Sonos: add your own Internet radio stations

by Volker Weber

Heiko just installed his new Sonos yesterday and makes an interesting observation. He says the Internet Radio stations are not stressed enough as a major advantage of the Sonos sound system. If you go through your 900 Sat radios, you will find that some 800 are encrypted. On the Sonos however, every single one of the preloaded stations work. Out of the box. And you can add your own, as I just did with these SomaFM stations:

SomaFM Groove Salad
http://somafm.com/groovesalad.pls

SomaFM Secret Agent
http://somafm.com/secretagent.pls

SomaFM Beat Blender
http://somafm.com/beatblender.pls

SomaFM Tag's Trance Trip
http://somafm.com/tagstrance.pls

SomaFM cliphop idm
http://somafm.com/cliphop.pls

SomaFM Space Station
http://somafm.com/spacestation.pls

SomaFM Illinois Street Lounge
http://somafm.com/illstreet.pls

SomaFM Drone Zone
http://somafm.com/dronezone.pls

Simply click on Add New under the radio station list, and enter a name and the URL. The new station will be added under Favorite Stations:

Update: Heiko just asked me for another station:

Ibiza Sonica
http://74.53.202.242:1025/listen.pls

Do you know that if you open the above URL without the listen.pls, you´ll get a status page of the shoutcast server plus song history.

A server I´m listening to a lot - if you like japanese music - is:
http://209.51.162.170:9618/listen.pls

Auf mein Noxon gespielt, danke Volker.

Liegt jetzt genau neben Bayern 5 Aktuell (im Moment unter http://gffstream-w9a.wm.llnwd.net/gffstream_w9a, leider ändern sie die Adresse ständig ohne irgendein Update auf den Servern bekanntzugeben).
