Title: Help Needed
Post by: Big Steve on November 22, 2019, 04:55:26 pm

I’m contemplating buying an Echo Dot but am wanting to know If and how I can get Radio Caroline on it.
Any help appreciated

just gave it a try and it works with the simple command "alexa play radio caroline"   

you can also give it a try on your smartphone if you have amazon music app installed.  or you can go ahead and install the alexa app and give the command from it.  no other device needed

Thanks for your reply Renegade.
 I’m leaning toward getting one but me and modern technology are not very compatible.
Someone told me that initially I’d have to type in the URL for Caroline but I was hoping it would just pick it up.
Many thanks again.

I have purchased multiple echo dots for our new home, one for each area/room in the house.  There was some confusion as I set them up and linked them with our network.  How can I get each dot to identify what I've named it?

Simple, just ask.

Alexa what is your device name?
