What is SomaPlayer?
SomaPlayer is a Chrome extension that allows users to stream SomaFM web radio stations directly from their web browser. It eliminates the need to visit individual station's page or use an external media player to listen to the music. It also updates the actively playing track and provides desktop notifications. The extension also has a feature that syncs with your Last.fm account to keep track of your listening history.
