I find it to be quite good. You can say "Alexa, play the song xxx by xxx" or "...the song xxx from the album xxx" and she usually gets it right and the music starts playing very quickly. When she doesn't get something you help her out by using the Alexa app. I have one of the original Echo devices, which can only connect to other systems via Bluetooth. The newer Echo Dot has both Bluetooth and a line out. I really like the Echo for listening to news, asking for the weather, setting timers and alarms, etc., but I much prefer to use my Squeezebox system for music, because it is connected to the sound systems I want to use, because of the synchronization and now because of Tidal. I have often wished that Alexa could play through LMS! The original Kindle software was based on software from a company called Mobipocket, and Kindle e-books are still Mobipocket-compatible. It has occurred to me many times that Amazon should use LMS for synchronization between Alexa and Squeezebox devices. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rojikewl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62055 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106149 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
