A mate has one, and I asked her if she takes it up the arse. She said, that isn't very nice.

Yeah, I was at a mates who had it, and same as you I was sold. Have the app on the Mrs Z's phone, but she's only got a Nokia 3 so it was difficult to set up, but persistence paid off. I was trying to get the app on tablet and PC, but when I tried it said no device available. Searched Google but not much help. Re the music, it looks like I can stream from PC or phone though.

We've had one Since just before Xmas, if you ask her to play "70's rock" or "80's rock" she plays a cracking mix of stuff.
Plus i now know what Alexa thinks of supertramp!

Sounds like Yahoo Radio in the early 00's. Tell it what you like and it'll feed a regular stream of tunes to your preference. OT also had a skip facility.
Whatever happened to it?

You are lucky she told me she didn't have an opinion on that. Obviously you've got the posh version

Lol! I think i got a band history and discography.
asking her to play specific songs can be a bit hit and miss though, took us twenty minutes to get her to acknowledge slades merry Xmas everybody even existed, and another ten to actually play it.

A lot on here would ask her what Jon Gaunt is doing at the moment. Every 5 minutes.
