New to Alexa and having strange problems

[Steve1530]

I will say, while it's playing music "Alexa add this song to Steve's playlist" its response is "there appears to be no music playing at this time". It appears that is does not know it's playing music?

If you are playing music from, say TuneIn or IHeartradio or Pandora, Alexa does not know what is playing. If you are playing from Prime Music or Amazon Music Unlimited, then Alexa knows what is playing and can add it to your playlist.

I have been using Amazon Music and it still does not know

You can also ask, "Alexa. play Podcast, Salty Dog Blues and Roots on TuneIn" to start playing the latest one.

I think it might be cause of miss understanding of your voice command to Alexa Dot device. You need to know the Alexa skills for playing music according to your choice. If you have still problem then you can contact Alexa technician who can help you to play music.
