Easier invocation

[Nicolai Weitkemper]

I got this report in an e-mail:

I noticed that when you ask to pause (Alexa pause) and then to play (Alexa play), it resumes the music on the echo device as opposed to the device where it was playing. I don’t know if there is a way to keep the context and when you say play, it resumes in the original device?
I did notice that if you say: “Alexa pause” and then “Alexa ask playback control to play”, this does work though. So the ideal would be to say “Alexa play”, and that to work.

Possible solutions

• “name-free interactions”
• Media Playback API (play nothing, but get playback commands)
• or ideally: somehow add other Spotify clients as actual playback devices
