That's not cool. I would had the party anyway just change the theme. No need for good food to go to waste. Amazon normally does give delay notices in advance. Someone drop the ball on this one. I'd be mad too.

I just ordered mine and see a shipping date of Thursday, May 14, 2015. Is this typical?

It has shipped! It should be here sometime Monday.

Finally got a reply and a $10 credit to my account. I have bought thousands of dollars of stuff from Amazon over the years and to be treated like this... Until I get my VERY much delayed orders..I have more than one, I will look elsewhere to spend my money. $10 did NOT cover cost of food for party. Yes, the 8 hour before party notice should have been at least a 24-48 hours.
I wonder if they have shipped ANY Echo's recently, IF not then they really should notify customers.
So the ONLY reason for the party was to show off the echo, which you weren't even sure would do what it claimed?

Interesting.

Woohoo! I just bought a new bookcase for my Echo as I didn't have any where to put her in the new apartment. So happy to have her back! Enjoy your Echo. I love mine.

Nice. I'm unsure where to put her when she arrives. I've thought about putting her in the kitchen, but I'll probably sit her atop the Clavinova in our bedroom. Yorick is already sitting there, and he'd probably appreciate the company.

Great news - Amazon added Prime Stations to Echo

Not sure when it was added, but I noticed it this morning on the "what's new" page.

to Amazon - would love to see Audible added next.

I've not listened to Prime Stations. Can someone explain the verbiage I need to say to Alexa without going to a link and the sort of stations that are available? I'm a bit "out of pocket" at the moment.

You need to know the exact name of the station, so make a list of your favorites for reference.

Examples
  • Alexa, play "60's Rock" Prime Station
  • Alexa, play "Oldies" Prime Station

I'm now a full member of the club. She was playing some straight classical music for me; but she just decided she'd throw in some synthesized Mussorgsky.

As to the setup, I couldn't get it to sync with the app on my phone, so I did the setup on my iPad.

Welcome to the club

I'm listening to Prime Stations - 60s Rock. I'm glad PS was finally added.

Does your phone app work now?

I just thought of another feature I'd like to see added - the ability to identify songs like Shazam does. Anyway, I sent them a request for it.

Cortana does this quite well. Amazon Firefly is suppose to do this too.

Still waiting for mine. Ordered January 19, delivery expected between May 29, and July 6.

I found a new app that can work with the Echo to provide additional functionality. I am anxious to start playing.
