i have a few ai gizmos (alexa and google home)
once you learn how to communicate with them both are good at the narrow definition
as i understand it both companies are obviously pumping resources to expand their capabilities
after investigating both programs and geeking out with both i give google the edge
google it is definitely more comprehensive (i put one on my desk and i ask it questions related to work)
i like the fact that google offers a privacy button/switch and that they can link/play together
i listen to a lot of podcasts like serial and i can walk around the house and never miss a beat
rp piped all over the house is pretty cool too
sound quality is ok (not nearly as good as say sonos) but for most media consumption it works just fine
regards

Just bought a Fire 8 HD. Downloaded the RP app and its up and running. First app for anything on any device I've ever downloaded. First tablet for that matter. Still getting familiar with it but so far, so good. Looking forward to figuring out Alexa.

We're discussing an Alexa app with song skip, enhanced PSD, song rating & what's playing functions. Stay tuned...

Alexa is never confused when you ask her to play "Radioparadise.com"
Thanks sooo much for your hard work on this music station!
I love it!

Cool - thanks for the tip. I didn't know that! Just tried it out and it works for me. The way I've listened to RP previously on Alexa is via Bluetooth connected to my tablet. But the way you suggested is much more convenient.
