I’m really grateful that Paste and Daytrotter have come together to offer this terrific collection of music for free. Thank you. What I hope comes next are improvements to the app. Most importantly, the way audio playback has been implemented seems super janky. Specifically, when playing over AirPlay, there’s no ability to control volume. When playing via AirPlay to AppleTV, the screen is blacked out and any use of the Apple remote stops playback. This severely limits use of the app for me. Secondly, please add the ability to share links to songs and concerts. I want to share and I’d bet you want users to help spread the app.

I had listened and subscribed to Daytrotter years ago. Great to see they are still going and now have this app. Problem is the search function doesn’t work, anything I type to search says “Sorry, no results for ...”. I even searched Tame Impala and it said this. Basically limits the Daytrotter sessions to the ones shown in the featured page when they actually have a much deeper catalog.

I can’t argue with the breadth of the music archive or the quality of the shows. But, I don’t see any Fast Forward feature, and as far as I can tell, there’s no way to download shows for offline listening. And I can’t use it on Sonos. All three of these features would improve its utility greatly.

The amount of music in this thing is ridiculous! There’s no way I’ll ever be able to listen to all of it, but I’m gonna try...

Whenever I click on the app it crashes automatically. This is my all time favorite to listen to Mahalia Jackson’s performances. I would love to listen to them again.

Remember when Daytrotter was cool? And good? Well not anymore because Paste killed it. I miss downloading sessions, I miss the write ups, I miss the artwork, I miss the new sessions every week, and I miss that crazy good subscription deal where you got a free vinyl every year AND the online streaming/downloads. Now it’s just ads and Paste.
