I am listening to a group of five Sonos devices all on the most current software. 

Is there anything else you'd like to know?
 


 
I'm seeing three channels with streams "beneath" them now. They are RP 128kb, RP 320kb, and Sync. What is "Sync"?

It's the Main Mix. I do have it set up as a Favorite, but I'm not sure whether it's the Main Mix that's under the "RP 320kb" channel or the "RP Live Streams 320kb" channel.

I love our Sonos system. I got it 2-3 years ago to replace a Bose system that dated back to 2003. We used the Sonos Connect then, to stream stuff. I finally bought a Sound Pad, Sub, and two Sonos Ones. We already had one Sonos One, which now resides in the kitchen. We stream SiriusXM, Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Prime Music, our iTunes libraries, and now RP more easily than before. The Sonos is also a great Surround system for watching TV and movies.

It's currently still in preview.  

There's some info on how to enable depending on the client you are using.

Hi Bill,

Thanks so much for everything!

Then find us on the list.

If you have a Sonos One, make sure to click the 'add' link underneath 'music & content'.

I love that I can add Radio Paradise as a "Music Source" on Sonos now. I can now skip the (very few) songs when I want to. Nice work! I increased my monthly contribution. Thank you. 
{#Good-vibes}


I would like to add a comment about something I miss now — I feel disconnected from the live stream. I visit the RP website frequently (multiple times a day) based on what I'm hearing in the moment. But because I pause overnight, now my playlist falls behind the live list by several hours, then more hours behind after more pauses, etc. It is harder for me to connect with the information and comments on the song I'm hearing.

When I resume play in the morning, I would not mind if the next song (or within the next few songs, or next hour) if my playlist picked up where the current "live" playlist currently is. Then I would stay better connected with the RP info/community, plus I'd have a skip feature. I don't think a casual listener would notice that the playlist "jumped" ahead to the front of the queue.

I took a quick look at the Sonos API (I'm a software guy) — it seems this could be possible by receiving a new 'catalog' value when a user's data gets refreshed. I could be wrong — I didn't dig very deep, but I'm sure your software folk would know: https://developer.sonos.com/build/content-service-get-started/synchronize-your-service/

 

That's pretty much exactly how our system has been set up to operate since an update over the weekend. Once you've paused for more than 5 minutes, and if you're not ahead of the 'live' point (due to skipping), then playback will re-sync with what's playing live. It's working as expected for almost everyone, though I think there might be a Sonos-specific glitch.

Bill just mentioned that Radio Paradise is now available as a Music Service in Sonos, but I'm not seeing it. The previous post in this thread mentioned something about a "preview" service. Is it generally available yet?

For the Alexa route,  my understanding is Tune In  uses the 320kbps streams.   But you can't  change the bitrate.
You can invoke the new mixes like so.

"Alexa play Radio Paradise Mellow Mix  on Tune In"
"Alexa play Radio Paradise Rock Mix on Tune In"
"Alexa play Radio Paradise World Mix on Tune In"

Can leave off "on Tune In"  if you don't have the rp skill installed.

You can add custom streams to tune in but that doesn't seem to support flac for now.

Sonos and Alexa aren't really that tightly coupled.
If you add RP via Alexa it will show up as a skill in the Alexa app.


And there are some issues with the RP skill on Sonos.   The best way to use audio commands for now is to use Tune In
"Alexa play radio paradise using tune in"

and If you disable the Radio Paradise skill.
"Alexa play Radio Paradise"  
should have it start on tune in.

Sorry about the outage. Our master stream server went wonky while I was asleep. All better now.
