Apple Homepod

The Apple Homepod now plays internet radio. You can say "Play SomaFM Groove Salad radio" and it will play. Make sure you say SomaFM first, then the channel name, then radio. (Example: "Play SomaFM Indie Pop Rocks radio", "Play SomaFM Drone Zone radio". If you don't say radio, it may try to find a song or artists name that is the closest match, not our streams.

Google Home

Unfortnately, you'll need to use TuneIn, which means we're not available in the UK until Google allows third-party apps. But "OK Google, play SomaFM Groove Salad on TuneIn" seems to work most of the time. (Play SomaFM Channel Name on TuneIn) is the most reliable way to listen.

iTunes for Windows

Apple's iTunes App for Windows will play our streams. After you install it, clicking on our MP3 or AAC links will launch iTunes playing our station.
