Title: Tunein radio
Post by: ensco72 on April 24, 2018, 03:22:20 pm

Hi,
Have asked Alexa to play radio Caroline but for some reason it keeps saying 'there is a problem with that' even though I can access and play it through my laptop. I have had to add Radio Player as a skill to enable me to listen to this station through radioplayer cannot understand what the problem is!!!!!   Help!!!

Yo often need to us a station's CALL LETTERS, not its nickname.

“Alexa, play Radio Caroline from TuneIn” works for me.
Mike, not every country uses call letters...

Recently I've found that with some stations (not the BBC) I have to make sure I actually say PLAY or I get the same response you did.

Adding the FM frequency can help with UK stations.
