Can I ask Alexa to play music from my MC?

I don't work for JRiver... I help keep the forums safe from "male enhancements" and other sources of sketchy pharmaceuticals.

Thanks so much, that is very cool. What about JRemote2. Can my Alexa app on my phone or echo devices control JRemote2 on my phone?

I used to use houseband but it was too limited.

I switched to using eventghost combined with JRiver’s MCC commands. I can create any keywords in eventghost that is tied to any command, artist, album or playlist in MC.

It is time consuming to setup and tune with Alexa but well worth the effort.
