[Dixielandjazz] Amazon Echo

[Paul Kurtz Jr]

You can also play all of the radio stations that are on an app called Tune-In radio. You just tell it to play the station and off it goes. 

If you have an Amazon music app, your music sections are almost unlimited.

Marek,
 
I hope I can do a credible job of explaining what the Amazon Echo is and some of what it can do.
 
First, I don’t know if it is available or functionable in other countries.
 
It is a little device that works through your wireless router just as your computer or printer does. It takes voice commands and is completely hands free,
 
It is voice operated. It will do all sorts of things from giving you the square route of any number, make phone calls, play music, tell you the date and time, tell you what day a date in the future will fall on, etc. I am very new at using it so I am sure that it has many more functions.
 
With A SUBSCRIPTION TO Serious XM radio, all I HAVE TO DO is SAY THE KEY WORD AND THEN SAY, “play turk murphy” AND THE echo WILL PLAY AS LONG AS YOU WISH.
 
Perhaps other list mates know more about the Echo than I do.
-Bob
