In my car with Carplay I can ask Siri to play AC/DC, You Shook Me All Night Long on Tidal.

Besides Amazon, I only have Qobuz as a streaming service and they don't support Alexa or Google control as of this point. Never used Spotify, Pandora or any of the other services so have no idea if they've struck a deal with the voice command services.

  they gave me a Google Nest Mini player that I use in the bedroom. Since it's headless, voice control is useful: "Hey Google, play XM The Bridge".

    I let my SiriusXM expire w/o ever using it in the Honda. I also have a few free months left in the new Subaru. Do voice commands in your car (via add-on App or otherwise) allow you to launch and change SirusXM stations while driving?
    
    I'll have to play around with SiriusXM while in my Subaru.
    
    P.S. I received a letter in the mail from SiriusXM for a 1-year $5/mo subscription. After that it gets automatically billed at the regular price - whatever that is. I haven't looked.

      SiriusXM offers great pricing for starter packages -- I've been getting wild offers continuously since I bought my new Forester last Fall. However, the thing I've read consistently is that if you decide to cancel or non-renew your subscription, well, good luck. You're gonna need it. Apparently they don't make it easy. On the auto forums I follow I've even read of people having to cancel a credit card and having it reissued with a new number in order to get away from SiriusXM. No idea if they are still that way.

        I had a similar problem with Norton or McAfee (forgot which) many years ago. I hate that !

      - $5/mo is tempting... 3-mos free is a good deal too. nt - AbeCollins 13:49:35 07/24/24 (0)

      Honestly haven't checked. Really don't use voice commands in cars much. Have our favorite channels all in a row and steering wheel controls quickly navigates through them.
      
      I fail as a gadgeteer. ;)

        I have a few SiriusXM channels programmed into the Subaru infotainment system but I haven't listened much or done anything else with them.
        
        I plan to experiment with it but that means moving the car out of the garage so it can 'see' the satellites. It won't pickup signals in our garage.
