Thanks Bill. On another note it's a bit disconcerting for you to periodically remind me that you know I'm "listening to RP using the Android App" (I can't find the looking in my rear view mirror emoticon)

No. On the Android platform, Ogg definitely is the best-sounding codec.

Great app! I only have the 3 OGG stream options. Any way to add others?

For those having issues,

There will be an update around Monday (3.1)  it's more of a general refresh so not sure it will help.

As a fallback there is an older version that does not have the caching feature.
If the legacy version doesn't work, I have had one report of needing to change the stream setting from ogg to mp3.
Was for an LG Optimus  I believe.

You can do this with alarm clock apps that have a launch app feature.   "Alarm Clock Plus"  for example.    You just need to enable  the play on launch setting in the Radio Paradise app.

Tried that, still no joy. It tries to start, then Several song titles scroll across too fast (~15 seconds each), then the blue bar at the bottom just hangs. Never get any music out of it.  I played with the settings and can't get the cache to load either.

I really liked the feature on my Iphone for setting an alarm to wake up to RP.  Any idea if that feature will carry over to the droid?  I sure miss it.

Try deleting & then reinstalling from the Play Store.

Just loaded the new app, and it seems to just lock up when launched.  Moto X.

From the app's main page you click on the Preferences button to the right (looks like 3 sliders), then from there you can set the cache length that will download over wifi, and then fill and refresh it.
I think that it will then automatically play from the cache, but I have the "Cell Data" option unchecked just in case, since I don't want the data charges.

Also, if I recall correctly, the new features require Android 4.0 and above. My old phone on Gingerbread (2.3) didn't have any of the new features last I checked a couple weeks ago, despite the newest app version.

Bill just mention something about cashing up an hour or so on wifi and listen later

anyone know how? I dl'd the lastest app

Cheers!

12:33 website says Steve Earle, but I'm already on Harry Manx.

I can see in to the future!  Go ahead, ask me what's next on the playlist!!

just something weird - my app is about 1.5 minutes ahead of the playlist here on the website.  at 11:16am central time, Euphoria's Sweet Rain started on my phone, but the playlist here still has Alpinestars listed.

weird - the next song on the website is Toad the Wet Sprocket. But the previous four songs all match.  Weirder and weirder.
edit - okay, now here is Euphoria on the website, but I'm hearing Eurythmics.  Am i on a cached playlist??  11:23am Central next song up on my app is Julie Miller All My Tears.

I installed the latest version of the android app (3.0.16) a few  week ago and  have had numerous times where there are long (2-5 minute) instances of silence for no apparent reason.  The display still shows a song title and i dont think it is a wifi issue as all my other gear is humming along OK.  I'm using an LG phone with android ver 4.0.3 connected to my home stereo.  It has run flawlessly for at least 6 mths prior to these issues. 

Is anyone else seeing this? Any other thoughts

This is not a big problem really, but when I run the RP app on my Samsung tablet, it does not seem to recognize my user name and password.  The RP site recognizes them when I open it in a browser on that tablet but the music player app doesn't seem to.  This is really only a problem if I want to use the PSD, but I don't use it that much, especially on the tablet.  Since it's a 7" tablet, I thought maybe I was just punching in the wrong letters on the little keys, but I've tried it several times.  I'll try again later when my fingers get skinnier.  The stream and buffering work very well.
Thanks
