The Downside of Competition

Android Auto and Amazon Music no longer play well together.

Hey Google play beethoven's 9th on Amazon music

This USED to work perfectly.

It responds back that it has asked Amazon Music to play Ludwig von Beethoven's 9th symphony in D minor so it has clearly interrogated Amazon Music and then randomly picks something else.  From reading complaints from others it appears that because they are competitors in the voice activation arena they refuse to play nice.  What a waste.  It makes me less inclined to buy Android in the future.

    Because Amazon and the iPhone (Apple, another stellar company where human rights are concerned) are *so* going to play well together.
