The directory states no bitrate for this stream, so there is nothing to draw here. The field is filled from what a stream's own server announces when it is scanned, and plenty of servers announce nothing.
Position 130 of 1,481 in the United States. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.
No bitrate is recorded against this stream. It is a common gap: the value is scraped from the stream's headers and plenty of servers do not send them. Press play and your browser will tell you more in two seconds than the field would have.
SomaFM Groove Salad (HLS FLAC) streams in MP4 rather than the MP3 that most of the United States' dial uses. Uncommon codecs are worth noticing for a practical reason as well as a nerdy one: browser support for them is thinner than for MP3 and AAC.
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.

SomaFM Groove Salad (HLS FLAC) 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 SomaFM Groove Salad (HLS FLAC). Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at somafm.com.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
