If you get that it means that the album name or title didn't match uniquely or not at all. If there are just a handful of matches you get to see them on the Echo screen and tap the one you want. Otherwise there were too many matches or none at all. Ask to play the album "greatest hits" and you will always be asked by what artist because you will have a zillion hits. Ask to play DSOTM and you will not be asked because you may have 3 variants of it but they will all be by Floyd. It can actually be helpful to practice-search by typing in the LMS skin and see what kind of matches you get for certain phrases. Any unique matches would tend to not have Alexa ask for the name of the artist. But that can be really tricky with classical where you have so much info in the title. In general with Alexa, pacing is important. Any humming and hawing and she assumes you've finished speaking and will take what she heard already. I tend to stop and formulate what I want clearly in my mind before starting to blurt something out that needs correcting. That really helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016
