Every time I ask alexa to play a specific song she repeats the request and adds radio onto the end.

Winstonwolfe It’s because you have it linked to Spotify, so Spotify is playing you a “mix tape” (called radio) based on the song you ask it to play.

So it will play songs that are similar to the one you asked for and ones it thinks you might like, and the song you actually asked it for will be on that radio playlist somewhere and eventually get played.

It’s a really cool feature to introduce you to songs you might like based on what you already like.

Jeremy Vine soon, then Steve Wright - I'd go on strike too.

There's been issues since before Christmas when tune in radio stopped carrying the bbc radio channels. I have to ask several times and the "wake up to" function no longer works, I get a American station not radio 4

Mine was doing this too just but with radio 1, thing is I'd been listening less than an hour ago but now she just says "I cant do that!"

Tbh is also happened to me this morning with radio 5. She said 'I can't do that' then played some random music. I went upstairs and by the time I came back down radio 5 was on....annoying. I Leave it on for the dogs whilst I'm out. They like to be Informed about sport and current affairs-they don't like random pop music....
