They have 2 options, main mix and jazz, both lossless and excellent recordings as you would expect from Naim. Hit me up for the url if you need to manually input it. Yes, I listen to that, and also Linn radio

They have some bad days of course and if you listen as often as I do you'll here some rotation going on but I've discovered a lot of new artists there. One thing you wont hear is new Australian artists but if you like old ones like the Oils, Ivor Davies the Church and Crowded you know who, then you'll hear them quite often. Not a lot of British stuff but for easy on the ear stuff it's hard to beat. Oh, and for all the non Roon, non Foobar, non Poweramp ect people who perhaps rely on old faithfull VLC like me, well no need to do anything as it's just sitting there in the 'Icecast' Radio directory. VLC has a list of literally thousands and I stop counting after a while and just did a search in the app and up pops Radio Paradise in more than one guise too. I just saw this- Evil C ! That’s not Clive L ( well known Sydney muso ) is it? I couldn’t work out how to search for a member Edited April 12, 2023 by Peterbean Info 1

PicoWattson Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 ..and then there is RadioBlues Flac all at 16/44.1 as the name suggests. 1
PicoWattson Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Unfortunately RP (all 4 genres) and Naim ( both genres) have a limited repeat cycle and I'm bored with the repetition. Why they don't change their playlist more frequently is beyond me and it is now downgraded to elevator music. However Frequence3 World Music is a breath of fresh air. Great programming new wide ranging format to keep me interested and a very big repeat cycle that I haven't yet found the overlap. Edited May 26, 2023 by PicoWattson
sakabatou Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 I came across this podcast today, which could be of interest to RP fans https://www.ecoustics.com/podcasts/radio-paradise-william-goldsmith/ 1
figjam Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 Has the gapless playback only just started, or have I not been paying attention all this time?

PicoWattson Posted August 18, 2023 Posted August 18, 2023 JB Radio Toronto always drops out at the end of each song? I then have to kick start it again, every time on both devices in two separate systems. (volumio on RPi)

They just seem to get it. Same, been listening to it for a couple of years now, mentioned it on SNA a few times, not paying streaming companies for music, though I do donations to RP and no ads at all. I have it on all day every day for me "Mellow Mix" (flac quality), and yes they do they get it right, even the next song seems to lead in from the previous one "emotionally/tunefully", even though from completely different artists. When I hear something I want to own the album of for the "man cave's big system", I go look for the least compressed CD issue of it on DRDB, then buy it used on Gumtree or eBay used for around $5.

Cheers George agree, RP gets it right with their mixes. I listen mostly to their Main Mix in FLAC, in the car and at home every day. Have donated a couple of times and probably about time I did it again. It’s a terrific station to discover new and old music, I screenshot the artist and then listen to more of them on a streaming service, and sometimes buy the album. 2
lebowski Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Thanks @georgehifi your post prompted me to make another donation to RP. Radio Paradise reminds me of Double J when it became Triple J. No commercial interests, just playing great music. Some here might remember in the early days of Triple J when the Announcers had full control of their playlist, that was when they were at their best. At one point they were the only station in the world to be playing NWA - F the Police. I remember it always ended with the station taken off air for some time, so all you had was silence. Not long after this I think the ABC decided not to let the Announcers program their own music and from there it’s been a steady decline in my opinion. Edited August 19, 2023 by lebowski Typo 1

Agreed. 2JJ (at night off a long-wire antenna) and early JJJ were really good. Current Double J on DAB/TV/Internet Radio is still OK. I listen to that & SBS Chill when I'm up in the Wimmera visiting Mum. On the odd occasion I tune in to JJJ these days, I find the music relatively dull and the banal banter and overuse of listener's messages off-putting.
wolster Posted August 22, 2023 Author Posted August 22, 2023 Another feature of RP that is much appreciated is that you can skip a track if you don't like it. Not sure how many other internet radio stations have that feature. 1

Listening to this for a couple of years had no idea that you could do that, not that I ever needed to 99.9% of the time, but it's handy now to know for that .1% that doesn't do it for you.

Kretinburger Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 I wish I had a can of beer for every person I have recommended RP to. Could start a brewery. 3
vgcr Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Hi Neo I don't know anything about Naim ndx, but look at https://radioparadise.com/listen/stream-links you can select the channel (main/mellow/rock/global) and the bitrate (probably FLAC or FLAC+metadata for hifi listeners) and it will show you the URL. with any luck you are able to paste or copy the link into your streamer? Looking at the Naim site it mentions "vTuner 5* full-service internet radio" but I don't know what that is - I use a Bluesound streamer and it has integrated Radio Paradise (both FLAC and MQA so you can choose one or the other or compare them etc.). hth and cheers Geoff R
vgcr Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) OK searching for "Radio Paradise" at https://vtuner.com/setupapp/guide/asp/BrowseStations/Searchform.asp only shows 192K and 320K streams for RP which seems odd given RP has had a lossless FLAC option for a few years now. Edited September 10, 2023 by vgcr
Neo Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Success? Description reads eclectic rock. Not keen on that, is there a single RP station? Neo
vgcr Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 I mainly listen to the mellow mix. There are 4 channels: Your screen shot show "Main Mix" which I understand is a combination of the other three. Also you are on a 320kb stream so lossy, but high quality lossy. Only you can determine which channel is your preferred type of music and whether the 320kb is "good enough". cheers Geoff R
