Just over a year of owning the Arc, and I'm still a barely satisfied customer... It's a fantastic soundbar, but the voice control is very frustrating and in my opinion, it really limits our experience.
After giving up with my preferred Google Assistant (because it can't play Apple Music on Sonos - why?!) and finding Sonos Voice far too limiting, I thought I'd try Alexa. So far, it's been the best of a bad bunch! At least it can play music and answer basic questions. But I've discovered a weird bug…
While playing music from Apple Music, I asked Alexa what song is playing. Firstly, Alexa responds in the past tense (e.g. "That was Abracadabra by Lady Gaga"). But even more strangely, it actually tells me the details of the next song it's going to play, before I've even heard it! So that's some weird time travelling thing going on!
There are other niggles, too. Like Alexa's voice is very quiet compared to the music so it's difficult to hear what it says. And I can't change the trigger word, which is annoying because my name is Alex and Alexa gets triggered by mistake quite frequently!
Anyway, I'm just wondering if I'm the only person to notice this time travelling bug. Is it a known issue? Is it too much to hope that it might be fixed?
