Alexa & voice commands

[maraimondo]

I would like my Wiim Amp had a feature. I try to explane it: when I tell “Alexa” to my Alexa device, Alexa reduce the volume (for example if there is a song playing in that moment) to hear better my request.

I connect my Alexa devide to Wiim amp, so I can ask Alexa to put music and wiim Amp can reproduce it to speaker but when I give another command to Alexa often I have to repeat the command to higher voice volume so that Alexa can hear.

In conclusion, I would like that Wiim reduce volume of that it’s playing when I ask something to Alexa.

If you want tell me your opinion about this feature.

Thank You

Can't you already do that anyway with Amazon Music by voice for a WiiM device? It'll be added to an amazon music, not WHA playlist I'd expect.

Sorry, I guess my explanation was wrong.

WHA's Amazon music does not have the ability to add the currently playing track to a playlist. The team said that the ability to add to playlists will be implemented in the future.

I wanted to know if this feature would be implemented so that voice control could also it. (Of course, I can add tracks to the playlist by starting playback via AlexaCast or voice).

Ok, I don't think asking to add a track to a playlist by voice will work for a stream started from the app unless the fairly recent autoconnect feature in the Amazon Music app facilitates it. I seem to recall Alexa saying it couldn't detect an audio stream if it hadn't been started by voice.
