I am sure a lot of us Lemmings have known about SomaFM forever. But i always like to show new people !

I love SomaFM! Been listening since the early days. My favorite channels: Groove Salad Classic, DefCon, Vaporwaves, Department Store Christmas (during the holidays).
Groove salad is home base
Always updoot SomaFM.
Cliqhop, Suburbs of Goa, Groove Salad, and Drone Zone really expanded my exposure to genres like ambient, drone, lounge, neo soul, world beats, and electronic. I feel I became a more well-rounded enjoyer of music because of this station, and it deserves all the attention and donations it can get.
Installed the app, listened all day at work! Totes great
I looked at several of their stations and didn’t recognize a single artist. I’m all for discovery, but I gotta know at least SOME of what I listen to.
Be fearless and jump in!
Secret Agent is one of the oldest channels and the most accessible. Start with that one, let it run in the background as you’re working or just hanging out - I guarantee you’ll hear something you like.
Nah just start listening. Its good for your brain!
Thanks for reminding me
They are on Mastodon https://sfba.social/@somafm

Love soma fm! Got the T-shirts and listening to Drone Zone now
Relevant https://hbr1.com/. Don’t forget to sign their guestbook.
In a similar vein, two other listener-supported commercial-free sites that I listen to are Radio Paradise and JEMP. (Although you’ll have to really really like Phish to like JEMP.)
I’ve been listening pretty much exclusively to radio paradise for over two decades. I love it. I thank the OP for reminding me about soma too.
I thought that was a joke then I opened it and saw phish basically every six songs. Hell yeah if you love phish
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this! Thanks for posting!!
I love coding to groove salad.
Groove Salad is my absolute favorite to get in the zone and work. Very few vocals, which I prefer as hearing vocals and trying to read is annoying for me.
Been a while since I last listened to SomaFM, they have a couple of good channels for sure.
I’m one of today’s 10000. Thanks OP. This is excellent! I wish they had an app on fdroid. Still fantastic!
Most media players I’ve used will play their shoutcast streams.
Excellent. Thanks!
You can play it with vlc media player
I should have known. lol. Thank you.
they should! the browser version works fine though
Their site says they still need to raise 11 grand for this month, so I assume they are cash/maintainer poor. Like you said, still a great site! Thanks again. :)
