[Nfb-krafters-korner] Does Alexa do & music

[blindhands at aol.com]

Lets keep an eye on subject lines As if anyone wants to go back and look up
regarding music or crafting, or setup and the echo lists...

You can ask her to "play artist name", but you will get all music from just
that artist.  You can ask, Alex a "play soft jazz" and it will play that
type of music with varies artists.  You can ask for a name of a song, Alexa
play me Bridge Over Trouble Waters by Simon & Garfunkel.  For Christmas
music I had asked for Traditional Christmas music,  Country Christmas
music,modern Christmas music,  You can ask for play music from the 70's,
60's etc and you will get varies artists.

So that is the music.

Every Friday you will get an email titled "What's new with Alexa, do read
this as it is short and let's you know some of the key phrases to ask her.

I like to ask her her thoughts on Serry.  Who has better jokes you or Serry?

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.

easier to set it up through the IPhone.  I got my husband one last year.  It
was fairly easy to set up.
