Amazon Music Brings Alexa to Mobile Music Streaming
(NASDAQ:AMZN)-Starting today, Alexa is now available in the Amazon Music
app on iOS and Android (News - Alert) in the US, UK, Germany and Austria, combining the
power of natural language voice controls with a rich, visual app
experience. Tens of millions of songs are now at the tip of your tongue
as well as the tips of your fingers - wherever you go.
Music listeners now have more choice than ever to find the music they
want to play: either browse the app interface that Amazon Music
customers already love, or just ask Alexa. To access Alexa within the
Amazon Music app, simply use the push-to-talk function within the Amazon
Music app for iOS and Android on connected mobile devices and tablets.

Millions of Alexa customers have enjoyed listening to music on Echo
devices, and with Amazon Music's innovative Alexa voice controls,
customers can ask for music based on genre, decade, mood, tempo,
activity or even the lyrics if they can't remember the name of a song.
With Alexa in the Amazon Music app, listeners can utilize the power and
simplicity of voice functionality, wherever they are. For example:
-
Riding in the car and want to listen to that new song by your favorite
artist that you just heard on the radio? Just use the push-to-talk
feature and say, "Play the new song by Fifth Harmony," and Alexa will
play "He Like That."
-
Getting out of town for the weekend? "Play music for a road trip."
-
Going out to meet your college friends and feeling nostalgic? "Play
Coldplay from the 2000s" and Alexa will play songs from the band's
first few albums.
-
On your way to theFoo Fighters concert and want to hear their latest
song? "Play the song that goes 'Banging on the ceiling, banging on the
ceiling, keep it down,'" and Alexa will play "The Sky is a
Neighborhood" from the band's latest release, Concrete and Gold.
-
At the gym and need music for your workout? "Play pop music for
lifting weights" or "Play classic rock for cardio."
-
Headed out the door for a run and want some tunes? "Play running
music."
-
Want to start your Monday morning commute off right? "Play morning
music." Once 5:00pm hits, "Play music for relaxing."
"Amazon Music customers already know and love Alexa from listening on
Echo devices," stated Steve Boom (News - Alert), VP of Amazon Music. "Now our mobile
listeners can enjoy an entirely new app experience that combines the
power and simplicity of Alexa voice controls with the visual richness of
the Amazon Music app."
To start listening to music with Alexa wherever you go, simply update
the Amazon Music app for iOS or Android. Alexa is also available for
Amazon Music customers on Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Show, Amazon Tap,
