Could you guys make a desktop web page like what used to be on "/music/what-is-playing/info?" This showed playlist current and history in the left column, another column for song info (album cover, rating, and wikish content), another column for lyrics, and the far right column for listener song comments. Not sure that all columns are necessary, but at least the playlist, song info, and user comments was wonderful. And this page updated automatically, showing that data for the current song. However, if I clicked on a song, the page remained static until I clicked again on the current page. It worked quite well. And it stayed updated for hours and hours.
Can that page (and other pages) be rendered without the player? Or at least not make me initiate the player on the page. I stream RP from a local server and don't use the player on the website. As a not-developer, seems having the player object be selectable as an option would be a good thing.
Edit: Apparently, this page now does everything in the first item above: https://radioparadise.com/player/info/main-mix. However it doesn't seem to auto-refresh upon a change in songs. Perhaps it only changes if I have the player on the page playing?
Somewhat more significant feature request: Can you link the Artist, Album, and/or Track for the current song from the Now Playing page? In the left column, you can click past songs to get the big popup, but not the song on right now. Relatedly, the track and artist (and the word "Comments") have a pointer cursor, but do not appear to be clickable.
Extremely insignificant feature request: On the new homepage, where you show the listener counts of each station, can you add digit separators for the thousands groups? (Congrats on thousands of listeners!)
That info is really neat. I'm not a Mellow listener, but I'm tempted now to check it out. (Go KFAT!)

William, can you please do something about this gentleman with multiple screen names and put him out of all of our misery? Thank you for your attention to this matter!
It is a blue affair, because we can't see what is blacked out with black fonts on black background.
A such a smart move of the new RP developers. Believe me! Drink sandwatered Matcha... it is the future of mankind.
Links in Song Comments are white, just like the rest of the text, but only in some places.
If I click the song title in the browser player at the bottom, the links are white but go gray on mouseover.
Any other route to song comments, links are in blue.
Clicking my profile and looking at my song comments: Blue
Clicking the artist and seeing all comments: Blue
I'm basically batting 1000 for never getting anyone to answer my questions or address my concerns here on RP, but I guess I'll try again.
It would be nice if they'd say "we're on it" or "can't do it" even without any explanation as to why. Just fixing it or ignoring it and not saying anything is an interesting experiment though.
Update to my previous comment regarding My Paradise channel: I've checked a minute ago, and the channel is added, cache block downloads with no problem, all clear. Thanks for the fix. As for the other issues, I hope they will be solved soon. Cheers!
I'm basically batting 1000 for never getting anyone to answer my questions or address my concerns here on RP, but I guess I'll try again. Regarding this new layout change, I am still unable to see any track information (for example, the date when the song was posted, the length, the band name, song name, the lyrics, the band info, etc.) on the Radio Paradise app. I'm using an Android phone (Moto G Stylus 2024). When I click on the song image that's currently playing and it takes me to the page with the band info, song info, listener comments, everything is blacked out, except for the images for the song. Scrolling down the page, it's all black until I see an image of the band/artist, but no band info (blacked out). I continue scrolling down, then thankfully, the comments show up. It's like half of the page is redacted!
I'm a long-time listener and supporter (since 2007) and I've always preferred using the phone app. Is there anyone looking into this?
A few days ago I noticed that the song info, in RP app, is making some errors. Namely, the song info + lyrics + artist bio has blackened text, while the comments can be read. So today I've deinstalled the app, installed it again, and the same error persists + there is another error: there is no My Paradise option in cache block downloads.
Any info would be appreciated.
Best regards,
C.
P.S.
Now I see that even the Profile page on the website has changed: all I see is profile picture, no other info whatsoever?! Wow, I guess there are some big changes going on on the site ATM.
P.P.S.
Another error I'm seeing now, also in RP app: after downloading a cache block and start playing music, the main page does not have an indicator that I've already rated a song, but when I click on the song and check the song info page the rating is there.
Weird. Nothing similar ever happened, and I've been around here for quite some time. Hoping that RP Tech Squad will sort these problems soon.
I really miss the artist info on the song page. I hope all that will come back, along with track length and other albums/songs (that feature hasn't worked for quite a long time). TBH, I would prefer less "pretty" and more "useful" in page design.
(Mac, Chrome) If I'm playing music, the tab shows the song. If I've just come to RP and haven't hit Play, it shows the page title.
I'm on Windows: Chrome. I'm playing music through my Alexa devices, but I keep the website open on my PC for the playlist. It used to give me the song in the tab title even without playing music through the site. If I'm doing something on another browser tab, it's great to be able to see at a glance. I would never have thought to request that as a feature, but since it always used to be the case, I see now how much I relied on it. It seems like something easy to overlook when redesigning the site, but if it's easy to reinstate, I hope it happens.
Are you bringing back the currently playing song title in the browser tab title (instead of the page title, which is there now)? I found that so useful for a quick glance.
I'd post a screenshot, but I don't have anywhere to upload it to provide a link.

Thank you for the latest version with multi-column. There are still a number of issues.
The ScrollToRefresh popup (when the song changes and the comments have been moved) is quite clumsy. Refresh should simply be a button. The lock icon was fine...why change it? Add a caption for clarity.
Slide show still doesn't work in Vivaldi/Win11. Song info displays, but no show just black screen.
