Why does the RP website repeatedly/randomly stop playing? Initially I thought it was a Firefox problem, but I switched to Safari to listen and the same thing. Not as bad as with Firefox, but still irritating to have to get up from work and walk across the room to refresh the listen now button. Yeah, I know, First World problems, but still...
I'm having the same issues for a couple of weeks now. Very annoying!!
The day the music just stopped altogether! I listen on a macbook with duckduckgo browser. Last few weeks have had frequent pauses while in Main Mix. Usually it would resume when I refreshed screen. Today, refresh didnât work. I tried logging in and out, closing browser, switching channelsâ¦.nothing is working. I can see whatâs playing and the info screen but no sound. Very sad. Iâm a relatively new listeners, since maybe last summer and have come to love RP. Hope I can get it to work again.
Yep, the album titles are a problem too. SOMEbody let a script run roughshod over the database and ... do they have a backup? Can they restore anything without causing further damage?
Because no human would take the time to change the title of Beck's Guero LP to "2008-08-31: The Independent, San Francisco, CA, USA" when Que Onda Guero isn't even on that bootleg!
I'm sure it was 20+ years ago that someone, maybe me, probably not, suggested that this portion of RP be a wiki. Worth a reconsider.

The album art issue seems pretty pervasive at a database level.

In seeing this and thinking about the never-ending new thread to report a lost or stolen bit of cover art, car play skipping, etc... maybe THIS thread, or a new one?... should be pinned to the top of the forum list. It would save a ton of "lost souls", and provide William & Co. one place to keep tabs on stuff.
Not a bug as opposed to an oversight. Priorities. The music itself and the segues were the most important things. There was a time when we members donated music to the library.
You registered it before, here on RP, so it's not a new "bug"?

I agree but back then if it was wrong it was because someone just assigned the wrong album. Now it seems to be doing some sort of search "what album is this track from?" and going with whatever it finds. That is, some songs that used to be correct now have wildly incorrect info.
William was a little put out at first but then manually replaced the album art
With this album cover from Ry Cooder's "Paradise & Lunch"
But now it's been overwritten by this compilation album info:
Which, again, looks like a good album to own but... at least in this case the song is, in fact, on that compilation.
Man you are old. Let me know when you want to go yell at some clouds together.

Remember the "back room AU" ... Wow, that takes things back awhile.
Yeah, I have noticed a lot of the album art changing lately. There was a huge addition to the library what a year or so ago and the dates were a generic something or other with no art IIRC. Might it have something to do with the tune code coding numbers used for royalty payments ? I don't know but I did look into that fustercluck a few years ago. Just keeping up with that might be a full time job especially with all the new mixes and remasters coming out. If I'm not mistaken, some of these are very much album specific.
And then to finish the thought of all the outages and disruptions going on ... once upon a time we were all listening to one feed via dial up and 128 mp3's. Recent members have no clue as to how far we've come.
Noticed that ages ago and just sort of gave up on trying to correct these types of things.

Point being: a lot of songs are listed as being from these odd releases when they're not. If they are, that's cool, but the information is not reliable.

And the lord only knows about the singles versions.

I figured I would find some Beatles songs that are sourced from the Butcher Baby album. I didn't but Penny Lane is from what now? Discogs says Capitol 1979 "Unofficial Release"
Depends on the version. Fake stereo album versions are from the US editions of Magical Mystery Tour.
The only true stereo album version I know of are German pressings.
It's just weird howâsomehowâthe source disc cited is often correct despite being the most obscure K-Tel cutout bootleg 10-inch remaster and not just the actual studio album it's from.

It's weird that it links to an obscure bootleg like that. It's probably the alternative mix of the tune that has an extra trumpet flourish at the very end - I used to have it on some bootleg years ago.
still get the occasional (like once or thrice a day) random music stoppage... it's after a song that has the station shoutout cut in. just a slight annoyance that i have to go to 'what's playing' & click play to get it going again. win11,chrome
guess it's good to get some silence now and then
Yeah, that's from a 1995 live album called "Isle of View".

...Pretenders - Live at the Palladium 1980 does not/cannot have this version of Back on the Chain Gang on it because the song was written in 1982-ish after James died.

I can't imagine how hard it's going to be to unfuck the database* but TIL that there's a bootleg Elvis Costello album out there from 1978. This song isn't on it.
*These sorts of things are extremely common, especially when it comes to album art. e.g.: Love & Rockets song played earlier is showing a Tones on Tail ep. So it's never totally arbitrary.
I do appreciate how whatever happened to the database is pulling some pretty frickin' rare (to me) albums out of the aether to track down. But
