How do I get my Echo dot to play continuous music? All of the sudden it is only playing one song and then I have to ask again. null

Question

RedMoccasins · Accepted Answer

I have four dots, all bought at different times in different places. They have different personalities, but when I ask any one of them to put music on repeat or to play continuously, it goes a long time before shutting down (which I was told is a safety feature). One of our pets recently had surgery and had to be isolated from the other pets, so in setting up a space for her I set the dot in that room to continuously play soft rock music ... twelve hours later it was still playing. Note: A lot of way a dot functions seems to have to do with how you word your request (yes, I am very serious).

I ask it to play music and include the artist name and say “on pandora” all in the same sentence to Alexa…works fine with no problems (just a few commercials from pandora thrown in from time to time, but they have ad-free options as well). 

After I have the music started on one dot I then say “play music everywhere” and it plays through the other dots in the house.

Thank you for your question, if this is occurring there are a few troubleshooting things you can try to resolve:
*first check the Wi-Fi connection to the device
*ensure the Alexa loop mode is turned off
*Try using a different music streaming service through the Alexa app
*update the Alexa device and check the Alexa app as well for software updates
