More information to follow as it is late - but Crystal Clouds has opened it's standard level of account to allow practically unlimited downloads.
This is a thank you to all of our loyal fans since we started in 2003 and to allow newer users to download archives before they go offline.
For all those who have gone above and beyond to support us - thank you very much. We have loved every moment of it.
We aren't going anywhere as such, but the format of Crystal Clouds - including self hosting of the mixes - will last only until 1st of February March 2020.
: (
that means DJs no longer uploading their mixes to CC.com ?
We have enough funding for the remainder of December and January, possibly February as well.
i thought the monthly running costs had/have been met. regardless, i just added donated a few $$ towards the cause, so i hope this helps.CC has been an integral part of my life & has enhanced my Quality of Life for more than a decade, so i shudder to think it could “go silent”. please no…thank you CC for bringing us the best music in the worldAD4E/FLsteve
Hi Steve, I appreciate your kind comments and agree with you. I’ve been doing this since 2003, so to stop will be a big hole for me! Realistically we only need 10 people out of the hundreds who download daily to donate $10 / month. I feel that certain users including yourself have often paid way over this, which we are eternally grateful for… but it isn’t really fair in the grand scheme of things. Since the original request, we had a good number of people donate… but not like previous times where we ended up with 2 or 3… Read more »
Latecomer to this thread – I pay $10 every 3 / 4 months (really should do so more often) but I never seem to show up on the donators list. Am I ‘anon’ or is something not working right?
Just updated the page and see your reply ‘below’. Thanks – and thanks for the wonderful site. I hope you can find a way of keeping it running ($5/month regular subs if need-be; I would hope that you would get at least 40 or 50 regulars at that rate – and maybe very limited downloads for those who choose not to subscribe).
understood & i agree. as i don’t want to subscribe at this time, I will make a point to donate more often (monthly). thank you!
Thanks AD4E.

That is correct, but the system often doesn’t send you user ID through, so if your email here doesn’t match with PayPal it becomes hard to trace it back.
Wow things are ceratinly changing, im not realy active on this site anymore,mainly through ill health & retirement, i have to be honest & stick my hand up to admit i doubt if i have donated in the last year if longer
i hope the site does stick around in some form or another
Hi Wise, i’m sorry to hear that you haven’t been well! You have contributed a large sum over the course of time and kept CC alive and kicking!
I hope your health is improving and that you get a chance to enjoy retirement! Don’t worry about us, but feel free to pop in every now and again to enjoy the tunes! 😀
I never realised my pro membership had lapsed until the other day…
Dumb question – do payments have to be in USD or is it possible to EFT good old GBP? Just trying to stop my bank rorting me for every payment it thinks is overseas via paypal, despite them having nothing to do with the transactions…
Officially our longest serving member! 🙂
Given the grave situation, I had to force remove everyone who hadn’t donated in a while. I would have left yours and a few others otherwise.
In any case – I’ve checked you account and it is showing the correct level. Are you still finding yourself limited?
All is good now, thanks 🙂 The restrictions were the only thing that got my attention reminding me this year as I’d forgotten to write the due date down, though I’m slowly getting more organised 🙂
I am sure here are still some other old members 🙂
Glad to have you aboard still! 🙂
Of course! 🙂 🙂 🙂
