[Nfb-krafters-korner] Does Alexa do crafts?

Tue Dec 27 21:03:34 UTC 2016

What do we need to do?  Does she need to be connected to the wireless?
If I have wireless, why are people saying I need an iphone to set it up?
Do we need itunes?
I hope this will not add any more cost to my Verizon bill!

This is a mistory to me on how this works!

Ramona, Prime music will help Echo sing to you. But before I had prime music she still would sing to me. Try asking for older music. Alexa play Sinon and Garfuncle. Alexa play Jon Denver. Alexa play the Beatles. Alexa play frank Sanotra.

So you should be an expert? a consultant? My son set mine up. Now I am trying to figure out what I need to do to my every-phone in order to have access to all the stuff people talk about with the Echo. So far I can get it to spell words (very nice), give me weather anywhere, and answer some questions. But no music, including  no youtube. There must be a way to get music from youtube! I am sure it can give calendar dates (like Easter) but haven't figured that one out either. I guess I am not the only one with some learning ahead.

I am looking forward to a lesson with my Touch on the internet on Thursday, but I am still being told "it will get better with upgrades". Patience is not my best virtue, especially when the Touch is my best computer right now.
