It's in my Spotify playlist and she can obviously parse "Jupiter Symphony!"
I'm finding more and more issues with Alexa, all of which can be fixed if Bezos Bozos (his FW developers) would learn how to program properly. The one thing that has always bothered me about my Echo is that listening to music is a crap shoot on volume. One song is too loud, the next is so low I cannot tell if Echo is still on. I totally realize that each song has its own audio level due to how it is recorded and what not, but the Echo does a terrible job of balancing that out to an enjoyable volume level. I constantly find myself having to adjust the Echo's volume. When I listen to Pandora on my Echo there is a huge amount of volume variance. When I listen to Pandora on my iPad or iPhone via car audio the volume stays fairly level and enjoyable. I find myself listening on the iPad much more than the Echo even though the Echo has much better speakers.
