How to listen to SomaFM

If you already have iTunes, Winamp, Windows Media Player or another compatible stream player installed, just pick a station to listen to from our front page or the list below.

Our highest quality streams are 128k MP3 streams; followed by our aacPlus streams, and then the Windows Media streams.

We have a new Orban aacPlus plugin available for Windows Media Player, it's a quick install and then you can listen to our excellent sounding aacPlus feeds right in your Windows Media player!

If you are listening at work and find that you can't access our MP3 streams (some corporations block streaming MP3 radio), please try our Windows Media streams as most corporate firewalls don't restrict them.

Get a Player

iTunes is a great MP3 player for both Mac and Windows. Winamp for Windows plays both aacPlus and MP3 streams. VLC is an open source player that supports MP3 and aacPlus streams for Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, Linux and WinCE / PocketPC.

Don't forget, SomaFM is available on many mobile devices, including iPhone, Palm, Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices. Find out how to listen to SomaFM on your mobile device and take SomaFM with you everywhere.
