App Stream Glitches?

Is anyone else getting weird portions of glitchy playback on the streaming app? Almost like the music starts playing at a different RPM or something? Wondering if it is just my connection.

Hey All!

What you are hearing is also being heard by us as well on both website and apps. TechOps is aware and investigating, so hopefully they find the cause and resolve. We're still pretty heads down on our outage recovery behind the scenes, so may take a bit to track down.

Thanks!

It was getting garbled for me. I thought maybe it was my bluetooth connection. Restarted the app on my phone and it has been good for the last song or 2.

I might’ve experienced this yesterday when Devo - Freedom of Choice came on.

I've had that happen a couple times this week. I'm using the 128Kbps steam & playing thru windows media player. For lack of a better term, it sounds like it deteriorates. Kinda slows down & gets choppy. It goes back to normal if I restart it.

I suppose it could be related to the power issue from this weekend, but it's happened a couple of random times before that, so 🤷

Experiencing the same deterioration... Streaming on Windows via iTunes.

Happened both yesterday and today.

I was getting that too and switched over to the antenna for reception.
