Good news for those of you who listen to Amazon Music on your smartphone: Now you can queue up the jams with just your voice, thanks to Amazon Alexa.
Amazon on Tuesday announced it is bringing its virtual voice assistant's great music focused-features to mobile devices. Alexa is now available in the Amazon Music app for iOS and Android in the US, UK, Germany, and Austria. With this new integration, you can simply ask Alexa to play what you're in the mood for.
"Tens of millions of songs are now at the tip of your tongue as well as the tips of your fingers – wherever you go," Amazon wrote in a news release.
You can ask Alexa to play music based on a specific "genre, decade, mood, tempo, activity," or you can say some of the lyrics if you can't remember the name of a song, Amazon said. Here's some examples of things you can ask Alexa to play, according to Amazon: "the new song by Fifth Harmony," "music for a road trip," "Coldplay from the 2000s," "pop music for lifting weights," "classic rock for cardio," "running music," "morning music," or "music for relaxing."
Alexa can even handle trickier requests. Say "play the song that goes 'Banging on the ceiling, banging on the ceiling, keep it down,'" and Alexa will know to play "The Sky is a Neighborhood" by the Foo Fighters.
