Hi John

You can download the BETA by typing #beta at the end of the text string in the browser when you hit UPDATE FIRMWARE on the Manic Moose GUI.

Hello James - the BDP-3 looks very impressive. Radio Paradise is a great station - long-term supporter.

Question: How do Spotify subscribers use the BDP-3? Does it appear as an available device within the Sptofy app?

Hi

Not sure on Spotify on the BDP3. We have it on all the BryFi products and Wireless speakers.

I will check with Chris Rice.

I think Spotify subscribers would have to use AirPlay. The BDP does not have Spotify Connect.

I was listening to Radio Paradise on my new Bluesound Node 2i, yesterday.
It's one of the best streaming sources I've heard. It sounded really, really good.
Highly Recommended for anyone streaming... and it's free.
I wasn't going to bother with it because the app has only 2 mixes one can stream, as far as I could tell. But I listened to it and after a few songs I was hooked, based on sound quality alone.

Hey Christian - glad you like Radio Paradise.
While free, it is listener supported - I donate a very modest amount each year - completely up to you, just FYI.

Trivia: where does the Paradise in Radio Paradise come from?

Christian - You're likely hearing the difference between RP's new lossless FLAC level sound quality compared to the more common types of lossy streaming. RP did have four mixes available for a short period but have now scaled back to two. I've seen some discussion indicating they were having some issues with the additional streams and may be reworking them.

I cheated so won’t answer.

I am flabbergasted that today is the first and only time I have ever heard of Radio Paradise. It first hit the airways in February of 2000.
