Amazon Music app adds Alexa support (but only in four countries)

Now you can ask Alexa to play you all sorts of things instead of just hoping you hit the right result.

Amazon has added the ability to search through the Amazon Music app using your voice with Alexa, instead of … erm … searching with your voice through whatever it was it was using before. The update is a good thing, really, prominently placing an Alexa button at the bottom of the app and making it easier to do voice searches. (Instead of searching and then hunting for the voice command mic button thing.)

Amazon’s touting the contextual ability of the Alexa search. For example: “Just use the push-to-talk feature and say, ‘Play the new song by Fifth Harmony,’ and Alexa will play ‘He Like That.’ ” (I’ll have to take Amazon’s word for it in this case, but contextual searches in music is a big deal.)

One caveat here: The Alexa search is available so far only in the U.S., UK, Germany and Austria.

Now you'll ask Alexa to play you all types of issues as a substitute of simply hoping you hit the correct end result.

Amazon has added the power to go looking in the course of the Amazon Music app the use of your voice with Alexa, as a substitute of ... erm ... looking together with your voice via no matter it used to be it used to be the use of prior to. The update is a great factor, in reality, prominently striking an Alexa button on the backside of the app and making it more uncomplicated to do voice searches. (As a substitute of looking after which looking for the voice command mic button factor.)

Amazon's touting the contextual talent of the Alexa seek. As an example: "Simply use the push-to-talk function and say, 'Play the brand new track through 5th Cohesion,' and Alexa will play 'He Like That.' " (I'm going to must take Amazon's phrase for it in this example, however contextual searches in tune is a huge deal.)

One caveat right here: The Alexa seek is to be had up to now only in the U.S., UK, Germany and Austria.
