In the United States' listing Soma FM Groove Salad 320K AAC HLS Surround lands at 232 of 1,481, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.
Only two entries in the United States put groove first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.
At 326 kbps, Soma FM Groove Salad 320K AAC HLS Surround streams at more than double the United States' median of 128 kbps. That is a deliberate choice by whoever runs it: bandwidth is the recurring cost of an internet station, and a rate this far above the local norm is money spent on sounding better than the dial around it.
This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.
The stream is served from hls.somafm.com, an address two other entries in the United States use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
The nearest thing to this entry in United States is Mellow Rock. They are not the same station, and these are the facts the catalogue holds that tell them apart. This entry is named for a number, three hundred and twenty, and the other is not. This entry records San Francisco CA as the region it transmits from, and the other records no region at all. The two streams are served from different addresses, hls.somafm.com for this one and la2.indexcom.com for the other. This one is encoded as AAC and that one as MP4, which is a difference a browser can hear about before you can. The broadcaster tagged this entry groove, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the mellow and rock tags and this one does not.

Soma FM Groove Salad 320K AAC HLS Surround is one of 3,967 playable stations the catalogue lists in United States, and one of the smaller number that say where in the country they transmit from.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by Soma FM Groove Salad 320K AAC HLS Surround. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at www.somafm.com.
