It happens here, too; I only use the cache feature so I'm not sure if it happens when live streaming. Figured it was a combination of an iPhone 5s and a cheap bluetooth broadcaster thing but it also drops when hooked up to a more brand name bluetooth speaker. Sometimes after 1 or 2 songs, sometimes after an hour.

I have it too. I have gigabit at home, then using the iPhone 6 to Airplay Lossless to the HomePod.
One, maybe two songs and then it stops.

Have just started a live stream at home on the 4G network (wifi off) and bluetoothed to a speaker so will see what happens.
*EDIT* I might have solved my problem....I was going through the preferences and noticed I had the "Do not use cellular connection..." button checked green. The strange thing it was still playing the current live stream via 4G. This may be another bug? I definitely have wifi off on the phone and am connected to cell network. Anyway I turned that option off and will see what happens.

Is there a fix for this? I am trying to stream RP at work on iphone 8 via 4G network and bluetooth to a radio. Works fine for a couple or 3 songs and then goes into pause mode. Press play, starts up again fine. I have got it set to "low" quality but still does it. Seems to work fine at home when I am hooked into the wifi. I have rebooted the iphone and I have the latest version according to app store (6.3.4).
So annoying that I have to stop it and use another music streaming site.

That's strange and unheard of (but you 2 in this thread).
it could be:
* a network capacity problem, if you are in US it could be a side effect of the missing net neutrality.
* you are still using one of the past 9.x versions that was plagued by unexpected stops (sorry, it was corrected).
* the bluetooth speaker you're talking to send some spurious "stop" or "pause" command on the bluetooth stream. This is strange, but not unheard of (BT is a complex protocol). The app answers to them, so to allow (for example) the car stereo command to work.

Anyway, if you send me the log, via the Preferences —> Send Feedback —> Malfunctioning (adding some details on what's the problem is) I could be probably be more useful (or, at least, tell you for sure what's happening).
