I'm still using my original Squeezebox with the plugin for Logitech Media Server running on an old laptop... Listening right now as it happens....

Same here. I listen to Radio Paradise through my Squeezebox Touch via the LMS plug in on my Synology NAS. Dead simple, dead good.

My Squeezebox Touch is the one item of equipment that I really couldn't do without. My best buy ever.

Similarly, I have RP into my Raspberry Pi set up using the plugin. Almost everything will need this plugin because RP has chosen a less than conventional route to stream lossless music files. Nevertheless, well worth it when set up.

Thanks for Toontrev for starting this thread. Had never heard of Radio Paradise before reading but now have a few happy hours listening under my belt. Huge amount of stuff I'd never heard before - a great deal of which was very much my cup of tea.

Now i am back home i want to try it through my system and really find out how good the SQ is via Wifi, but dont know how to. I stream Qobuz and my ripped CDs through the BubbleUp App and microRendu. I suspect there could be a simple solution, but i am a bit of a tech numpty. :-?
After over two years on the back burner I can now stream RP through my main system. :grin: I contacted BubleUp tech support who advised that it was a matter of copying the web addresses of the RP mixes and setting up saved play lIsts for them in BU. I am very impressed with the sound quality. To my ears it is a little laid back compared to Qobuz, but does not lose anything. The only real down side is that the BU app can't tell you the song being played. To find this out you need to refresh the RP app. I think their rock mix will enable me to find new music. Do not use You Tube for this purpose as I am put off by the sound quality.
