Alexa, am I asking too much?

[simon field]

Bit of a saddo maybe, but I love my Alexa.

Except, mostly I use it for radio. And when i ask ‘Alexa, what is this music?’ She has no clue.
The DJ doesn’t always name the track.

I love music. Is there an easy way here?

I've got a Google Home and the novelty wore off after a day. Use it for radio like yourself and have it linked to my Spotify account so can ask it play whatever whenever

Install shazam app on your phone and this will solve your problem.

I got a Google Home for free and I still think it's not worth it, really poor considering it's a Google product.

On the other hand, I have 3 Echos in the house, one for the car and the app on my phone. I want one of the Astro robots, but I'm not sure if/when they'll come to the UK.

Really glad I didn't get the Google one first.

I mainly use the Google Home in my office to turn the lights and heater on and off. It has a lot of potential but I cant find. The other night my grandson jokingly said "Google Good Night". Google responded by reminding me to charge my phone as it was X% and what time my alarms were for the next day.

I am sure I can use it as mini-PA but I have never got around to learning what it can and cant do
