I use it more than other streaming services these days, and I appreciate that I don't have to think about what to play next! 3
MAXXX Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 I'm big fan of RP , listening on multiple devices.... My PayPal account is set for monthly donations directly to RP...better way to do it than one -off donations (IMHO). 3

lebowski Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 I found this interesting to see how many listeners currently streaming RP around the world. 333 listeners in Australia doesn’t sound like a lot however per capita it’s pretty good. Take a look - 1

lebowski Posted January 8, 2024 Posted January 8, 2024 does anyone know what the big announcement is about? William has suggested it has something to do with a company with a fruit type logo and RP. Not sure if this is good or bad, he did say he was unable to speak about it at this stage.
Guest Posted January 8, 2024 Posted January 8, 2024 Donation made on behalf of StereoNET members (and personal note of thanks from us added) to RP. Thanks for your contributions everyone! 8
Guest Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 And a personal thank you from William himself: Quote Just saw your payment come through, and I wanted to add a personal “thank you very much”.

Expand Interesting thanks - at the moment the MQA stream is the same as the CD stream. Not that that will worry some here who prefer straight FLAC rather than MQA. At the moment it is sounding a bit like SomaFM channel "Deep Space One" or "Drone Zone" that I sometimes listen to for ambient chill. But I am still on the first (very long) track so I will see...
vgcr Posted October 11, 2024 Posted October 11, 2024 Just looked at the RP website and it says: Quote Whilst whimsically wandering across the astral plane 42 linear light years ago, a neon purple minor-deva working for the Solar Logos of the Copernican System was directed to take form as a mile high psyber-human and serve this blue sphere we call home. Its direct orders from Helios and Vesta: to assist in ushering in an era where positive energy activates constant elevation. It’s primary motivation would be to facilitate interdimensional wormholes that help the resident beings of a particular space transcend the slowing down of light (matter), and come to a place of timelessness where they get to explore and discover little bits of themselves they didn’t realize existed....thus, allowing love to flow freely and make its way out to every entity in the surrounding multiverse. This would be accomplished by traveling across the universe, recording the sounds of celestial objects, and gifting them to the humans of Earth for the sake of aural stimulation. Rule 42 hopes you enjoy these transcendental auditory moments, and may you utilize them for the power of good. Remember - Don’t panic, and definitely don’t forget your towel. Expand
aussievintage Posted October 11, 2024 Posted October 11, 2024 Glad this thread popped up. I introduced a friend to RP accidentally a few days ago, because I left it (RP Rock) playing in the background when they came to visit. They commented on the good music, so I told them where it came from. They have been trying it out and like it. He did ask how they funded the station - but I don't know the answer to that. 1

frankn Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 Thank you for reminding me of RP. I’ve just switched it on. Main mix : Lucinda Williams came on. Great.

AudioGeek Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 Switched over to the global/world mix this week. It was the same playlists the last time I tried about 6 months ago. Interesting, as the main mix is not repetitive.
