This is such a great music service but I'm wondering who is behind it and why they provide it? It must be costing them something to host the site. Interesting that Cloudflare stats show its biggest user base is India.

I was thinking of the cost of hosting the site rather than paying for the media. Thanks thoigh for the comment about checking the stream source.
