Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
CodeOrgan plays your website's tune, and it sounds better than you'd expect
The new theme song for DownloadSquad.com, for example, is a perfectly respectable bunch of bleeps and bloops that would probably have Lil Jon raising a chalice full of crunk juice. Microsoft.com is only about 3 seconds long, and sounds like a Windows startup sound with drums. TechCrunch.com sounds like a jam from some kind luau at the TechCrunch private island (no, Arrington doesn't really own an island. Yet.)
CodeOrgan is kind of like a horoscope: you can try to relate the music to the website it's based on, the way I just did, but there's really no connection. It's just about the site's 1s and 0s. Try out a few sites and let us know what you thought they sounded like in the comments.

Holy hell this is friggin' cool!
Listen to www.google.com. Makes it sound all "epic-y" and "grand." LOL
Then switch it to google.com (without the 'www') and it sounds like some kind of 8-bit or 16-bit video game, dark, techie, and moody.

microsoft.com and www.microsoft.com sound about the same. O.o
Wierd.
It has like a hint of the Death Star theme in it for some reason. Hahaha.

It's a different song everytime, no matter what the site is actually..

Oh yeah, that's true. Kinda makes it less awesome once you know that...

Not really. It plays same melody for plain static HTML pages.

Yeah I noticed that to. I did a few tests and noticed the notes were the same however. They just changed the tone...I guess to make it more interesting.
They should advance it and create an algorithm that links the tone and code together.
Maybe a mysterious evil tone for code that doesn't pass W3C validation :D
