Rainwave is a streaming internet radio station that specializes in video game music. Logged in listeners may request and rate songs and actually vote for the next tune, which is a feature that sets Rainwave apart from other video game radio stations. The idea for Rainwave came to McAuley eight or nine years ago, back when a similar station called GamingFM was popular. McAuley spent some time combing through the website, trying to figure out what made it tick. He was annoyed that he had no idea when his song request would come on the air, and thought users should be able to pick what came next. He started working on Rainwave, and opened it to the public in 2007.
