out one of my spare time projects, www.sleepsites.com.

fluder

sounddrown is sounddown

Im glad you liked it! :)

NIC0LANGEL0

TheFinalDoctor

All I can say is that this post had better not start another silk trend...and Favorited for the backgrounds page

littlespacebased

needs more sounds.

cheersxochi

There's a free app called Omvana that works wonders as well.

HelpfulCorn

TURN DOWN FOR WHAT?

HaveAnAmazingDay

You should try MyNoise, has tons of different and lots of abstract noise profiles that can evolve over time while you're listening and more.

haikon

simply noise is also a fantastic white/pink/brown noise site f you're looking for that sorta thing.

Supermutantvirus

I am in Italy atm but if you reply after Friday I will share what helps me a lot (brainwaves)

evesfruits

Try the Relax Melodies:Sleep&Yoga app - it's amazing!

SirSquish

It was a bit strange mixing train, rain, waves and birds. It was even more odd having a playround in the uber train.

Prosecutrixxx

Somebody else posted it, but seriously use Ambio. There are lots of different sounds available with a high level of customization (1)

and you can set a sleep timer for it to turn itself off. 10/10 recommend. (2/2)

Magnivore

The site is not working for me for some reason.

petchlonk

same here ;-;

ALiteralResponse

It can take a long time to load.

GuffTrumpets

I think we killed it

Beanieb

I think so too... boo

ORGANICGUY

Yeah its all white and all the buttons are on the left side of my screen...

ikr

KingGambitB

Try Bob Ross' Joy of Painting. That man's voice soothing as hell.

ScruffyLookinScoundrel

If you like Bob Ross, you might like ASMR - search it up on Youtube.

Science hasn't explained why, but there are many MANY people who experience it. I do, and I have some theories as to why it happens, but IDK

Well the many thousands of people who experience it would attest to it's existence...
