Great new streaming radio station for crusing Celestia space

Post #1by fsgregs » 12.09.2006, 01:47

Hi folks:

I recently ran across a really great, free, streaming radio station for cruising Celestia space. It plays ethereal "space" music 24 hours a day, and most of it is just perfect for a little trip through the cosmos.

To get it, download the iTunes radio player from Apple.com. Its free. Install it, then click the "radio" button. When the menu appears, select "ambient" as the category. From the station listing that appears, choose:

Drone Zone from Soma FM. It is offered in several bit rates.

That's all there is to it. Start it playing, launch Celestia ... and you are cruising to beautiful space music.

Enjoy

Frank

Cool. They have a website http://somafm.com/listen/ where you don't have to have itunes (I don't personally like itunes)... Warning, heavy techno.

Buggs:

Thanks for the station link. I just discovered today that my school blocks instllation of iTunes on our network. Using the link, I can play the stream on Windows Media Player. :D

Thanks again.
