    what's this? an app for Somalian Radio?

  • +3

    no, its just an american community radio network that survives on donations..
    Groove Salad is a great chillout and lounge station, been my background audio for many years.
    internode users get unmetered premium SomaFM streams too, that's how i found them

    • SomaFm don't offer premium streams. For iiNet and Internode users these stations were offered unmetered quota free. They also add a couple of nice seasonal Xmas stations which run around that time period every year.

      Covers is one of my favourite SomaFM stations.

    Very interesting musical choices here though there is a dearth (but not a complete absence) of left of field non conventional choices….to me the non conventional choices that are available are just left of field but expected.

    This is a definite grab for any music lover of the music from the 20th to 21st centuries, thanks OP.

    • You're welcome my friend 😊🍺
