Well the Hypnotoad is really annoying, but the rain and cats meows are quite nice. I was so glad when I found the VOLUME CONTROL for these under preferences - set the Hypnotoad to zero!

Because accidents happen. Also after I installed it on Ubuntu 11.10 (which uses a "Mac" type panel at the top with application menu) I couldn't find how to turn it off, which made Clementine unusable for me until I could figure out where it was. I found the volume setting first.

My kittens don't work.

Rain is the shiznit... there are a TON of songs that rain is a fantabulous complement to.  For a lot of them I would go to youtube, and find a good rain sequence and play it in the background while listening to music... now I don't have to.

Well..
You are very correctly wondering...
I recommended clementine to a not so  tech-savvy fellow , and it was completely horrifying when clementine
would start on win 7  and the " All glory to the hypnotoad "
noise started playing ( at a pool bar!)  and they did not know how  to stop it.
Actually I turned it off  a couple of times , but each time you
would start clementine it would go on again...
Somehow it stopped...
I suppose it is a sabotage from clementine's creators to their work..

I'm pretty sure it refers to Star Trek - The Next Generation. "Make it so" is one of the catchphrases of Captain Picard (played by Patrick Stewart), and it is the ambient noise of the ship's engine

I know it's really late for this answer but I took a fast look at the git source code of clementine and found this

const char* BackgroundStreams::kHypnotoadUrl = "hypnotoad:///";
const char* BackgroundStreams::kRainUrl =
    "http://data.clementine-player.org/rainymood";
const char* BackgroundStreams::kEnterpriseUrl = "enterprise:///";

and

AddStream(QT_TR_NOOP("Make it so!"), QUrl(kEnterpriseUrl));

which confirm what Péter Lőrincz was saying (2 years ago).

Btw, you can listen to the rain on the rain's url.

I love this extras, I sometimes use "All glory to hypnotoad" to get concentrated at my office. Before I was using white or brown noise.
What I wonder is what kind of sound is hypnotoad thing. I remember something similar called alpha and beta signals...
Do anyone know what really this is, how is generated?
