Why do some music requests include additional artists?
« on: December 26, 2016, 05:47:52 pm »
When I say, "Alexa, play The Rolling Stones" for example,   the Echo plays only the Rolling Stones.  When I say, "Alexa, play Bach" (or Beethoven, or Mozart, etc.) it shuffles my request in with a contemporary artist, too.  What gives?  Thanks

What was the contemporary artist? Could it have been a piece by Bach, or maybe Sebastian Bach, or another Bach? Just curious here.

Because only Rolling Stones can play Rollings Stones. Any orchestra can play Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc. If you want a specific one, you could ask for "Beethoven by xyz symphony orchestra" or something like that.
