My unit bags me every day to upgrade but the new voice sounds like a really annoying coworker so I refuse


You can choose from several voices, both male and female.

I’m the pp and I am already subscribed. I’m still having trouble playing what I want.

Apparently it’s switching everyone to Alexa + and there are some technical glitches.

I can't stand my echo recently. It never wants to play my favorite pandora station either. I have to manually make it happen through the alexa app.

When I say “WAMU” it now plays a country music station but plays WAMU when I say “NPR”

I have the same problem for nearly two weeks now. I could always figure out ways to get it to play in the past but now nothing works.

I had no trouble getting it to pay NPR. Maybe your Echo is broken.

My parents had this problem and they were able to solve it by asking for National Public Radio. Asking for WAMU sent them to an excellent country music station.

Known problem. Google it. You have to specify something like "from NPR" or similar to make it work.
