SomaFM streams Groove Salad, etc, straight to your iPhone
SomaFM.com’s famous Groove Salad can be streamed right to your iPhone, wherever you go. The nice thing I discovered about this is that you can still do anything else on the phone while it plays, except for use the browser. I didn’t think apps were allowed to “run” in the background, but apparently SomaFM’s implementation gets around that. Pandora has that limitation, which I’m sure it will be freed of in the future when Apple relaxes the SDK.
Steps:
- navigate to somafm.com in your iphone’s safari
- tap ‘WiFi/3G Streams’ (unless you’re in the sticks then select Edge)
- press the ‘+’, tap ‘Add to Home Screen‘, trim the name to SomaFM
- tap a station and a player will appear, press play and the stream begins
- return to your home screen and position your new SomaFM icon
- go enjoy a bowl of groove salad.
While you’re at it, if you’ve got some extra change, throw a few into their coffers, it looks as though they could use it.
