SomaFM News:
Apologies: when trying to block some abusive bots, we accidentally blocked some Cambridge Audio radios. It's fixed now! 6-Nov-2026
We have discontinued our experimental HLS-lossless format Groove Salad stream (it seemed silly in that our source material isn't losslessi and was being abused by bots and streamrippers). 21-Oct-2026 [more news]
Fundraising Update as of November 15 at 9AM PST: To meet our budget, we need to raise $2,420 a day for the next 15 days. So far today we've raised $476, and for the month $20,826. We still are trying to raise $36,173 more by the end of the month.
