Greetings Bill. I trust all is well. My Sonos has decided that RP is not going to work today. I can stream RP directly on my cell phones and computers, but dear old Sonos is a no go. Did the standard resets, reloads, etc. And I talked to the uncle of one of the Sonos engineers about them, who is a friend of mine.  The uncle is a true believer now in RP, btw. Now I am trying to get him to pry his wallet open. He said they are an engineering company and not a software company. BAH, I say. And he said that they are an awesome data collection firm. All other music  apps are working of course. I persist in nagging. Hope it is a simple reset or just go into no RP withdrawals for a few hours and try again. :-)

Damn. Sorry. Took the wrong day off, it looks like.

Fixed now (again)

I am running Windows 10 and also have a galaxy S7.  RP played just fine on Sonos until this morning.Uninstalled and re-installed RP app and Sonos app
 on both phone and laptop. Reconfigured all the speakers. Turns out all my other stations play fine, just not RP.Tried deleting the station
and adding it again by typing in the streaming url....no luck. It looks like it's playing but no song info comes up and no sound.

Still not working here via Sonos or Roon. 

I too have issues with SONOS. It's a clunky system for sure. It easily decides to you reset things before it will respond. But at least it dosen't drop much.
What DOES drop a lot is the FLAC selection when playing through my PC. I'm direct wired to a pretty fast and stable internet connection, FLAC should not be a problem but constantly it is.
Lower bit-rates all seem to work fine. But man, I love that FLAC!  I sure wish I could listen to it.
  Any suggestions?

Sorry about that. Server glitch while I was away for a few hours.

Should be OK now.

RP on Sonos is not working. Have had RP as a Sonos favorite for 2 years. Worked fine until this morning. Tried deleting the station and re-adding it. This appears to be an RP streaming issue, as all other stations play fine through same Sonos system.

I'm suffering the same problem in Germany (close to Hamburg). 8 Years no remarkable problems - this morning from 7 am - no sound...
Any ideas ?
Best regards

Running a Sonos system for 7 years (one play3 and 2 play 5's). This morning it looks like it's playing but no sound.  I am not set to FLAC. Other stations are working fine.
Doesn't matter whether I am using the app on my phone or laptop. Looks like it's playing but no sound.

I posted on the Sonos page. Would be great if Sonos provided some of the features, mainly PSD/skip songs and the ability to select the music type like you can on the android app. Will look at posting on the FB page too.

These days there are so many other devices which compete with Sonos (which replaced my Squeezeboxes long time ago), so considering moving to something new.

Could try using my 'Raspberry Pi 3' for streaming RP. This is a $30 device but needs some programming.

The nice thing about the Sonos is you can link players, but as use I my devices through two multi-room amps, I would just need to take the output from the main player up one floor, which I can easily do which would free the Sonos up to be used in a different zone...

We get a lot of folks asking why they can't easily access RP via their Sonos system. 

We'd like that too. It's not an easy thing to arrange, unfortunately, if you're not Spotify or Pandora. You can listen via TuneIn (we're under 'eclectic' in their directory) but that lacks any of our advanced features.

Pinging support@sonos.com with something like this might help:

"I'd love to listen to Radio Paradise in lossless format, and be able to skip songs like you can on their apps or web player. When I contacted them they said they'd be willing to work with you on this."

Please put that in your own words, and include my contact email: bill@radioparadise.com. Thanks!

Works fine for me in the UK - I just selected RP from TuneIn. Occasionally I have had problems when it starts breaking up and stops, so I restart (reselect RP from  radio stations) and it kicks in again. I don't see why RP should be any different to any other station for you. PM me if you want dig deeper technically - I'm in IT...

Hi, I'm from London. I can find RP in the Sonos app via TuneIn, and even though it shows the station as playing, there's no sound. Same issue if I add it via streaming link. Occasionally, the 'Now Playing' song is correct.
I have no issue with other stations from the US. Any thoughts?

PSD is supported in the RP app. Sonos just carries streams, so no, PSD will not be available on Sonos for a long time. Now if Sonos became a true network appliance with a full OS (it currently runs some kind of squashed Linux), then you'd have something. 

+1 on the Sonos though ... I can always just reach over, hit "play", and the last thing played (which is almost always RP) comes up in about 1.5 seconds. 

And while we are at it, wouldn't the rating functionality be great too.  How else am I going to keep track of all these songs?
