Alexa updated and wont play what i want

[Droolinggimp]

Every night I listen to pink floyd to unwind. I just tell alexa to play pink floyd and off she goes. Happy days.

Now I just got into bed. Asked her to play pink floyds division bell album and now she says shuffling songs on division bell and similar artists.

I have tried different ways to play something but she always shuffles and inserts random songs from random artists. It's doing my head in.
I don't want albums shuffling or songs I don't want

I have googled this but now way to change the setting. Other people having the same issues.

Any of you annoyed too?

Edit. Asked to play pink gloyd ONLY and she said I'll have to sub to unlimited... bull ****.

Bit of an outcry about it as they've made it shuffle only based on an artist or song, AFAIK nothing you can do other than subscribe to unlimited.

Not quite sure what it means but based on one article:

"Amazon says Prime customers will be able to play songs on demand if they are on 'All-Access Playlists', which are based on the user's listening preferences. These playlists can be downloaded for offline listening.".

Amazon for you. You only had access to 2m songs but could play what you want and what order but now they have given everybody free access to 100m songs, its shuffle only either on the artist. I am sure lots of people would have preferred to have kept the 2m only songs

Yep it’s causing problems in our house trying to explain to a 4 year old why he can’t listen to just paw patrol “music” while going to sleep. Apparently I need to tell “Alexa” to change back to how it was

oh. so now we have the full library, explains the stupid idea then. I would rather have the limited song selection and play what I want from it. Theres only a few Floyd albums missing from that. I will assume the Prime music app on my phone won't do this silly shuffling thing. If not, I might just have to use my phone instead.

E: just tried to play a full album. Nope, shuffle only and it adds in random artists... **** amazon. Guess I will have to transfer my albums to my phone an use the bog standard music player instead.
