SomaFM Synphaera Radio

SomaFM Synphaera Radio is at position 97 of the 1,481 stations in the United States with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

The station's leading tag is ambient, shared with 52 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.

Across every country, SomaFM Synphaera Radio is 27 of the 171 stations leading with ambient, 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 audio comes from ice5.somafm.com, and 31 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.
