New (2019) Android App beta

You can try out our newest (27-Jan-2020) beta release here. This has most of the features implemented, and is stable on new Android OS releases. As always, if it has issues, let us know you phone model and Android version, and we'll investigate.

If that has issues on your phone, download our previous beta release here which has a less-efficient, but possibly more compatible streaming engine. This does not have all the current features but is stable on most new Android OS releases.

UNSUPPORTED OLDER ANDROID APP

We no longer distribute or able to support our original Android app and it is no longer compatible with Android 8 and later. We recommend the TuneIN app as a replacement as it is the most compatible on the most devices.

• TuneIn Free (Pre-roll ads and banners, SomaFM gets a share of the ad revenue)
• TuneIn Pro ($9.95) and has no ads.
• TuneIn Android Help and Knowledgebase

Android Alternatives

• Alpha+ Player (developed with permission of SomaFM)
• SFM Unofficial SomaFM Player (we have no relationship with this developer)
• Internet Radio Player is a popular general purpose receiving app.

You should be able to load the M3U file of all our channels in most apps from this link:

• https://somafm.com/all.m3u

Links for all the individual channels in various formats are listed under the "Direct Strem Links" tab (left side) of the pages for each channel.
