Music Discovery

SomaFM will introduce you to a lot of music you hadn’t heard before. Very eclectic selection of vibes to accompany all kinds of activities & moods. SomaFM has what algorithmic playlists fail to have - taste in music.

Problem with the latest version (1.13)!

The latest version broke the Chrome cast feature. Now you can’t cast any station to a Chrome cast device without this app being the active app and the device being turned on! That defeats the whole purpose of using Chrome cast. Also, the song listing only starts showing those after you start playing. Previously it shows all the past played tracks regardless when you start streaming. I regret updating to this version and wish I could downgrade to the previous version (1.12)!!! Please fix these.
