Thank you for updated app, especially the cache features…

Thank you for updating the app! Now I can see how much time is left for downloaded content. Woooooo!

Uninstalling and reinstalling did not work. Did it a few times with no joy. I went back and looked at my notes on iOS from some meetings I was in with Apple about securing iPhones... Uninstalling can sometimes leave debris behind, particularly where there are app to app interactions (across containers), like would happen with the RP app and CarPlay. That was clearly what I was experiencing. After uninstall/reinstall I was still having the same problem with the app getting preemptively shut down by iOS - I swear I could hear a popping sound (and I'm sure that was imagined, but the crash was that abrupt which is a sign of iOS killing the app.) That was my clue on what to try next. Rebooting an iPhone - powering it down and then powering it back up - causes iOS to do a bunch of integrity checks and cleanup of orphan data, and it rechecks/repairs the integrity of its own apps.

So, I did an uninstall. Rebooted the phone. Then did a fresh install. And suddenly everything worked. Even better, I'd been having issues with CarPlay general reliability for the last few months, while I was struggling with the RP app problems, that I blamed on Mazda's crappy CarPlay integration. CarPlay was unstable even if I wasn't using RP's app and it was uninstalled. Just as RP's app is rock solid now, CarPlay is back to rock solid. So there's some cruft left behind from the unstable versions of the app that doesn't get cleaned up by an uninstall and reinstall that can even affect CarPlay, unless you do an iPhone hard reboot in between.

The comments on this Sweet song are lit up over it being a re-recording, not the original version.

What?

It certainly could be that, as the playlists are very different from what they were a few years ago. It could also be due to broadcast software, and we could only know that for sure if the flac streams were guaranteed bit-perfect from the source. Either way, it would be good if at least one stream had sound quality as a priority - or at least weed out the really bad tracks.

Unfortunately seems to be some ongoing issues.   Uninstalling and reinstalling might help if the update left something corrupted.  Has helped for some people.

Are you sure it's not just the songs themselves? There seems to be a trend to crush vocal tracks with hard limiters these days. Quite a few recent songs are already messed up during mastering. I guess it's the next thing now that everyone is getting bored of the vocoders and pitch shifters.

Log out and log back in and restart app. Worked for me. 

HELP. Current version of app crashes in seconds after opening unless I’m accessing in CarPlay. So I can’t download, can’t change options , can’t do anything. This is crazy making. There’s no shame in a roll back, have done a few in my life managing IT organization s .

I also agree, I think they are still tweaking this new app version, I have a feeling it will return soon…

I agree. That item is still missing.  I hope it returns in the near future.

The average sound quality of RP seems to have got a lot worse since the changes. From what I can see, the cause is hard limiting. Either a high proportion of recently added tracks are really bad, or something nasty is happening between original track and server. I used to listen to RP streams for hours, but now I find it's not long before I switch to better-sounding sources just to give my ears a rest.

Mine still does not show how much time or how many songs are left in downloaded content.

IOS version 9.2 just arrived on the App Store four hours ago. It has added the ability to access downloads from the main CarPlay screen. Thanks, RP. To be safe, I logged out of the RP App, logged back in and restarted my phone then re-added some download cache. After that all worked fine. This makes my RP experience now perfect.
