A new Alexa annoyance before playing music.

[joshsimpson79]

In the last couple of days when playing music, Alexa will now say something like this, "Playing Everlong, by the Foo Fighters, starting now."

Why do I need to know that it's starting now, just like she's starting a timer?  Has this started for anyone else?

I know there's nothing I can do, other than sending feedback, but it's a little redundant.

I know it's not first world problems, but this is an Echo message board.

I just did a test to see if that announcement happens when I give a music song request.  Happens only when the music is from my library.  Didn't do it with your Foo Fighters song. But did as you say when I asked for Hallelujah by KD Lang i.e. playing.... from your library.
