Or:

    alias dronezone='mplayer http://somafm.com/dronezone130.pls'
    alias groovesalad='mplayer http://somafm.com/groovesalad130.pls'

(etc.)

Requires an explicit '-playlist' tag on recent (?) mplayers, otherwise it aborts due to potential security issues.

Multiple Soma FM recommendations in the thread. That's great to see. I pay for a monthly "subscription", because it's one of those things that, if it disappeared tomorrow, would be upsetting and impossible to replace. I use it daily.

Before Apple sold music, iTunes had an Internet Radio tab that listed several SomaFM stations.

It still does. It just gets more and more hidden with each release. But it's still there.

Do you have to sign up for Apple Music to listen to these radios ?

No, No signup or login needed, free.

I'm listening to GrooveSalad as I type.

What's its bandwidth use like? If there's 20 people in the same office listening online, Youtube, etc. can get a bit heavy on the bit-flow.

Depends on the station. Go to the station page and check out the streaming options. Example:
