Help please: wife struggling to use echo
« on: December 27, 2017, 03:27:18 pm »
Hi,

Bought a 2nd gen echo for my wife, for Xmas.  Using unlimited music with echo plan.

My wife has just a few things she wants to play, but echo seems to misunderstand just these few things.  These are the specific things she wants:

"Play Aesthetic Perfection" (a band)
"Play M'era Luna FM" (a streaming radio)
"Play Mesh" (a band)

Neither of us can get Alexa to do what we want here.

Any help very welcome.

I got by using:  Alexa play the band Aesthetic Perfection
                        Alexa, play the band Mesh   (Alexa seemed to say, "playing the band Mash" but I could tell for sure
                         Could not call up the FM station with any arrangement of words.  Alexa could not recognize it.

                 You could try these out, and see what happens.  Not my kind of music, so I couldn't tell if it is what you
                  wanted

You may need to do Voice Training in Settings.

I got all three the first time with my Google Home
I got #1 on the first try with Alexa
I couldn't get #2 or #3 with Alexa (saying it exactly as you quoted and didn't try any other way of saying it)
Your wife must be DECADES younger than me! LOL
