I've been having trouble with the Alexa skill lately, where Radio Paradise does not play any music, or it will play for a while and then stop, with no ability to play new songs. Has anyone else had these problems?

Hi Bill!
I would love to see this skill in Germany. Are there any news yet? Do you need any help for translation or beta testing (if possible)?
Thanks!

It will keep the bitrate setting.

buddy wrote:Jarro, when you invoke RP via Alexa, what service are you getting it from? I just got my Dot and out of the box when I say "Alexa play Radio Paradise" it launches RP via TuneIn Live. None of the Alexa Skill response work with Tune In, I get "I can't skip to the next song on TuneIn Live". I haven't gotten to pairing my Dot with my iPhone, iTunes etc yet. I assume when I do I might be able to say "Alexa, play Radio Paradise via iTunes" or something equivalent. Bill, maybe you could steer me the right direction? *edit: or maybe I could scroll this thread and find out... There's more info in a different thread: RP On Amazon EchoTo get started, just say "Alexa, enable Radio Paradise".
There should be more info in the Alexa app on your device once you enable it.

It's a default Alexa music player command. It doesn't do anything on RP. Nothing useful anyway :-)

I've noticed that when using an external, bluetooth speaker, there will sometimes be a clipping of the first second or so of spoken audio from Alexa. I don't ask "what's playing" too often, but I've noticed it if I ask the time or weather or some other question. It doesn't happen when any spoken response is coming direct from the Echo, but I have an Echo Dot (the little, hockey puck model), so I usually use an external speaker when listening to music. It seems to be a Bluetooth issue, not a particular app.

'Alexa, skip' = play next song 'Alexa, ask Radio Paradise what's playing' does the expected thing — 'Alexa, what's playing?' does not (again, not our choice).
We've added functions for rating songs, but I've been crazy busy & haven't had time to check that out yet.
I'll post a complete command list.

Nearly every voice command I issue results in Alexa saying something like, "Sorry I'm having trouble accessing the Radio Paradise skill right now," which is frustrating because it's evident that Alexa is able to access RP when I ask the "right" questions. I had the darnedest time figuring out that Alexa's error message did not match the error. Alexa should be saying that the command was misunderstood, or that the command did not exist for the RP skill.
After several days of use, I still don't know how to turn off the RP skill when I'm finished listening. The only thing that comes close is, "Alexa stop!!!" whereupon Alexa says, "Radio Paradise is paused." I don't want to pause and resume where I left off. I actually want to stop the RP skill when I'm finished listening.

No doubt there will be some high end audio devices w/ Alexa out before too long. Doesn't have to be from Amazon. It's an open platform, including hardware. I've been using the 320k feed that will supply Alexa devices (& our new web player) for a while now. It sounds kinda spectacular, if I do say so myself.
