Default Alexa Tap

My son brought his Amazon Tap over (wireless speaker ) which controls sonos. Very interesting technology how well the voice recognition works. I ordered 2 with case , one for the OR and one for home. My wife can be on the couch and instead of using a sonos app. Just say Alexa play... what ever she wants to hear and the room i.e. Living room and the sound comes out of the in ceiling speakers. She can say Alexa volume 5 or 6 etc the volume changes. As a battery powered wifi or Bluetooth speaker it's fine for background music i.e. Not hi fi but fine for a bathroom, garage etc.

Yes, very convenient. My relative who works at google was demonstrating the google home speaker to me the other day. Similar concept.

Since you bought one for the OR, what music will you play for the anestatized patients? I would play “the razor’s edge” by AC/DC.

I usually listen to pandora - Tom Petty station mix

I also learned the new sonos play one uses Alexa and google play to control it or any other sonos zone
