This is incredible! I like un-intrusive music to work as we are located in large, open offices - very nice but noisy at times (hello Rolf!). I listen to my albums on my UMPC, but they get stale after a while... I have now discovered "soma FM groovesalad" thanks to lifehacker. A continuous stream of great ambient music, great for work!

To fully enjoy it with Windows Meida Player, there is a little tweaking to be done however...

You get a .PLS (playlist) file from soma FM that Windows Media Player doesn't understand. No problem, John Galloway has blessed us with a tiny helper app that teaches the beloved media player to interpret these files.

Secondly, while you are at it, but fully optional is the installation of the K-Lite codec pack for Windows Media Player. Absolutely not needed for soma FM, but hey, What is a media player without all the codecs?

Third, and fully optional again, soundspectrum has a great visualization for Windows Media Player called "softskies". It produces real-time realistic sky/cloud-simulation to the music playing. The perfect office-Zen-addition!
