Hooray!  And It's working here at this listener's place, too.  Thanks for getting to the bottom of things — after a couple of back-n-forth emails with the TuneIn people, they just told me it wasn't their issue to fix.

Thanks!

Likewise.  I got a response from their support team yesterday to do a Radio Paradise search on the TuneIn app on my Alexa smartphone app (whew!)  Hit the Play button, and selected my everywhere group, and it played on both devices.  Now, the voice command seems to be working properly.

It works!
 

I've had a lot of interaction with one of their support people today. They've asked for me to try all sorts of tests that seem to be completely unrelated to the voice control not working as expected, but I guess they're trying to rule out bad data for the actual stations. The problem is some change they've made in their search results that ranks a long string like "Radio Paradise 105.1 FM" as a higher match for "Radio Paradise" than "Radio Paradise". Go figure.... probably sorting search results by date or something stupid and this new station is... newer. So that's what Alexa picks first.

I really don't get how tagging the "zero" onto the end makes it work, but I was happy that I found it and it's good enough for now. I give it even odds that TuneIn does anything to fix this because I'd guess the engineers breaking the code don't want to be told it's broken by an online support person. But maybe I'm just being a cynic...

I've seen this issue for about a week now, and submitted a couple of videos and documentation to TuneIn support.  They seem to be proactive, but we'll see.  BTW, RP Main Mix plays on one device if I say "Alexa, play Radio Paradise."  If I say "Alexa, play Radio Paradise everywhere," (for two devices), then the other weird Radio Paradise 105.1 plays on both devices.  Also, I'm not sure how they get away with claiming to have a frequency of 105.1 for their station, since that FM frequency is non-existent in Cape Coral or surrounding communities in Florida.

My Alexa is most on consistent when I use:

Play Radio Paradise Main Mix on Tunein

Play Radio Paradise Mellow Mix on Tunein

etc.

 
My echo devices — no matter how enunciated I say it — always play the Mellow Mix.

Also: the 105.1FM conflict continues, today.

Listening to RP on a multiroom Amazon echo group,  through the TuneIn skill — done this scores of times with no problems.

Today,  the TuneIn skill plays only "Radio Paradise 105.1-FM  from 's TuneIn", and I  cannot figure out how to Not play that station.

Is there a workaround?

 

Looks like an error in TuneIn's directory. I've contacted them.

"Play Radio Paradise Main Mix" *should* work, but plays our Mellow Mix instead.
