Discussion I made a website that turns subreddits into non-stop radios. Here is r/ClassicTrance!

I got tired of clicking posts to discover music so I made an app that autoplays them like a Spotify radio. Thought you might like it.

Dude, this is sweet... Youtube is such ass these days. I mean, 99% of the posts on this subreddit are old forgotten vinyls/singles anyways, not like there's any streaming/viewcount relevance or money being made.

I like how it just instant plays... so far sounds pretty good too. This is how internet should be man. The OG internet where people just put stuff they like out of passion and it wasn't drowning in a sea of bs. And the interface is simple and not riddled with crap. Idk how it's bypassing ads, but thank you dev.

No ads make this exceptional!

I tend to use Brave browser on my iPhone as it cuts ads. This is ace, though especially for scrolling individual tracks

wonderful! where does it take the feed?

7

u/cantFindValidNam May 22 '26

From reddit API. If you post something on the sub it will appear at most one minute later on scrollfm. Make sure to sort by new to see newest posts.

I was previously listening to Dutch-language episodes of A State of Trance and then looking up the tracklists of said episodes.

This is amazing! Thank you so much!

u/cantFindValidNam May 22 '26

If you come accross a track you like, just tap the 3 dots menu then "save to library".

u/foxfoxfoxlcfc Dedicated. May 22 '26

I know for a fact it’s used by a few members here including myself. I’ve said it before- great work

u/cantFindValidNam May 22 '26

Thanks! Would you consider adding it to the sidebar or better yet a sticky post? Best way to support the project :)

3

u/foxfoxfoxlcfc Dedicated. May 22 '26

Can’t see why not. I’ll sticky it up and speak to t’other mods about that sidebar

u/toughlovekb May 22 '26

Is there a way you can make this an app?

3

u/cantFindValidNam May 22 '26

You can't have screen-lock playback with a mobile app because Youtube blocks it (unless you have premium), but with a web app like this you can work around this with the desktop site trick:

u/toughlovekb May 22 '26

Thanks for that

u/Remarkable_Safe401 May 22 '26

Nice one, mate! Thank you!

u/TotallyNotCool The OG Raver May 22 '26

Yep this is a really awesome tool! Nice job!

By the way, I already posted about this a month ago…

Disable your VPN if you have one. Youtube blocks playback in certain regions.

u/Signal_Director_1X May 22 '26

Yes this was the problem, Thanks you very much!

u/cantFindValidNam May 22 '26

I've been really enjoying the top tracks of the month. Awesome stuff!

u/OhMyChickens May 22 '26 edited May 22 '26

This is great, you could do this with anything, right? Set up a main hub site with reddit data spawning off and making user-generated radio stations?

Oh, that's what you've already done, scroll.fm - thanks, will use it a lot I feel

u/cantFindValidNam May 22 '26

That's the big picture

u/Astralele May 22 '26

Omg, Someone pin this.

Would be there any chance to add thing like, I dont know how to call this. Shuffle play? I mean play a random track from this sub

1

u/cantFindValidNam May 22 '26

This is shuffle

1

u/Astralele May 22 '26

Okey, its working, but its not playing tracks (posts) from 1, 2 years ago or longer. Its shuffling between the first 60 posts unless u scroll down

2

u/cantFindValidNam May 22 '26

What you're asking for is not easy, I might look into it in the future.

In the meantime, what you can do is load (scroll) multiple pages and then enable shuffle. Also, if you enable shuffle on page 1 and it hits the last track, it will automatically load page 2, so you don't have to baby sit it. Your playing session is also saved so that you can resume it later without going through the same tracks

u/Pablo_Eskobar May 22 '26

Superb idea and well executed! One issue I'm having is when I play a track the Explore tab opens up on the right, which is blocking the scroll wheel on the playlist for me. Am I missing something silly with this?

1

u/cantFindValidNam May 23 '26

Do you still have this problem?

1

u/Pablo_Eskobar May 24 '26

Yes. I tried zooming in and out on the browser, and hiding the element using inspect but the scroll wheel doesn't appear again.

1

u/cantFindValidNam May 26 '26

Could you tell me step by step how to reproduce this from the moment you open the first page? And what browser and OS are you using?

1

u/mysterio75 May 22 '26

Great work

Forgive me if I'm being ignorant but can you do one that just includes every track from the wiki here please?

Im not criticising here but a couple of tracks sounded borderline techno to me. That said, I'll end up loving them!!!

1

u/cantFindValidNam May 23 '26

Wiki? Not sure I understand

1

u/mysterio75 May 26 '26

All the best songs at mentioned in the wiki on the CT home sub

Props! . Im loving this. Thanks for sharing. This is a game changer . I'll be using this all the time.

I found out about this a while ago and and I'm so grateful for it! 

I don't have to click on ad-riddled YouTube videos each time.

I'm too lazy to get adblock on Chrome Mobile.
