I don't WANT "similar songs"; I don't want Crosby or Como or anybody else; I WANT SINATRA. The playlist, accessed through the Amazon Music app, is only Sinatra. It will play in that app, but not through my Dot. Alexa insists on playing "similar songs." What little Christmas cheer I felt this morning has already dissipated.

Oh ... Merry Christmas.

Also, sometimes when I ask it to play something, it goes into this long spiel about Amazon Music Unlimited upgrade.
