[Electronics-Talk] music apps and radio

[Elizabeth Campbell]

Hi Tracy, The Serius/xm app identifies stations in favorites as well as
stations in the various categories such as news, talk, etc. However, I
can't figure out how to add a station to favorites.
Even though the app has a few accessibility glitches, the streaming service
works beautifully with my Amazon Echo which is how I use it. You simply ask
Alexa to play the coffee house channel, classic vinyl, cnn, etc. Hope this
helps.
