Unlike other similar websites, the SnapFM.com website doesn't keep track of webcasts other than those which originate from "brick and mortar" radio stations.
This is SnapFM.com's niche and considering I've been asked more than once how to find such information, I think they're on to something.
According to Adam Savage and Dennis Patti, the founders of SnapFM, "Our goal was to create a simple internet radio website that would allow people to listen live to AM and FM stations from across the nation, in a user friendly format."
When you browse over to SnapFM.com, you can choose to listen by location (beginning with a state-by-state graphically menu) which brings you to a listing of all stations for that state in the snapFM.com database. From there you can select by city or by format.
You can alternately choose to find stations by starting off with a format you have in mind ("Classic Rock", "Country", "Ethnic", "Jazz", "Hip Hop", "Top 40", etc.) and click further to refine your search.
There's even a fun "Random Station" button which will will choose something for you.
SnapFM.com let's you create a free account. Once you do, you can log-in and save favorite stations for later visits. Account holders can also rate stations and snapFM.com promises some special offers will be made only to members.
SnapFM.com does not yet have every stream from every AM and FM station across America in its database yet. For instance: the only markets listed as of this writing for Virginia are Norfolk and Washington, D.C. But, I queried them and was assured the database will continue to be expanded and updated.
I think SnapFM.com will be a useful website for radio fans to visit and bookmark.
