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

Firstly, the skill does successfully control my remote spotify devices but it seems to lose context easily.

Example of what I'm currently doing (please correct me if I'm missing something).

"Alexa open playback control"
"Alexa next song"
*next song plays
"Alexa next song"
*That command is not supported right now

Do I have to launch playback control every time? I've even tried "Alexa ask playback control to go to next song" and that doesn't work.

I find myself saying stop instead of pause. I use stop all the time when using the official Spotify integration and it works just fine. I'd love to see the stop keyword added.

If I try to say stop now it just tells me 'goodbye'.
