Create a ‘Mix’ of artists to listen to
- Alexa will ask you for a first artist to seed your mix and then suggest other artists you might like in your mix.
- When Alexa asks if you’d like an artist in your mix, you can say “Yes”, “No”, “Cancel”, “Done”, or similar. If you’d like to add some artist not suggested, just say “Add <artist> to my mix”. For example, “Add The Beatles to my mix”.
Play a Custom Station or Playlist
- If you have custom stations (‘mixes’) or playlists that you have previously created, you can ask Alexa to play them. For best results, tell Alexa to look in your playlists or mixes.
