Alexa is always listening, but she does have a button that turns off her microphones. She always temporarily mutes playback when you say the wake word. Unless of course you have turned her up so loud that she can't hear you over what she is playing. With your question about "play kiss" I can say that she rarely asks for clarification. Usually she'll just go with her best guess, and you have to try again if she's wrong. Sometimes she will say "You want to hear xxx by xxx, right?" Amazon is pushing its new Amazon Music Unlimited service big time right now. I got an e-mail talking about Alexa's "song of the day" feature. Apparently it used to be called "Song of the Day for Prime Members," but when I tried to check it out today Alexa played a rather long and annoying ad for Amazon Music Unlimited. The Song of the Day is now only available to Music Unlimited subscribers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
