I noticed some of the lyrics were missing to Bob Dylan's tune "It's Alright, Ma" on the RP info page for that song. There is an entire verse missing (between "choruses"). It's the second from last verse, which begins after the line "I got nothing, Ma, to live up to" and ends just before the line "Old lady judges watch people in pairs". The complete lyrics to the song are here: https://www.bobdylan.com/songs...

Error Retrieving Cache Block.

So just recently I'm unable to download any cache blocks beyond 12 hours on my Android phone...never had this issue before...any suggestions to correct this situation? And yes I have plenty of data space remaining in my external storage micro SD Card. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the app to no avail. Thanks!

My kindle Fire has stopped downloading streams. My old de-googled phone and my new one both seem to do it fine. I'm not sure what to do as the old phone has a sketchy USB power connection and I use my Fire for music at work. I'll run out of stream next week, and work radio needs a sound jack to work (new phone one of those missing such)

Android app user here and the last few times I've downloaded a cache block, I've ended up with the same set of songs each time. They are not bad songs mind you but I've not come across this issue in the past. Just hoping to mix it up a bit. Thanks for all of RP's great work.

It seems like the Main Mix, and only the Main Mix, is not streaming, or for some reason has no sound. The other channels I tried seem OK. This is on the website and on the Android app. I hope this is a reasonable place to report an outage, I didn't see a more obvious place.

No sound other than station ID coming from the website. Tried both Safari and Firefox. 6:38 PM EST

Sonos has gone to shit for all sorts of (self-inflicted) reasons, so I'm not sure if it's from their shitty apps or a true RP glitch. It's not just the app, it's the firmware updates, too. You might try the web app, though. It seems to be the most stable for me, although with some obnoxious lags and shitty interface.

There appears to have been a major outage, nothing worked for me during the past few hours, the website was unresponsive and the web streams gave silence. The main stream is back now (although not in sync with What's Playing) and the website is obviously working again, or we wouldn't be posting this ð
I guess the rest will also come back pretty soon.

Thank you for the comment. ATM, all streams are playing for me, but they only display the channel name, not the artist and song, as they used to do. I wonder whether we can get a technical explanation of the problem.

Why is user "thisbody" posting YouTube vids in nearly every topic on the RAFT? Does "thisbody" have a defective computer/phone, or is something else about "thisbody" defective, like a lack of common sense ...

Hi, it looks like the streams are mostly not working properly. I can hear the "banner" in a loop, eg. "This is the Mellow Mix on Radio Paradise", and again, and again, but no music. The Rock Mix is also dead, and the World Mix doesn't work, either. I'm referring to the aac-128, mellow-128 and rock-128 streams.

Also, I stumbled across this on the website:

https://radioparadise.com/comm...

This gives a 504 error.

I have been listening to RP for about 20 years. Untill now I have never found an issue that required a post untill now. I just purchased an incredible pair of new headphones. I have always loved your audio quality and your soft-handed audio processing.

I have an audio background and have worked with many radio automation systems. If my memory is correct, your system is custom and your transitions between songs may be very different from systems I have worked with.

But armed with my wonderful new headphones, I am now painfully aware that often your transitions are inconsistent. Sometimes songs fade into silence. And other times songs are cut off in mid fade. Rarely do songs segue into the next. But occasionally the transition is quite artful.

When songs are cut off in mid-fade, the magic of the music is degraded. I hope your audio magicians will pay more attention to this small aspect of building your playlists.

We are currently rebuilding ALL of the Android apps. Automotive, mobile, tablet, TV version, etc... We pushed what will probably be the last real update to the older versions and will be releasing the new versions incrementally as we finish them. The Automotive is first up and that's nearly ready. After that, we will be developing the mobile/tablet/TV versions over the rest of the fall and winter. There will be beta versions first for our testers and finally the public release somewhere towards the beginning of the year.

So 6+ months for a fix, then? It isn't that big a deal to me, since I don't spend much time looking at the screen, but having background pictures that aren't random and actually match the song makes for a much better user experience - particularly with anyone trying it out for the first time, I'd think.

I am having a similar problem to q4fry. Rock mix is playing fine until you transmit the ident "Listener-supported / Commercial-free" Once this has been transmitted the feed stops playing and there is just 'dead air'. The playlist text is not updated from that shown when "Listener-supported / Commercial-free" is mentioned.

I have experienced this problem today, 12/07/2024, on my Sonos speakers using FLAC. Following other posts in this list I have reduced to 320 in the hope that this will sort the problem out.

I have tried 320, but no difference. Music plays, ident plays, then nothing!
I can stream from my Android phone to Nest speakers, but Sonos system definately being problematic.

Sonos really effed up their products with those updates. We're sorry that you're still having issues.
You could try a lower bitrate.
Listening to us in Sonos Radio works as well.

Every once in a while, they relate to the currently playing song, but the vast majority of the time they seem to be just random. In case anyone cares, and is not aware, this is still an issue.

I had a hiccup and it jumped ahead almost an hour on the playlist, played a few songs and stopped updating again.

Though the music is still playing and progressing to new songs, my "Now playing" display keeps getting stuck at the "Listener-supported / Commercial-free." Also, the list of songs on what's just been played is frozen.

I can get it to reset with a Shift-Refresh, but the display just freezes up later.

Edit: I'm hearing Taj Mahal's You're Gonna Need Somebody On Your Bond again, when I think I heard it an hour ago. Not that I'm complaining too hard... it's a really fun song.

Edit 2: Seems fine now.
