Yep, and unfortunately I bought it primarily as an alarm clock for the bedroom. So major fail there. It works pretty well for displaying lyrics to songs though, that is, when Amazon has the lyrics. But it is so deaf that it often takes 3 or 4 loud screamings of the song title to get it to play what I want, and then I usually get some stupid rendition of that song rather than a good one. And true to Echo form, if it can’t find a song then Alexa goes into a lengthy discussion of other crap she can play instead, or she simply starts playing free Spotify garbage I don't care to hear.
The most annoying thing though is when I don't even get the artist command voiced and she starts playing the song by some gawd-awful artist. "Alexa, let me finish b****!"
