Shop music iPad is too old for the app.
Have accessed it by going online.
How do I make the music play from this screen.? If I press LISTEN it goes to back homepage.

Works for me on a current iPad running iOS 12 without the Sounds App installed. Are you connected to bluetooth or something and if you disconnect / disable does it change anything?
There's a playlist on Spotify called "Richard Searling's Northern Soul" if you have it.
my ipad is also too old for the app (think it's limited to ios 9.something)
Sounds on the browser is really flakey, i'll get a screen somewhat similar to above, after thinking about it for a bit, a play button appears... sometimes
I have the same issue. Use an old iPad for Radio… will, I used to.
Does sound like flakey browser issues. Have a quick look on here and ask yourselves if you think you've had VFM

I've recently replaced an iPad 2 from about 2012 as it became unusable - pretty happy with 6-7 years though. Recently I've had two refurbs I've been delighted with - you'd have no clue they hadn't come straight from the factory.
