    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)

      SomaFM uses shoutcast/icecast streams, so just about any half-decent media streaming device or software can play it.

    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.

    I love somafm! Been listening for a long time. Buy some stickers from them! They don’t play ads and need income.

    Love SomaFM and have the t-shirts, magnets, stickers, etc. to prove it!

    Mostly into the DroneZone as ambient while at home or at work. Listening with noise-reducing headphones makes it even better.

      You can get the streams in the form of a playlist file.

      Attach it to any subsonic player. Or probably VLC

          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!

    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.
