That had me stymied a little yesterday. Seems more intuitive now. 
 
The smallest of quibbles would be that it's so tiny (thanks for that) that when clicking at about the 75% area, say, I find myself in the text box instead. Does this even work for people using touch screens? The usual big ol' slider there is sometimes hard to get to respond...

OK. Volume settings are now saved. The scale on the volume knob is now logarithmic as well.

New features to break — er, test:

Volume control (setting is not currently saved when the player is restarted — that'll be working soon)
Sync to Web Stream (on PSD menu)

In the future, skipping to the next song will be disabled once you've caught up with the web stream (or used the sync to... feature).  Currently, however, you can skip merrily into the future with occasionally unpredictable results.

Same experience as before: Player kicks back to earlier moment in the playlist, this time to the Racounteurs: You Don't Understand Me.

Restarted the Player and we are back in business: the sweetness of Calexico's House Of Valparaiso.

Still on Safari 9.1

Still getting regular crashes on my work computer. Don't know if it is our sucky internet, a sucky firewall, or our sucky IT department.

When it happens, it crashes the RP pages on my browser, too. I think someone else had this problem a while back. 

Getting some digital chatter at the end of Nick Cave and thru your voiceover, into ELP. Once that interstitial was out of the way, ELP is playing cleanly. But both songs were victims of it.
 
edit: I'm wrong. The noise is random...

I just saw this and gave it a try, and the first song it played me was "Chance" by Big Country. 

The app should drop a mic and walk away because it ain't gettin' any better than that.

Yes, and I think you're right.

after a while (maybe an hour), the stream loops back and plays again. I think this happens if I skip songs, but I'm not sure.

The graphic for the album cover of Daniel Lanois' Where Will I Be (Here Is What Is) is not displaying in the basic player. It does display  when I click through to Song & artist info.

Ditto. And did that start out as the studio version and then jump to a live version of Twilight Zone?

Coming out of Golden Earring — Twilight Zone just now I heard Bill's voice over top of the cut and then the song ended abruptly. I was mid-post on a comment (which takes you to a pop-up window). Running Safari 9.1 with too many open windows and tabs on my work  Macbook.

I may have missed this discussion, but the menu bar on player's artist/song info window should hold a donate gadget IMO.

Overall I'm really enjoying the beta player, and I've listened to RP for years because I love the eclectic nature of the programming. I love surprises, and I trust Bill's DJing to provide them.

Which brings me to the PSD. One of the choices is "eclectic" which seems to be just a bin for music that doesn't fit the other bins, and I understand that the bins are chosen from (or at least influenced by) music I've rated highly. How difficult would it be to find a song I've never rated?

If there was a button that said "Surprise me" I'd click the hell out of it.

The way the images are sync'd to the song, is a big improvement. I often had up to a three image lapover between songs on the current player.

Yes, I'll be adding that.

It would be really nice to have a volume control on the player, similar to the current one, for fine tuning the level. I try to hit the perfect level of audible but not intrusive when I'm at work.
