Absolutely, though I think it has to be available on Amazon music. You can also connect to music services you subscribe to. She will also connect you to radio stations. I have Amazon Prime, and there's more than enough to satisfy my tastes, but if you're interested, contact me with some more obscure selections and I'll see how far she's willing to go... :laugh:
Thanks. I don't subscribe to any music services and Amazon music is unlikely to have what I would look for. I can find radio stations via my computer so it doesn't look like it's a worthwhile investment for me.

Pardon me while I return to 13th C. China, where foot operated computers were gaining ground England hadn't invaded yet.

Mrs m says she doesn't need Alexa for that, she already has a farting machine. Not sure what she meant

Mrs. HD is quite tolerant and merely teases me.

This photo just describes the situation fully. It needs no further. Add that music and it is crystal clear.

Just downloaded the brand newie from Son Volt "Electro Melodier". Loved every track. Great roots rock/Americana.

Two years after releasing Union, roots-rock pioneers Son Volt will return with their tenth album Electro Melodier in July. The album features a new group of personal reflections and socio-political songs from frontman Jay Farrar, who originally set out to make a nostalgic record that paid tribute to the music of his youth.

^^Oh my...
Oh goodness me...

Google will be working overtime when I have some free time!

The only disappointment was the lack of a spot on the dark-haired lady. I wanted a clearer view of her... erm... expression... :oops:

I'm off for a lie down. :laugh: :laugh:

Tryin to find this album for download in FLAC, not getting very far. The days of downloading high-quality music appear to be over.

sack that..no seeders.

Have you thought about downloading each individual track from the album on MP3Juices. Thats what I do with old obscure albums. :cheers:

Then use an app to covert from MP3 to FLAC https://cloudconvert.com/mp3-to-flac

Nice.

What I should have said is that these things are out there, but no seeders so they won't download. That one is in the queue now anyway, thx.
