The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

Tagged jazz, along with 20 other stations in the country and 127 across the directory.

Across every country, SomaFM Sonic Universe (256k MP3) is 31 of the 127 stations leading with jazz, by the same open count the country list uses.

Twice the local median and then some: 256 kbps where the United States' stations typically manage 128. Whether you can hear the difference depends entirely on what you are listening on, but the headroom is there.

The stream address on this entry points at ice6.somafm.com, which is where 36 other stations in the United States are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
