SomaFM Sonic Universe (128k AAC)

The directory lists two streams in the United States under this name, told apart by a number alone. This page is number one hundred and twenty-eight. Nothing here is taken from the other one.

Position 446 of 1,481 puts this station in the middle of the United States' directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

Four recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

The station's leading tag is avant-garde, shared with 5 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.

The audio comes from ice2.somafm.com, and 35 other stations in the United States are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of the United States' listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
