Anyone else think the Main Mix is far less interesting than it was a year ago?
Late reply, but yes. I especially miss the sprinkling of some familiar big hits oldies in between all the cool and interesting new and old music.
Much though I love Radio Paradise, I find myself listening less often to the two main channels I use - the Main Mix and the Mellow Mix. And that while I have some music playing almost day and night.
Thing is, I'm not the only one who has noticed the change. In the past I had visitor after visitor comment on the station, asking me what I listen to - mostly because they liked the great mix of music. Nowadays that rarely happens.
I just read William's email in which he explains his current approach to the Main Mix. That just underlined it for me. Even though I still listen, and I still tell people about it, I have a sense of loss. And increasingly I find myself reaching for my own eclectic mix of music.
It never fails. Whenever I hear a song I haven't heard before, or want to read the lyrics of or whatever, the playlist is stuck several songs back and stubbornly refuses to update.

I'm late to this thread, but I COMPLETELY agree that the Main Mix has undergone changes that have watered down the appeal. I can only think this is because others are now more involved in picking/choosing/programming the music. I don't mind obscure—in fact, that was the original appeal of RP—-but there are far too many just plain average songs thrown in lately.
Before reading this thread, I was having the exact same thoughts (once again). Apart from "nothing new" which comprises all sorts of latest additions - especially those don't make it for NEW, INTERESTING, much less for ECLECTIC with very few exceptions - the rest has been listened to more than enough... the overall goal seems mainstream (maelstroem) anymore.... so, what else to say?!
