Try "Alexa, next" (the command to skip to the next song).

There's a bug (fortunately infrequent) that occasionally causes it to stop playing a song before it finishes. If you do nothing it will eventually start the next song (at the point where the one that stopped would have ended). We're actively working on that.

Unfortunately, "Alexa, what's playing" will not work. You have to say "Alexa, ask radio paradise what's playing". I *hate* that, but at this point that's a limitation at Amazon's end. We've filed a request for them to allow her to respond to the simpler command.

 

 
Thanks Bill. I could swear that I tried the next command but I'll try again. I have two new gems for you.

1. I just listened to peter Gabriel three times back to back. Just kept looping. I said Alexa, cancel. Sorry. I'm having trouble accessing the radio paradise skill...and resumed playing. Ha! Alexa stop worked, pausing it.

2. On several occasions I've heard two songs play simultaneously.

Hello,

I enabled the new skill on my account recently. It works, but very unreliably compared to going through tunedin. Examples:

Playing just fine but suddenly stops. Alexa, what's playing? Nothing is currently playing. ok ... Alexa, play radio paradise ... ... nothing plays. Alexa, what's playing? Nothing is currently playing.

This happens on the two original echos that I have. If I switch it to play iheartradio it works fine. Have yet to establish a pattern, but when one is out, they are both out (two different rooms).

I have no issues with wifi otherwise and have been been using RP with tunedin with infrequent playback issues. I might have to disable the skill in order to get RP to work again.

Thank you.
