Ask Alexa for the Music You Want
Asking Alexa for exactly what you want to hear is an easy way to play your favorite music on your Echo. You can be as general or as specific as you like and Alexa will play something that she believes fits your request. For instance, you could say any of the following.
“Alexa, play popular Christian music.” “Alexa, play instrumental music from the 1940s.” “Alexa, play one-hit wonders.”
Of course, you can ask her to play a certain song or music by a particular artist, as well.
Ask Alexa for Help Customizing Music
If you start conversing with your Echo device, you might discover that Alexa attempts to find the best music for you or even offer suggestions. For instance, if you say, “Alexa, play music,” she will play your most played songs or a station you listen to frequently. But if you’re not sure what you want to listen to, you can enable your AI assistant’s guidance. If you say, “Alexa, help me find a playlist,” she might offer to sample some. She will likely ask if you would like to hear a particular genre or tempo. You can also say, “Alexa, recommend some new music,” or “Alexa, what should I play?” and Alexa will offer a few suggestions based on the music you have listened to before.
Provide Feedback About Your Music Preferences
You can let Alexa know whether or not she is on the right track by giving feedback on the music you listen to.
“Alexa, I don’t like this playlist.”
If you say this after Alexa begins to play music from a new or recommended playlist, Alexa will play something else you might like that also comes close to what you requested.
“Alexa, give this song a thumbs up.”
If you say this while a song you like is playing, Alexa takes note and will offer or suggest similar music in the future.
Making new playlists with your voice is simple. You can add new music to the playlist at any time.
