Alexa or other devices like this. Music suggestions please.

I am a great fan of Queen so I ask Alexa either to play something specific or for her to choose. Brown Sugar by the Rolling Stones is another favourite of mine.

I have 3 Alexas, kitchen, living room and my bedroom. So useful.

The kids bought OH one so he can have his own music without having to hog YouTube on my iPad. They find it hilarious when he starts shouting at her because she doesn’t understand what he wants.

If he says:
Alexa play “some music by….” She says I’m sorry I don’t know that one.
Alexa, I would like some music by…. She says I’m sorry I don’t know that one.
He doesn’t understand why it works when I say ‘Alexa, play …’

I keep telling him, keep it simple and to the point!

Try radio station bbc wales . A good choice of music from 60s 70s and 80s and in the daytime very entertaining with phone ins etc for our age group. Wynne evans of just compare fame does a brilliant programme in the mornings. Carol vordeman one Owen Money are very good at the weekends. Listened too all over the world needn’t be Welsh to find it entertaining

klingeltonkostenlos.de/ is what I want to suggest to you about today's mobile ringtones.

I also love music and they are the most interesting and engaging.

Mine are used for radio too travelsafar. We live in a dead area for radio signals, and digital radio was impossible to receive. I listen to Scala radio quite a lot.
For when I need help to sleep I listen to Sleep by Max Richter.

I use mine for listening to Country Music and radio stations. Unfortunately i can not receive my local station but i am very happy with it. I have two one upstairs the other down.

I love the Alexa music for a relaxing bath. I also ask it to play music by specific singers and hear a lot of tracks I haven't heard before.
And I make playlists on youtube.

CrazyH have you tried unplugging you Alexa for a minute or so them replugging. It works for me whenAlexa is playing up.

Kitty I use two different relaxation apps to help me go to sleep through the clattering in my head. CALM is the best and has sleep stories by a variety of excellent presenters. Eric Bra is the best for me. The other app is Headspace which has lots of variety but not such good presenters. I’m listening to Watery Forest now, thanks ?

MiniMoon tinnitus is not for the faint hearted as you will know. It’s especially loud at present but often is quieter in the morning.

Thanks for all your suggestions folks I’m checking them ALL out. ?

I've just discovered Boom radio, music and chat for Baby Boomers. Mostly its decent but there are times when its all a bit too 'old' for me! I just sneak into the end of the generation! It is really nostalgic to listen to, as its exactly like the radio used to be. Diddy David Hamilton is one of the DJs! www.boomradiouk.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw5uWGBhCTARIsAL70sLJxaQgPfiN0TnFUIgyoW2lrLmauRJf4ZHvzuFj3RPOkIFAFT3F5ZYUaAp-WEALw_wcB

Different years, I just ask ‘Alexa, play 80’s/90’s…music’.

I love these.
Rock with a difference; very relaxing.

I listen to whatever type of mood I’m in. Favourites include Classic fm and jazz fm radio stations. ABBA, Stevie Wonder, ELO,Frank Sinatra, Andre Rieu,
Musical compilations ie stage shows. Also if I want to really chill out or am having a pamper if you ask her to play spa music and put a few candles on etc it’s so relaxing.
Never heard of Snarky puppy but will give it a go.

I have a portal downstairs which is supposed to do a lot of things - but it has stopped working. It tells me I’m offline, but I know I’m not because my iPad, iPhone etc is working. I’m not too impressed with Alexa

Kate, do you use Alexa to play music to help you sleep? Dh uses it to mask the tinnitus that was stopping him sleeping. He asks Alexa to play Watery Forests.
