Working now... for now

Its not just Sonos, but I can't express how much it pisses me off when companies make changes that are solely designed to produce new revenue streams, with no benefit to the users.

I briefly talked to these guys about a job when they opened their Seattle offices. Even then they were all about how to monetize vs. how to improve. They weren't really inspired by music and my discussion of old school stereo modification didn't really click with them. I declined when they said parking would cost me $400 / month.

Is anyone else not able to listen to their favorites on the original Sonos app on Android? I've reauthorized my account but it's still not working. I'm able to play the Main Mix and others, just not Favorites. I get this error:

Unable to play 'Two Tribes' - unable to connect to audio-geo.radioparadise.com. ...and it continues to just run through the playlist showing this error for each song.

Welp, it's working now.

Here to report that I can play RP through the just released Sonos app.

Just about nothing else works except streaming, and many people are having problems with that. They estimate they will have a fix so I can play music from my music library in a month or so. It is unclear if it will be able to do it without an internet connection.

One of the main reasons I only have one speaker is that I thought the old app was crap. They have outdone themselves.

Oh, and they forced the update to the new apps and you can't roll back to the old ones. CEO says users are a bunch of whingers.

Yes, the "new" headphones with sound waves. The old instantiation had the classic round RP logo, just odd.

I used those links to add it back in and it down works. This morning when I restarted RP this morning it now has meta data. Woo-hoo!

Now the only thing annoying is when I click on it from the Sonos Favorites button, I get a voice advertise for 30 secs and then it joins RP. Since I can't remember how I added RP to Sonos 2ish years ago, I haven't poked around at looking for it on tunein or sonos radio to avoid the ads. That said, the add only happen once when I hit the play button and then RP plays continuously.

Thanks,

Just to follow-up. If you add RP with the URL on Sonos, you will get a 20-30 sec advertisement every time you hit play. However, if you add RP as a "music service" and authorize Sonos to use your RP account, no add and you get the album covers as well. Everything is now back to normal. ;^)

Do you mean the "new" headphones with sound/wifi waves? Just curious...
Also, you can generate stream URLs with metadata here https://radioparadise.com/list...

Same problem, been working for two years and this morning, no joy. I notice that the old RP logo was gone and now the "modern" art-deco one replaced it, which I'm not a fan of. Oh well.

I deleted the the current channels and just pulled the URL link off the site an added it manually. I got a weird voice add or two for about 45 secs and now it back to playing. However, the song information no longer appears in the sonos app. (grrrrr).

I have reauthorised my RP account in the sonos app but still no joy.
all other channels work OK....
any thoughts?

I'm sorry. We had an outage with one of our servers that broke RP across most devices. It should be restored at this point. Please let me know if you continue to have issues.

We are sorry for the short outage!

Is there a way to rate RP songs playing through the Sonos App? How do people rate what they are / have been listening to?

I see play History in my profile. Does that follow all streams and unique to what my login played? Thanks!

Yeah the best way at the moment is to go to the play history section on your profile page.
That is unique to you and covers all devices that you can login to.

Just keep in mind that list gets reset occasionally.

Posting here to bring the topic to the top... Any other Sonos users out there who are really missing the old website where the song "Info" page could track along with whatever was playing on your Sonos (even if songs were skipped)?

Yep. It now works perfectly. i have been listening to RP favorites for the past 4 days, almost non stop, and hardly heard a song repeated. It's also encouraged me to go back and rank more songs.

jarro wrote:

Thanks for pointing that out. Favorites can now play all day and night. Plus the glitches with song transitions should be fixed. At least haven't noticed any over past few hours.

scrubbrush wrote:

Favorites works great. Plays only songs that I've ranked 7 or higher. I have well over 1000 songs ranked 7+. Brilliant. I knew that ranking all those songs would pay off someday.

The only issue I've found is that Favorites only seems to play 10 to 15 songs and then stops... i have to keep restarting it...

I think they mean discrete files as oppposed to local. You still can't add the flac streams via their TuneIn service. But services can play flac files. As long it meets their supported specs.

Flac should be available now. If you're not seeing it, may need to close and restart the app.

The timing is off on the metadata and skipping, hope to have that sorted over the next week or two.

The Sonos firmware update has now been released. So far the bitrate options for the RP Sonos music service have not changed. Any news when FLAC will become available as a streaming option?

My understanding is that FLAC will be available after an upcoming Sonos firmware update. Everything is in place at our end.
