Echo plays the wrong song/band - how do I fix this?
« on: August 01, 2017, 06:35:38 pm »
So I have a love/hate relationship with my echo(s). I primarily use them for music playing and they generally do a good job, but not all the time. I am regularly running into issues with the song/album/band that gets played when I request it. For example, if I ask it to play Lamb (a British elctronica band), I always get back Lamb of God (a heavy metal band).

Spotify definitely has Lamb on it, because I can choose it from the app on my phone. So why/how does it play completely the wrong thing?

Voice control (vs selecting text) is no perfect as you have discovered.

I had this issue with the rock band Rainbow. Everytime I asked to play their most popular songs I got songs by The Rainbow Collections which are cover versions of nursery rhymes. I submitted feedback and a few weeks later the problem was fixed.
The alternative is to ask for a specific album or make a playlist.
