You can now use Alexa with Amazon's music app
"Alexa, play 'Rocket Man.'"
Thanks to Amazon's latest voice control update — which brings Alexa to the Amazon Music app — next time Donald Trump starts feuding with North Korea, you can simply call on Alexa to properly set the mood.
In a Tuesday press release Amazon announced its trusty AI Alexa is now available in the Amazon Music app in the United States, the UK, Germany, and Austria — which means all your favorite songs and playlists are just a voice command away. Sweet.
Though normal app browsing is still available, Amazon Music users now have the ability to activate Alexa using the push-to-talk feature on their iOS and Android devices.
According to Amazon users can request specific genres, playlists, songs, and more — not to mention you can recite lyrics if the name of a song escapes you. Is there anything Alexa can't do?
Here are some of the voice commands you can try out using the voice command feature:
However, while the feature may direct you to hot new beach party mixes, be warned you also run the risk of hearing less-than-thrilling playlists like "Country For Cleaning," which Amazon describes as 21 upbeat country songs to "sweep, scrub, and dust to."
Alexa, play us out...
