I have no experience with the multi-room pair. Anybody else tried that?

I have just installed a pair of new Echos (part of the bundle with a sub that isn’t released yet) as a multi room pair (hopefully to become a 2.1 set when the firmware is updated) but when I try to use the RP skill I get the reply “Sorry I am having trouble accessing the Radio Paradise skill right now”. Is this an incompatibility with the latest Echo firmware (613509320)  or with the multi room pair?

It just stops.

We stream music from Amazon and local radio stations with no problem, so I'm guessing it's not our connectio/WFI/etc.

I'll make a point to listen to RP on ours for a long time tomorrow... haven't noticed anything tho. Does it just stop, or does it stutter/stop then start playing again?

How come our Echo (Alexa) keeps dropping RP?

The skill is working and sounding great for me on my Sonos One too!  Only problem I am having now is when I ask Alexa to skip, she actually goes backwards one song.   So say I'm rocking out to Everlong, but then Stars Die comes on after it and I immediately say "Alexa, skip!",  I'm back to rocking out to Everlong, which is OK but not what i was hoping for.  But then Stars Die comes back on again which is what I was trying to skip in the first place.  

any ideas?

Not currently. That'll be included in the next update (which will be pushed out automagically). We'll announce it when it happens.

Yes, works in FLAC too, nice.  Now, is there any way to switch channels via Alexa, or to set my default channel to "RP mellow"?

That's really great! A while ago you were mentioning to be working on making the RP Alexa skill available in other countries as well. Unfortunately, it is still not available in the German Alexa Skill Store yet. Any update on that?

I've confirmed that the RP skill now works with Sonos One.  Sounds awesome, too. I posted a blurb on the main site home page about it.

Sweet. I'll check that out.

Since its been a couple of months since last time i tried, and there's been a Sonos firmware update in between I figured i'd give it another try, and guess what, it works now!     or was there an update to the RP Alexa skill that fixed this?

either way, now i can skip Porcupine Tree every time i need to, no matter what device i'm listening on!

Our new almost-here-as-a-beta (really, this time) web player has a mode that tracks playback on any device on your local network (or logged in to your RP account) - showing song info or the slideshow, but letting the other player do the audio.

That should do exactly what you want.

How come sometimes the playlist on the laptop and what's actually playing on Echo are in sync and other times... not so much?

good marketing strategy for Amazon I guess, keep everybody dissatisfied with competing hardware to make us want to buy a real Echo.  The "Alexa Enabled" label is confusing though and making me think that Alexa is broken and not my hardware.
