Interesting— I use that functionality constantly and listen to a wide variety of artists, some of them pretty obscure. Do you use Apple Music or another service?

I can think of one time recently where no matter how I prompted it to play an album for (decades old but probably triple platinum,) it kept playing some cardi b song with the band’s name in the title instead… but that’s probably like a 1 in 2000 request problem. Maybe its a genre thing?

It’s extremely hit or miss for me. Sometimes it works and I’m amazed. Other times it fails to play my main playlist that I’ve played 1000 times before.

Huh. I’d love to see what their UX testing looked like. It clearly missed someone doing what you’re doing with it, sadly.

Yea, I’m boggled. At this point Siri should be able to parse and understand a wide variety of forms of the same command, but it still seems to fail. This should be doable even without LLMs.

Yeah I can ask it to play specific editions of specific EPs named the same or similar thing to the albums or whatever and it rarely screws up. There’s got to be something significantly different in our approach. I wish I could test it.
