Classic music and opera?
Right now, I have Alexa. She plays anything from I want from a library of 100s of millions selections . For example, if I ask her to play Nessun Dorma, she gives me a choice of multiple renditions, including Pavarotti, the 3 Tenors, Paul Potts. Paul Robeson (find that one at a music store!) and about 6 others.
All by voice command, all free after the $179 initial purchase, plus there 1000 other things “she” does, even calling Uper or Lyft or ordering and delivering groceries!
