It’s mostly just ambient though. No metal, punk, goth, anything of that sort probably for copyright reasons. Cool if you need something like this, but it’s not replacing any streaming service/downloading albums anytime soon.
Nice community financed radio channels. Highly recommend. They still need $12k to keep operation going this month, please support if you can :)
I actually discovered a lot of Canadian indie bands through SOMAFM. Been listening to them for nearly 20 years.
Somafm.com is fantastic. Been listening to them for 20 years, still no ads. Groove salad was my initial beat. I’m mostly on bossa now for office work ambiance, it’s great as background music to open onlinm eeetings. I know this make me sound like an old fart, because I am. They even got groove salad classic channel now… Anyway, good electronic, country, metal pop, vintage they have it all in well curated channels. Checkout secret agent or Illinois Street lounge for quirky ambiances.
I would add Radio Fip into the discussion, French, eclectic as hell, with many channels (though I pretty much only use the main one)
Seems cool at first impression! Anyone know if I could play it on my Sonos system?
Seems like you can, it’s listed on their website under Players
Oh great!
Thanks for finding that for me, will check it out!
SomaFM uses shoutcast/icecast streams, so just about any half-decent media streaming device or software can play it.
SomaFM is my fav Radio Station!
Oh yeah finally! I was dying to listened to a radio where i could find actually novel new music, thank you so much!
Wow they have a dubstep channel and judging by the last played tracks listed they are actually playing proper dubstep as well as the more commercial american style sound.
No DnB though.
Groove Salad plays constantly on all the Nest devices through my from morning to night.
Awesome. Thanks. I found a few of their electronic stations, and they’re really good.
I used to love secret agent radio
I love somafm! Been listening for a long time. Buy some stickers from them! They don’t play ads and need income.
Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time…
i love soma.fm so much! i’m still a little salty about the app. kept it on my phone for a long time for pure nostalgia after it no longer worked.
You can get the streams in the form of a playlist file.
Attach it to any subsonic player. Or probably VLC
app works fine on my iphone. is this an android thing?
Just downloaded the android app and it’s working fine for me…
huh. years ago they had an app and stopped supporting it. i still see radio omg which i haven’t liked as much, but i haven’t been using it lately either (just listen in browser).
i guess i need to look into this again!
