Any reason why you’re not using AlexaCast from the Amazon Music app itself?I can't find out how to delete my library in the wiim app. Wiim app doesn't keep up with what I have in my Amazon account.
Albums I deleted still show up through wiim.
Any idea why?
AlexaCast has little to do with “talking to an app”, it’s the protocol that the Amazon Music app uses to cast to another device, in this case your WiiM device. If you link Amazon Alexa from the WiiM Home app browse page and enter your Amazon credentials and complete the account linkage, your WiiM device will then appear as a target cast device in the Amazon Music app. It also delivers a bit perfect lossless stream to your WiiM device as well as giving you access to the full range of features available in the amazon music app, including album deletion etc.I have not found the need to use Alexa, talking to an app when I can easily just tap the album I want isn't my thing.
If it works to keep my library up to date I would try it.
The wiim app just never deletes the albums I delete in my Amazon app. They should be the same. No option to delete in the wiim app.
The WiiM Home app uses the API that Amazon makes available to third party developers and may not support that function. If you link your WiiM Home app to your Amazon account via the Amazon Alexa menu entry, you can get access to the full Amazon music app feature set while casting to your WiiM.I have cleared cache in my amazon app but I don't see that option in wiim. Am u missing something?
Sounds good I'll give it a try. I always assumed Alexa was like siri.AlexaCast has little to do with “talking to an app”, it’s the protocol that the Amazon Music app uses to cast to another device, in this case your WiiM device.

Edit: you need never even mention the word Alexa after that
Alexa the Voice Assistant is like Siri, but when Amazon first decided to add casting to their music app it was initially only to Amazon Echo devices so their casting protocol piggy-backed on to the technology they already had to deliver audio to Echo devices and that was via the Alexa subsystem. The name unfortunately does put off people who have an aversion to voice assistants for whatever reason…Sounds good I'll give it a try. I always assumed Alexa was like siri.
Well I see that everything Alexa was checked. Alexa works fine through Amazon app but doesn't if I use Amazon in my wiim home app.
I open up Amazon music in wiim app and go to my music. I even Uninstalled it and reinstalled it again with no change.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I don't think so.
Every album I've ever downloaded shows up in my wiim Amazon library, even the ones I deleted.
I have no devices showing up when I cast.
I've tried to add wiim as a device many times and it doesn't find it.
Yet I can go to Amazon in wiim through music services and play no problem.
I guess I'm missing something, I'll keep working on it.
Thanks for your help
