How to listen to SomaFM
First, you'll need to make sure you have a compatible player. 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. Treo 600/650 users can use Pocket Tunes to listen to our 32k and 56k MP3 streams. (In the future, when an "EDGE" or "EV-DO" PalmOS Treo comes out, you'll be able to play 128k streams as well).
PocketPC and WindowsMobile devices: Resco radio player now supports aacPlus streams on your Pocket PC device. You'll get excellent audio quality and reliable streaming on most major wireless networks!
