Alexa voice control

I actually discussed this awhile ago in a private thread. I’d thought I’d reshare here.

Forget Siri. Amazon’s Alexa (aka Echo) blows it
out of the water. It an amazing product that I already use to control
my thermostat, and lights around the house. And it does exactly what
XXXXXX is asking. I can say, play x album, or song ,artist or
playlist (all from my Amazon purchases and Amazon Prime Music). it is
linked into Iheartradio, tunein so I can say play WFMU or any call sign
and have the station start playing. heck it will even read any kindle
book I’ve purchased and track progress with the physical kindle.

Since it is its own bluetooth speaker I can even stream Roon to it
from my tablet or phone. A perfect in kitchen product. And really
unexpected since, I originally acquired it with the use case of
replacing my pen and paper grocery list with a scenario of just being
able to say “Add broccoli to my shopping list” and have it added to the
list on my phone automatically.
