But having told Alexa to play Abacab by Genesis you can’t tell her to
browse your library for something suitable to play afterwards. Like most
women her knowledge of popular music from 1950s to date seems to be
wanting in many areas. Prog rock being a significant lacking :)

Seriously your skill is great for the way some people use LMS but not at
all for the way others use it.
