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

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?

Hang on I'll just ask her.

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

Mine is an Echo.

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.
