Alexa has been made available in the Amazon Music app for iOS and Android users in the UK, US, Germany and Austria.
There was a time when the Amazon Echo was the only smart speaker on the block, but times are changing as Google Home and Apple's Homepod give Amazon Echo a good bit of healthy competition. As far as price points go Amazon may still be winning in the minds of frugal consumers. Apples Homepod which will be available later this year comes with a price tag of $349 a pop which Apple says is justified based on the extra bells and whistles that will make this speaker stand out above the rest. Features of all the Smart Speaker options include, streaming music directly from your phone or tablet, and popular online music services as well as having a smart assistant built-in to the products.
Google Play Music has launched a free, ad-supported version of its streaming service that allows users to browse a massive library of 30 million songs and listen to curated playlists for many occasions. The service is currently available online and as an app for iOS and Android devices. Google has been offering an ad-free subscription version of Google Play Music for some time, allowing listeners to take their music offline and use background features for music videos on YouTube.
A new app launched by the Washington State Department of Health. It was developed in conjunction with the University of Washington. The app seeks to notify users if they have been exposed to COVID-19. It is a voluntary, data-secure app and is seen as a complementary tool for testing and contact tracing. The app launched Monday as COVID-19 cases remained high in Washington state. State hospitals are nearly running out of capacity, according to reports at Business Insider.
Ed Sheeran was the most streamed artist of Amazon Music in 2019, whilst Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus' viral trap country hit 'Old Town Road (Remix)' was the most requested on Alexa.
