Bah, the user interface and design is horrible to navigate in, which just made me sad. Try to paginate, music stops etc. If you created this, spend some more effort in user testing before sharing if you want users to have a good experience. My 2 cents.

This is a vibe-coded clone of https://keygenmusic.tk/, it seems.

Vibecoded website with poor UX. Loving that the website is both trying to be fancy by having a floating player you can drag around with a playlist, while also wiping everything if you click the wrong link. No human made this, or paid it any attention at least.

A steaming pile of webslop. Thanks Claude.

Music is cool though

I wonder if you can find a way to turn the device volume up to max to simulate the unexpected music blasting out and surprising the hell out of the user.

Based on the site and the comments, this feels like a reference to something I know nothing about!

Unable to browse because I’m on mobile but Satellite One by Purple Motion is a track to listen to! <3

This is a nice collection from the ReclusiveLemming YouTube channel [0] . The video description contains download links to the original tracker modules and an MP3 mix.

I used to listen to these modules with Xmp Mod Player [1] from F-Droid on my commute to work with my Nexus 4.

Many of the modules contain "hidden" messages that the Android app made easy to read.

From the aesthetic, this has probably been vibecoded to hell and back.

(And it looks like the files were all yoinked from https://github.com/6512345/keygenmusic)

Archive.org also has some bundles of keygen music, but you have to sift a bit through the results to find them.

This website is horrific on phone. A sane human made website with keygen music has been shared on HN a few times already.

Vibecoded slop with terrible performance.

Use https://chiptune.app.

>Preserving the digital underground's musical legacy

Yeah I'm pretty sure the people who made keygens and chiptunes would hate today's AI and LLM. This is a tribute to chiptunes and keygen music as much as putting a picture of your grandma into an AI tool to animate it would be a tribute to her.

Love the idea! Spend some time refining and thinking about the UI.

Can you add this song? "Sony Vegas 9.x Keygen Music by Kenet & Rez (Digital Insanity)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmdprbBOMT8

Seems to be Missing my favorite - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9STiQ8cCIo0 ("Unreal Super Hero 3" by Kenet & Rez)

Horribly coded site but a cool collection of music, only wish I had access to the original collection because I know without a doubt that they just downloaded those mp3s from someone else’s site.

the demoscene is about putting in lots of technical effort into programs even if it would be completely unreasonable in any real software project.

This vibe coded mess is putting in so little technical effort even though it is completely unreasonable for any piece of software associated with the demoscene.

I think maybe this is getting hugged to death. I searched for an old favorite of mine: `radix - bright eyes`, and couldn't find it, but maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

Your keygens had music? Mine only ever had viruses.

dont really get the complaints about UI

its irrelevant to enjoying the actual content which is music

sometimes the nitpickery on HN is excessive and not really of value

LLM is plaguing the internet as usual. This site is proof of what a non-technical, inexperienced person comes up with with vibe coding.

With Claude Code in less than 5 minutes, I can come up with something 10x better, at least usable, with basic UX knowledge and flow basics.

Sorry if I offended the author, but he/she can learn from these comments.

ORiON Nero 6.6 was my shit. Please give it a spin.

There were definitely many keygens I would open just to have on in the background.

This is the shittest website I have ever seen in my life.

Fine, I'll listen to Bear Necessities on loop until the football starts.

Ah there it is: https://keygenmusic.tk/#track=Razor1911/Razor1911%20-%20Comm...

It's so cool to see that some of these groups are still making incredible pieces of digital art as recently as this year!

This Razor1911 career retrospective demo from Revision was pretty impressive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AnbYNudAyM

<starts browsing the groups section...> "Founded: 2002.... Founded: 2007..."

huh? Preserving groups that 'shaped the scene' would make me think late 80s and early 90s! c'mon now

https://www.scene.org/ is the way to go, no?

..Suppose that's not going to include hacking groups, but still.

Not that I've looked into it much, but a thought just occurred to me. Why don't we use AI to generate lofi samples for tracker music? Why aren't there trackers with that feature bolted on? I should be able to search for bespoke and unique sounds out of thin air.

Surely that should be a very modest goal to achieve?

(re: downvotes... I say "AI" as a synthesis method, not as a way to interfere with the creative process, but I guess I have to resign myself to the fact many downvoters might be ignorant of how these musical sausages are usually made)
