| Thank you Rusty for sticking with it!

|
| Let me start out by saying that SomaFM is great.
|
| But when I started listening to SomaFM (nearly 20 years ago), I
| never imagined that for only $10/month I'd be able to listen to
| (essentially) any song whenever I wanted. That's amazing and so
| much more valuable (to me) than what Soma offers.
| tbatchelli wrote:
| To each their own, I guess. I also pay for Apple Music and
| have access to all that music, but there is no substitute for
| curation with a sense of taste and musical direction.
|
| For me, having access to all the music in the world is only
| marginally better than what I had before when buying CDs (or
| records even); I don't listen to more music than before. What
| I really love, instead, is being introduced to a new track
| that captures my interest, a track that I know I will be
| listening to multiple times in the future. The quality, and
| the fact that I would have probably not have found it by
| myself, or not liked it without the context.
|
| When I was younger, when I had enough pocket money, I would
| go to the record store, and the problem wasn't how to get a
| CD, because they had oh so many!, but what CD to get. For
| this, I relied on friends, radio stations, and the shop
| keepers. They all had a good portion of the music world in
| their head, with their own taste and opinion about what's
| interesting, and I found many gems this way. Automated
| recommendations don't quite do it for me, nor I have been
| lucky with other people's playlists; I gotta get acquainted
| with the curator first in order to trust their curation.
|
| So I listen to SomaFM, and when something gets me interested
| I go and buy it or add it to my library. Best of both worlds!

| To be honest, Pandora has served that role for me over the
| years. I am always amazed to look back at my Pandora
| station history to see how it has evolved into different
| streams/genres, all stimulated from hearing new music
| through a Pandora channel, and then starting a new station
| after I liked it. This has created a web of new music I
| wouldn't have sought out otherwise.
|
| Obviously, I do think that a human DJ may perform this role
| better in some cases/genres though.
| inferiorhuman wrote:
| My favorite part of SomaFM is that I discover new artists
| (or get encouraged to go on a deep dive) fairly

| but the impression I get is that SomaFM is much better
| with the more niche genres.

|
| For a while now I've considered this to be more of a curse
| than anything else because at least personally I've noticed
| that the constant hopping replaces genuinely paying attention
| with quantity. I now pick a handful of albums per month or
| pick an NTS session I like and re-listen much more.

| Oh my mother _loves_ SomaFM. The thing is that you can just

| huron wrote:
| But how do you find new songs for you to put on your

|
| That's why SomaFM and online stations like KCRW are so
| valuable. They're ways to introduce new music and even new
| styles of music to the listeners.

| recently discovered and which enables one to specify a song
| and get a list of public playlists featuring this song. It

| loudmax wrote:
| I love Radio Paradise!
|
| One of the best things about it is how the main mix transcends
| genres. I consider it basically a rock station, but they'll
| also play Country, Jazz, Blues, Pop, Classical and
| miscellaneous other stuff. In a single song set you can easily
| go from Led Zeppelin to Radiohead to Johnny Cash to Arctic
| Monkeys to Stevie Wonder to Billie Eilish to JS Brahms to some
| West African singer you'd never had heard of otherwise. It's
