    I love somafm! Been listening for a long time. Buy some stickers from them! They don’t play ads and need income.

    Awesome. Thanks. I found a few of their electronic stations, and they’re really good.

    Wow they have a dubstep channel and judging by the last played tracks listed they are actually playing proper dubstep as well as the more commercial american style sound.

    No DnB though.

    I would add Radio Fip into the discussion, French, eclectic as hell, with many channels (though I pretty much only use the main one)

    Nice community financed radio channels. Highly recommend. They still need $12k to keep operation going this month, please support if you can :)

    Somafm.com is fantastic. Been listening to them for 20 years, still no ads. Groove salad was my initial beat. I’m mostly on bossa now for office work ambiance, it’s great as background music to open onlinm eeetings. I know this make me sound like an old fart, because I am. They even got groove salad classic channel now… Anyway, good electronic, country, metal pop, vintage they have it all in well curated channels. Checkout secret agent or Illinois Street lounge for quirky ambiances.

    For a simple distraction-free control via Linux’s command line, you can install mpg123 and add the following script files to /usr/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/:

    /usr/local/bin/soma:

    #! /usr/bin/bash
    kill $(pgrep mpg123)
    mpg123 -@ http://somafm.com/nossl/$1.pls
    

    /usr/local/bin/somaoff:

    #! /usr/bin/bash
    kill $(pgrep mpg123)
    

    Make them executable for everyone by running sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/soma /usr/local/bin/somaoff.

    You can now run from your console (or from KRunner on KDE, or via :sh from within helix):

    # Tune into station "Lush"
    soma lush 
    # Turn Soma off
    somaoff
    

    Works fine from a tty as well, even with bluetooth on my OpenSUSE at least.

    The specific station names to enter after soma are the ones in the URL of each station’s webpage, e.g. “folkfwd” for Folk Forward, as its URL is https://somafm.com/folkfwd/.
