    Radio Paradise listeners....

    I don't seem to be able to stream this radio station on my Sonos? Anyone else the same? It's my favourite listen 🤔

    Loud and clear through my streamer (Not Sonos)

    Weird, I had it stored as a favourite on Tune in Radio. When I select it on Sonos it all shows correctly, I press play and it reverts back to play icon again. My Amazon Echo 8 won't play it either just says it's unavailable.

    Doesn't work on Sonos Radio but seems to work on TuneIn.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Try it direct on your laptop or phone.

    https://radioparadise.com/player

    Reset the Sonos and Echo, there may have been some glitch, turning things off and back on again actually works most of the time

    Sonos are not mentioned on the "How to Listen" page so it's a fair bet it's not supported:

    The new Sonos stations list it. I've selected it, stored it in my favourites, but still doesn't play. Can't find it in Tune In Radio because they want £90.99 per year subscription even though I downloaded the free version?
    Lost with this one totally.😕

    Same. Been listening to Radio Paradise on Sonos all during lockdown but now it’s stopped working - comes up on the list, just won’t play

    Just tried searching for Radio Paradise in Sonos and the standard station is gone. Rock mix, World mix and Mellow mix are all there and work

    Can't find those in the Sonos Stations either.
    I've looked for the World mix under World but can't see it.
    Stupid there's no search function.

    FWIW, from RP's FAQ:


    RP is repeating itself on my Sonos speaker system

    Sometimes our Alexa skill will repeat blocks of songs when used on Sonos speaker systems. We're working on a fix for this.

    The command "Alexa ask Radio Paradise to sync" should reset things. If the problem recurs, you can use "Alexa, play Radio Paradise on TuneIn". Unfortunately, that means that advanced features like song skipping won't be available
    .

    Thanks Ralphy, tried that no luck. Just says RP is not available on Tune In Radio.

    Radio Paradise listeners....

    Came up on my streamer pin and on tunein as ‘not supported’ although the rock mix is still on tunein. So I contacted RP and had an email back and forth with their support chap who said it’s not of their doing and is most likely some sort of copyright issue @ tunein. RP say they are working to get it resolved.

    Should also say that my streamer pin is actually pinned to the tunein stream so I’d expect any device similarly pinned to tunein will have the same issue.

    For anyone missing RP since it's been removed from tunein try this:

    Open a text editor
    Paste in the following:

    #EXTM3U
    #EXTINF:-1,[RP;flac] Radio Paradise FLAC
    http://icy-8.radioparadise.com/flac


    Save the file with a .m3u extension
    Move the file into the default content directory in the network source used by your streamer
    Your streaming client should now see a playlist called radio paradise
    Open the playlist and you should be able to connect to and play the RP FLAC stream

    This worked for me using minimserver but should work for anything that recognises and plays .m3u playlists
