  1. This headline is absolutely not true. There are only a few play-fi enabled products out right now that can be controlled through Alexa, and these only in a limited way. Play-fi plans on making this happen in the future, but as of “now,” as stated in the headling, this is not the case. I know because your click-bait headline resulted in me making a purchase and spending hours on the phone with technical support before coming to this conclusion. Journalistic ethics. Take a course in them.

    1. Hi, I am sorry to hear about what happened. The headline may have been a bit vague but the article is pretty clear. Sadly the world of internet is quite harsh on long page titles and we have to reduce the words. However, I have corrected it for now. Hope the technical support is useful and/or you can get your money back.
