I was ecstatic when I discovered that SomaFM was still running after having lost it for a few years after Winamp stopped doing their stream server thing. Keep the good times rolling, please please please! :) -- Cody

I love SomaFM since 2004 in my student years. My favorite stations are "indie pop rocks" and "lush". There are so many songs I can sing along. Thank you for your great music selection!! I don't like the music from commercial radio but when I listen to SomaFM and my daughter come in she recognizes some songs she also knows (current songs). I'm happy that we love some same songs. I wish you all the best - please stay on air!! -- Susann from Heligoland

That attack is happening via all sorts of services- invites/declines, mailing list signups, etc.

wasn’t dissing them. They were ahead of their time. Spectacle is a good thing

Milli Vanilli rolling over in their graves* while watching some of the acts at Coachella...
* yes they're not dead yet, just a euphemism.

Network issues on the "internet backbone" are interfering with our streams for some listeners in Europe, Canada and the East Coast of the US. It started around 5pm Pacific time, and is ongoing. We are working with our bandwidth providers to get the issue resolved, and moved most of our traffic to servers that are on a different backbone in the mean time.

It’s actually raining in SF right now.

That feeling when you send 900 people a fundraising message that says:
"We’re aiming to raise ,000 by the end of May" because of a typo :(

We've changed our Web Player and Song History / Top Artists pages to now do a web search for the song/artist rather than default to Amazon.

Thanks for the folks who tracked this down on HN and pressured the guy remove our streams and embed public SoundCloud tracks instead!

A tech bro decided to "launch" a product using our streams without so much as talking to us or getting our permission. Costing us real $$ in royalties, taking credit for the audio from our streams.
I guess the AI companies have normalized this kind of behavior.

You may get momentarily kicked off a stream as we do some security updates today. Some clients will reconnect automatically, others you may need to hit stop and play again to reconnect.

Good thing we don't have investors or shareholders. That way, we can focus on what's good for our listeners and humanity rather than what benefits our shareholders.

Just a reminder, if you haven't donated this year, we're still hoping you will. We are entirely supported by our listener's donations.

Thank you for making SomaFM possible for almost 25 years now!

In todays email:
2 nice people (and supporters) sent holiday wishes and thanks.
One person angry there are sounds in our Mission Control channel that wake him up when he's sleeping (not a supporter)
Another person wants us to "update" our channel logos with "fresh, new AI images" (also not a supporter)
Just another day with the inbox :)

2024-12-02 21:21:10 UTC

We have 5 (FIVE!!!) Holiday & Christmas channels this year again. You can find them all here:

"I listen SomaFM for about 15 years. I mostly listen groove salad, deep space one and drone zone. This great selection of music accompanies me through a great life and I can never imagine living without it. Thank You" - Znojmo, Czech Republic
