Amazon Prime customers are having to pay more money if they want to request a specific song from Alexa.
The smart home device normally plays whatever you want, happily obliging for all requests. But now, the tech giant has changed its music service so that users now have to pay for a more expensive subscription to request specific tracks.
Rather than playing songs you have requested, those on the cheapest Amazon Prime package will now have to listen to 'similar' songs to their choice instead. If you don’t like the song the algorithm chooses for you, Amazon only allows you to skip the track six times every hour.
