Siri on ARC in car

[Ian_Hudson]

OK, maybe I am just a Luddite, but I can’t get Siri to work with ARC. So I come here to ask - how do you use Siri with arc?
When I’m in the car, I have my iPhone connected to my stereo via Bluetooth and arc running and if I say something like “Siri play, Dire Straits”, it plays Dire Straits from Apple Music.
I guess the real question is How do I specify to Siri that I am talking about ARC?

Try “Siri, play Dire Straits in Roon ARC”. That’s what works for me.

Also, I think I read that after a while, your iPhone will learn your preferences and the “in Roon ARC” may not be necessary once that happens.

Exactly, it was in the announcement:

It may take some time for Roon ARC to become the default media player with both Siri and Google, so be sure to explicitly say “Play x in Roon ARC” After time, they will know to pick ARC instinctively.

Ahhh, so I didn’t read. I skimmed it. Classic! Oops.

Thanks, it works (of course)

It was somewhat far down and easy to overlook unless one read the Android section as well

The part “in Roon” makes the difference for me !
Just tried it, and I was with the Beautiful voice of Renée Fleming in my car.

Thanks for the tip.
