SomaFM Beat Blender (128k MP3)

Out of 1,481 entries in the United States, this one ranks 337. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

The station's language is English, the commonest of the six the directory records for the United States. Language is one of the two axes this site indexes on, and the English shelf collects these stations across every country that carries them.

The station's leading tag is chillout, shared with 7 other entries in the United States. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

128 kbps matches the United States' median almost exactly. Most stations cluster here because most of them are using the same handful of hosting providers with the same default settings.

32 of the United States' entries are served from ice5.somafm.com, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
