I see many newbs with this skill just saying things like 'Play -BBC
radio 3-', without aiding poor Alexa by mentioning whether that's a
-favorite-, a -playlist-, a -genre -only found in Thailand, a new -song
-by Blur, or a previously-unreleased -album- by Rick Astley. 

The fallback is usually that Alexa thinks it must be an album, so you
get "I can't find an *album *called 'play BBC radio 3' by 'radio' in
your library".

Because people (of course!) don't read the docs, this is often repeated
5 or 6 times in a row, in the mistaken belief that it must be a matter
of pronunciation rather than lack of specificity :rolleyes:

Anyway, if the skill can determine that it's probably a favorite you
want instead of an album, the spoken error message now includes a hint
that you may need to try a different command. This rather than a
fallback to actually run a favorite-check behind the scenes, because
otherwise the correct format may never be learned and grievances shall
not abate with the passing of time...
