MusicForHackers.com was one of the greatest IDM music streaming sites that ever lived. Hundreds of hours of IDM, ambient, experimental and other electronic music, all provided commercial-free.

MfH used live365.com as their main broadcast source, and had a large listenership. Sadly, they shut down in late 2003. I’m not sure of the details, but it involved the live365 fees. live365 themselves were reqired to pay the music labels and the RIAA for each song broadcast. Ironically, most of the labels represented on MusicForHackers were not members of the RIAA.

But don’t dispair! The spirit of MusicForHackers.com lives again at IntelligentDanceMusic.com. Similar feel, HUGE music list (30 days worth of music!), streaming titles and auto-refreshing playlists so you know what song is being broadcast.

I’m very happy to find that the spirit of MfH lives on. Please check it out.
