Sofaspace Ambient Radio

Sofaspace is a listener-supported, independent and free internet radio station. We broadcast a nice mix of background sounds for the quiet times at home, chilling after parties and listening at work. Take some relaxing ambient music, mix it with easy chill and sexy lounge music and then trow in a bit of pumping dub and psychedelic tunes et voilà, you got Sofaspace. The only thing you'll ever need to make your sofa happy.

Discover new sounds in our own Music Store where we're selling a variety of great CDs and Downloads which are hard to get anywhere else. Think of it as Sofaspace for offline use.

Tune in, lean back and enjoy the vibes.

More Apps :)

ooTunes

Looks like I've hit the nerve with my last post as some readers let me know that there are apparently quite a few useful apps for the iPhone.

This particular baby called ooTunes comes with builtin Sofaspace support. You get the mp3, ogg and aac+ streams directly from their directory. Nice. :)

It's not free though, but it comes with a huge radio directory and they're adding new stations regularly.

UPDATE: If you think of getting this app, then do so today. All earnings go to Haiti relief efforts. Only today 20th January. Thanks!

FStream for Mac and iPhone

Submitted by nem on Wed, 13/01/2010 - 01:54

Somebody pointed me last year to promote a little application i found some time ago for the Mac. I completely forgot about it but came across the website again today. So here is the hot tip for Mac users struggling with quality ogg playback.

FStream works perfectly with our streams on your OS X Mac and your iPhone. There's a good review on Mac360 about this application. Basically it's just a streaming client that does it's job so damn well, you start it and completely forget it's running. It just keeps the music coming. Drop VLC in favour of this one. You won't regret it.

Hell, you can even take us with you wherever you go. Sitting in a bus, nobody to talk to? No problem, share your musical preferences with the world. If you have speakers, even better. Let them know which is your favourite radio station. :)

Bandwitdh Increase: 128kbs for Everybody!

Submitted by nem on Sat, 12/12/2009 - 13:35

Good news: Sofaspace increases the bandwidth on the standard streams to 128kbs. This change comes as an answer to recent requests we got from our listners. We were able to optimize our hosting costs and are now paying less for more. So we thought we'd pass that on to you.

The premium plans will also be adjusted at the the end of this year. We will lower the prices and continue with only one plan insteand of two. Every subscriber will get access to the higher bitrates. We will contact existing subscribers personaly to guide them through the conversion process.

If you have any question about the compatibility with your player, feel free to post them in the support forum. We'll answer them as good as we can.
