RP is still available via BlueOS! I know that William was involved with NAD in implementing MQA Lossless (the protocol that separates Tidal from all the rest, in terms of audio quality!) As a result, NAD audio gear capable of streaming features Radio Paradise as a native music service. This is a HUGE leap in high fidelity. If you havenât already, take whatever steps are necessary to hear Radio Paradise in MQA on NAD audiophile gear!

I just got my NAD C658 streaming preamp back from repair. Everything works great, and in the vast list of native (built-in) music services (Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify, Neil Young Archives, Amazon but weirdly not Apple Music, etc.) my trusty favourite of all time Radio Paradise is right there big as life and THE ONLY MUSIC SERVICE IN MQA without a paywall!

I've noticed lately, when viewing the mobile web page via the Firefox home page link, it would become unresponsive. I think it gets into a tap loop. I say this because using a long press for the context menu to paste, the menu would just flash. Tapping to rate would freeze the page. I just loaded Opera's browser app and doing the same, viewing with the home page link, the page response correctly.

I'm having trouble with the ROKU app. It will play the live stream fine but when I try to play the My Favorites it crashes and won't restart. I've tried deleting the app and reloading it twice but it keeps happening. This only started happening in the last few days. Is anyone else having the problem? Any ideas to fix it?

It would be nice if the web player recognized typed numbers as ratings — I run RP on my work computer in Google Chrome's app mode (basically looks like a native app, no browser buttons/controls) on a virtual desktop so that I can quickly jump to it — it would be nice to be able to type '7' for example and then jump back to my work rather than having to click. Spacebar is already accepted for play/pause, so it seems that keyboard shortcuts are already somewhat implemented.

Hi,
I'd be curious what browser and bitrate you are using.
Only recent changes were to FLAC on Safari.

Another thing you can try is listening to our stream.
If there are any networking issues you'll get stuttering. Will help narrow things down.

An update for that is on the todo list. At the moment it is unstable on some phone models. Main thing that can help is disabling battery optimization.
These days that is found in.
phone settings -> apps -> rp -> battery -> disable optimizattion.
Then reboot phone.

Worth a try as it is the most common cause of quirks for all apps.

As I reported a while back, disabling battery optimization didn't work for me.

Since the issue seemed annoyingly repetitive, I just stopped using the app for playing 'live'. Instead, the app works completely fine playing cached blocks for offline listening - which, for all intents & purposes was same, perhaps even better.

Checking now, first time in weeks, the app is playing a-okay 'live', even when toggling streams and getting it to cast to the same Chromecast audio-only device as always. Previously, casting would break it repeatedly, when last checked and reported, a few weeks ago, with the only brief fix requiring a reinstall. So far so good, but I'm not about to fiddle with it much. Same app ver, of course: 4.6.5.gp

I've done all that and nothing improved. If also tried adding a browser shortcut to the website player but that option has been disabled in favour of directing people to the broken app. You're making it harder for me to keep listening.

I am not using the RP app, and I understand that internet streaming involves latencies but there are times when the What's Playing webpage does not match the Main Mix audio I am hearing on other devices around the house (Roku, Logitech, Samsung phone). By a lot. Clearing caches, resetting routers and devices sometimes, maybe, kinda, changes the synching. Most of the time it is spot on. Except when it isn't. Is it something on my end, the vagries of electron movement on the internet, or a synching issue on the RP end?

Things should generally be within ten seconds. If it's much more than that. Something has probably gotten out of sync on our end. Which did happen yesterday during some maintenance.

Feature request: "Stuff I don't hate".
I recently had occasion to drive one of the worlds most remote roads. While there are patches of radio coverage, it's mostly out of cellular range. I pulled 24hrs of 'My favourites' and it just made the drive soo much better. Of course you've no idea what's coming next, but you do know you're going to love it. That was just awesome, thanks heaps for making that happen.

But then of course I don't know all the musics, and I haven't even managed to flag all the ones I like. It looks like the 'My favourites' playlist is made up of those I've rated 7+.

What I'd love to see is a "Stuff I don't hate" offline download, made up of anything in the RP archives less anything I've rated <4. I'm not going to change my mind about those threes and unders, much in the same way I have to accept that, sadly, Bill doesn't like Guns n' Roses.

Any support out there for such a thing? Cheers :)

I'm having lots of issues with RP and Sonos today, streams dropping, unable to connect etc. Error message " Unable to play "xxxxxxx" connection to audio-geo.radioparadise was lost"

There's a few ways to scroll those. - mouse over the column and scroll the mousewheel. ( two finger gesture if a laptop touchpad ) - click on the column, then use keyboard up/down arrows or page up/page down

@jarro Perhaps you can better answer a question posed in this thread than what I have offered. Clicky
