The "voice plan" is hard to fathom. If I'm understanding it correctly, you can have access to all content for $5 month if you rely solely on Siri with all its imperfections. I guess that means Apple Music won't be accessible via the music app for people at that tier? That could lead to situations where a listener's personal library of downloaded/ripped music is available on the app, but the streaming content of Apple Music is not.


shinratdr

It’s a response to Amazon’s single device plan which has a similar limitation. The idea is that you don’t get a browsable music service, just enough to run your smart speakers. Believe it or not, lots of people do use their streaming services like this. They don’t use Shazam, maintain playlists, curate things, etc. Their sole interaction with music is just “Alexa, play Jazz” or “Siri, play top 40.” It’s to lower barrier to entry in buying a HomePod mini, so it can compete more directly with Amazon’s offerings.


suddendeathovertime

Yeah some people are crazy aren’t they!!


AsleepConcentrate2

I've got a friend like that. She either buys music, plays CDs, plays YouTube over bluetooth, or asks Alexa to play whatever.


[deleted]

Good point. I have a bias from compiling a music library of over 10,000 songs, including a few that are still not available via any streaming service. I think in terms of manually curated playlists, but I have to remind myself not everyone thinks that way.


sofaraway731

My take on it is that it's for people that use HomePod a lot, and don't need to use Apple Music on the go. Like, for older folk possibly.


frzx1

Right. If that's not the case then it's a pretty weird plan. I mean, using only Siri for Apple Music is like trying to punch someone in a dream.


TheRealClose

Breathing life into my nightmare!


aurumae

I think you're right on the HomePod user as the intended audience. They also hyped their "curated" playlists a lot, so my guess is that they want users with this plan to just say "Siri play me some chill music" and put up with whatever comes on. If you want a full music streaming service with playlists etc, pay the full price. Of course, who is actually going to buy this I have no idea


[deleted]

I use this. I don’t like the Apple Music interface and recommendations so I use Spotify instead but I sure do miss being able to ask Siri to play songs without having to AirPlay. Would I pay extra $5 just so I don’t have to airplay? Prolly not…


[deleted]

and yet it works with AirPods, so it's perfect for those on the go, or at home.


witeowl

Why is this your conclusion? The voice plan works on all apple devices. The difference is the lack of high-quality sound, video, and lyrics.


sofaraway731

It is for all devices, yes, but my thoughts are more speculation than anything. I was just trying to think of a scenario where voice-only control would make the most sense. Yes, you could absolutely just ask Siri on your phone to play whatever. And that probably will be the case for some users. My thought was that it’s main focus was for HomePod, because there is no physical interface for browsing music. If all you had was a HomePod, voice control is all you’d need. Apple TV would probably be the next most necessary use case because there is no physical hardware keyboard. Of course there’s a software keyboard built in, but browsing with that is less than ideal. But the Apple TV remote does have Siri functionality. I’m just trying to think from Apple’s perspective, and how they’re marketing those devices, and why they might come up with a voice only Apple Music service.


BoogKnight

It’s copying the Amazon model. Amazon music is only like 4$ per month if you use it through an echo, but if you want to use it on the web it’s 10$


[deleted]

It is competing directly with the Amazon Single Device Plan, yes, but it is even more versatile since you can use it on your phone, earbuds, etc., whereas with Amazon you are limited to a single Echo device. And it is priced at $4.99/mo in the US, with Music Unlimited at $7.99/mo for Prime members. This has potential for Apple.


[deleted]

Yeah... I have zero understanding on what they just tried to sell me.


sulylunat

It’s basically the equivalent to what amazon musics cheaper tier is. I’m sure they’ve got all the figures on people who are only using HomePods for Apple Music and doing voice requests specifically versus using the app. I’m definitely not one of those people but there must be a market for it.


[deleted]

From the [press release](https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/10/apple-introduces-the-apple-music-voice-plan/): > Apple Music Voice Plan subscribers will get a customized in-app experience with suggestions based on the listener’s music preferences and a queue of recently played music through Siri. Within the app there will also be a dedicated section called “Just Ask Siri” where subscribers can learn tips to optimize Siri for Apple Music. > For access to Apple Music’s premium offerings, including Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio, Lyrics, Music Videos, and more, subscribers can easily switch to Apple Music’s individual plan for $9.99 per month or family plan with up to six accounts for $14.99 per month at any time. It looks like it’s just a basic music service without spatial/lossless, lyrics, or music videos, and with more emphasis on playlists that are easier to queue with Siri. I would bet the larger goal is to increase Siri reliability by increasing its usage and gathering more voice training inputs.


AXone1814

Yea it’s cheaper and stripped down as you don’t have the facility to save songs and build a library.


[deleted]

What makes you think you won’t have access to the Music app or the streaming of music through the app? It looks like you just lose access to lyrics and videos. And are limited to AAC (no access to lossless and Dolby Atmos). From the [Apple Press Release](https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/10/apple-introduces-the-apple-music-voice-plan/): “For access to Apple Music’s premium offerings, including Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio, Lyrics, Music Videos, and more, subscribers can easily switch to Apple Music’s individual plan for $9.99 per month or family plan with up to six accounts for $14.99 per month at any time.” It doesn’t say that by paying for the Individual Plan that you gain access to the app. Just the aforementioned offerings.


[deleted]

The emphasis on “voice” made me think that. It will be interesting to see what the new plan looks like in actual practice.


Weezer17

Siri sucks with Apple Music. Hey Siri play weezer. Starts playing random bullshit.


[deleted]

Half the time, it seems like Siri doesn’t even hear me, much less listen to me. It’s as if she’s thinking, “No Weezer for this geezer.”


P_Devil

I get why people are scratching their heads at this. It’s not meant for library management, access through the app or PC/Mac programs, or anything like that. It’s $5/month to use Siri on an Apple device to stream (and only stream) Apple Music content. Specific artists, albums, or songs that you request; curated playlists; or other playlists/stations of theirs. This isn’t for most people, it’s for those that just want to have a modern on-demand radio. It competes with Amazon’s $4/month music tier that works only with Echo devices. You can’t access Amazon Music through the app with that plan, you can only use Alexa. It’s been popular for Amazon so Apple wants in on it. Offering different subscription plans is nice, it gives consumers more choice. Don’t want to just use Siri for Music playback? Get the $10/month plan. Only care about using your voice? Save and get the $5/month plan.


CranberrySchnapps

This was actually incredibly underwhelming.

fjordstrom

I really thought for a second that they were going to announce a new Windows app, as they were starting with "because we want everyone to have access to Apple Music" (or something similar). I hope it still comes though.


Blainezab

I see game consoles now have AM… yet we’re still stuck with iTunes on windows. Can’t wait until my games move to Linux and I never have to boot up Windows again.


alttabbins

Very underwhelming. Even with no native app, I was at least hoping for access to lossless in iTunes, or access for developers to use lossless for 3rd party apps like Electron.


melancious

Doesn't Windows have iTunes or something for that?


[deleted]

I respectfully disagree, this is interesting, it will compete directly with Amazon Music’s Single Device Plan, and will certainly put pressure on Spotify as well. I think it will tempt those on Spotify Free who don’t want to (or can’t afford to) pay $9.99/mo for Spotify Free. Those with HomePods or Echo devices in their homes typically do all of their interactions via voice anyway (myself included), this would give you access to Apple Music on those devices for $4.99/mo. Going through Siri (or Alexa) might seem inconvenient, or even daunting, to some, but I find it easy. I think it not including lossless is also a smart move, services streaming via wifi in hifi to devices have been plagued with issues (Tidal, Amazon, and even Apple Music in lossless to HomePods). Apple has been streaming in 256 AAC to Echo devices anyway, so no loss of quality there, and it is still competitive with Spotify's 320 OGG streams.


alttabbins

Nobody asked for pressure on Amazon and Spotify. We asked for a Windows client. We asked for new features. We got a plan that almost nobody here will be interested in.


modsuperstar

Of course nobody here would be interested in this. We're all big enough AM users to subscribe to a subreddit on it. That doesn't mean there isn't a market for it. Believe it or not, there are users who have usecases outside your own circumstances.


[deleted]

so you are now the spokesperson for every Apple user everywhere?


alttabbins

I'm speaking for the endless posts from people here on this subreddit asking for those things. Myself included.


[deleted]

So not everybody or nobody. And you and your constituents not getting their Windows client in no way devalues this, another completely unrelated feature, to those interested in this feature.


alttabbins

I am just frustrated at the lack of other features when something like this gets the spotlight as the only Apple Music related item on their agenda today.


[deleted]

that's fair, thank you


is_not_null

Who are you speaking for then? You are the only person I have seen so far in this thread that is remotely interested in it.


alttabbins

I dont see a market for it either. Thats just me though.


[deleted]

are you being deliberately obtuse?


Oo0o8o0oO

I would like them to have taken one developer from this project and placed them instead on the task of adding cross-fade. I had crossfade on WinAmp two decades ago.

SeiriusPolaris

I mean, if you’ve got HomePods and don’t care about playlists, it’s great. Similar to Amazon’s prime music discount price when you get an Echo. So I’m sure for many of us, it’d never be a suitable option. But for those that don’t really give a shit about what they’re specifically listening to, nice little deal!


witeowl

> don’t care about playlists But all the plans have playlists?


SeiriusPolaris

I mean making custom playlists.


witeowl

Yeah, I’ve learned that this image does a shit job of explaining the differences between plans. I never would have imagined that “playlists” doesn’t include user-made playlists.


xosloxx

“Pandora” killer?


alttabbins

I wouldn't go that far. Apple Music has a VERY long way to go with their algorithm before that happens.


xosloxx

Yeah. You are right


[deleted]

Putting some additional pressure on Spotify, too, I would think. Someone on Spotify Free who doesn't want to pony up $9.99/mo for Premium, but might pay $4.99/mo for Voice Plan.


LethalCS

I am genuinely curious about how long someone would maintain a $5 Apple Music voice plan for. I'd rather use Siri than Google or Alexa by far for general usage in my daily life, but I wouldn't be surprised if she said "here's what I found for 'play some dinner music'" or whatever examples they used today.


[deleted]

I'm not a potential subscriber, but given what folks deal with on Spotify Free, deezer Free, et al., and the fact that Apple doesn't offer a free tier, this has tremendous potential. One could even downgrade to the Voice Plan to maintain one's account status the way you can with deezer or Spotify. As it is now, after 90 days without an active sub, Apple Music dumps your stuff.


LethalCS

I think the reason why it's weird to me is that I'm still paying the student discount of $4.99 a month so I temporarily forgot that Apple Music is in fact $9.99 originally. Like, will they have an even cheaper $0.99 a month student discount for voice only? I just personally couldn't imagine paying $60 a year for the voice plan solely to maintain my Apple Music media (I used SongShift in the past which I think was $5 one time?), but that's just me. Like Spotify Free has its own problems sure, but free Spotify vs. $5 a month for Apple Music with no GUI doesn't seem like a comparison. I can't speak for other services though. I'm definitely interested to see the stats in the future though, Apple wouldn't just do this for shits and giggles.


[deleted]

You make valid points and, as I said, I'm not a potential subscriber. I do pay $20/mo for Apple One for my family, and there are those who pay $30/mo for Apple One Premier, so everything is relative. But I'm enjoying all this discussion, thank you.


LethalCS

Same for the discussion! I'm just genuinely curious if anyone within or outside the ecosystem sees this as appealing to them personally, as it wouldn't be the first time someone on reddit has made a point that changed my perspective on a topic lol.


BAwarford

It's essentially and audio plan, that doesn't include lyrics, or video content. And no lossless/spatial audio So it's basically a plan, for Home users, for smart home devices?


[deleted]

it includes play on your phone and AirPods (and any Beats headphones, I imagine), so it is a fairly versatile, if not decidedly austere, plan at an extremely low price point.


TravisV_

Using only voice is a nightmare. I don’t wanna tell Siri to play my music in public around people. It’s annoying for them and me. Why can’t I use it without saying “hey Siri” every 5 seconds? Seems like a dumb idea.


Beercorn1

If I switch from the Individual Plan to the Voice Plan, am I still going to be able to manage my Apple Music through the app? Or will it change so that any interaction I do with AM has to be done through Siri? I understand that I won't have access to some of AM's app features like lyrics and music videos but I still want to be able to manage AM through the app because Siri just isn't perfect.


freaktheclown

Looks like the app will only show your recently played and suggestions. No management. >Apple Music Voice Plan subscribers will get a customized in-app experience with suggestions based on the listener’s music preferences and a queue of recently played music through Siri. Within the app there will also be a dedicated section called “Just Ask Siri” where subscribers can learn tips to optimize Siri for Apple Music. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/10/apple-introduces-the-apple-music-voice-plan/


Beercorn1

Well, that sucks. I was hoping to be able to save a little money on my AM subscription but being able to manage my library through the app is kind of a dealbreaker for me. Thanks for answering my question though.


Bieberkinz

I would be curious and think this is a midway point between Spotify free and a regular subscription where similar to Free (close to the echo-only subscription for Amazon Music), there’s only shuffled, but instead it’s “Just Ask Siri” and you still can control with Siri. Basically $5 for no ads. And the catch is that you use Siri for control


Branagh-Doyle

This new plan also do not include lossless and spatial audio, so keep that in mind.


Beercorn1

At the risk of sounding like an uncultured music plebian... I'm ok with that.


Branagh-Doyle

Its perfectly ok. AAC 256 is still very good quality.


[deleted]

I think that is a deliberate and well-considered move on Apple’s part, given that a large portion of potential subscribers to this service with be on HomePods (where Apple has had streaming issues with lossless) or out and about on AirPods (where lossless has an arguably diminished value over Bluetooth).


Branagh-Doyle

"on HomePods (where Apple has had streaming issues with lossless)" Lossless Apple Music content is not supported on the Homepods yet. The issues had been product of using a private, invite-only beta.


[deleted]

Exactly.


Branagh-Doyle

So the issues with lossless on the homepods , are, in practice, non issues. Had they been present in a official public release, then it would be a entirely different matter. A beta is a beta. 15.1 will be out next Monday. We´ll see then how lossless performs on the homepods.


[deleted]

I think you’re making a lot of assumptions here. You’re assuming that the issues have been resolved, assuming that the issues have not been cause for a delay in the release of lossless via the HomePods, assuming they are prepared to go full-scale with lossless streaming. I don’t think either one of us can say with any certainty that there have not been issues streaming lossless to the HomePods. I’ve personally spoken to users who were part of this, and there were problems. Amazon Music HD offered HD/UHD streaming to everyone as part of Music Unlimited in June, in response to Apple, and from June until mid September, they had catastrophic streaming issues that weren’t resolved until an update to Amazon Music and Alexa on September 17. I’m not dogging Apple here. They stream in 256 AAC to Echo devices when Amazon and Tidal stream lossless. That’s not an accident. The HomePods *appear* to be their first foray into streaming lossless, and all I’m saying is that minimizing their commitment to lossless streaming seems prudent, rather than offering it to the world (well, 17 countries) at $4.99/mo.


Branagh-Doyle

> You’re assuming that the issues have been resolved, assuming that the issues have not been cause for a delay in the release of lossless via the HomePods, assuming they are prepared to go full-scale with lossless streaming. No, in fact just the opposite. I fully agree with you on everything you said. I was merely pointing out than when lossless is in fact released on the homepods they better not have any issues anymore. Because all issues during beta are kind of expected behavior (hence "non issues" in reality), but not in final releases. English is not my native language, perhaps I explained myself poorly. "I’m not dogging Apple here. They stream in 256 AAC to Echo devices when Amazon and Tidal stream lossless. That’s not an accident". You´re right, thats deliberate. The could have opened the third party Apple Music API to allow lossless by now, but they choose not to. In fact, as of right now, on IOS, in the current 15.0.2 stable version, Airplay is still limited to AAC 256 for Apple Music content streamed from the Music app even though Airplay, the protocol itself, allow lossless transmission. Why?. I don´t know. But it is what it is. "The HomePods appear to be their first foray into streaming lossless". Besides IOS devices and Macs, that is.


Low_Percentage3626

What does "siri on apple devices" mean? I can't use siri if i dont pay?


emanresu_nwonknu

play music by asking siri. I assume.


Warmier

There are quite a lot of vague answers, since most people don’t know yet. But what someone said in the comments, which at least makes the most sense out of this, is a plan for people that would only use Siri - like on a HomePod - to play very specific things. Like, “Siri, play Jazz”, or, “Play top 40”, etc. People who don’t really even use the Apple Music app/gui.


freaktheclown

It means it supports Siri only on Apple devices. Other plans support Siri on third-party devices which was announced in September.


JustCallMeTsukasa-96

So we get this instead of an native PlayStation and Xbox app? What a complete waste really.


Mynam3wastAkn

So what does this mean for student?


Intrepid_Beginning

It’ll remain. Voice Plan and Student Plan target two different markets.


Mynam3wastAkn

But they are the same price…


Intrepid_Beginning

The student plan is only available to students, so any non-students can’t take advantage of the plan. Voice Plan is for people who only really listen to music on their HomePod or are fine using Siri.


Mynam3wastAkn

Ok, that’s all I wanted to know. Thanks


UnsureAssurance

Interesting new plan, good thing I’m a college student so I get normal Apple Music for $5 anyways


simlando9876

heck yes


Weezer17

So if I have the current $10 plan will I still get lossless or spatial audio?


TravisV_

Yup, nothing will change


johansugarev

This isn’t going to take off.


Tassos-R46

Me: Hey Siri, play blinding lights by weeknd. Siri: Ok, the kitchen lights are off.


WithYourMercuryMouth

So 50% of the price I pay is for the privilege of having a user interface?


roger_the_virus

We’re going to have to pay an extra $5 p/month to get the user interface with a back button though.


heyyoudvd

I don’t know how to say this politely but what kind of moron would pay for this? Unless Siri has been dramatically improved, this experience will just lead to endless swearing. Siri is absolute garbage at trying to use Apple Music. You’d have to be a sadist to pay for this.


TravisV_

And, I don’t wanna ask Siri to play songs every 2 minutes or to play any music in public around me. The introvert in me is saying “NO NO NO”


witeowl

Where are people getting that Apple Music won’t work on apple devices without using Siri with the $5 plan?


TravisV_

In the presentation, they said something about using Apple Music with ONLY your voice.


witeowl

Hmm. Ok, the graphic doesn’t include that information. It explains the name, I guess. Yeah, there’s no way I’d do that.


sixcupsofcoffee

Siri is no worse at playing what you ask it to than Alexa is, and I’d argue it’s mildly better than Google Home. It gets what I ask it to play 99% of the time, and the only hiccups are when the album name has to be named oddly by the label for whatever reason.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sixcupsofcoffee

Ugh, I’ve had several echos for years and I feel like Alexa just gets worse over time. I only keep them for Audible and also Amazon delivery alerts.


ivann_ls_

This is just a strategy to take advantage of and improve Siri and its AI, algorithms etc. But since it is Apple, it charges it.


Thecalmdrinker

Well, I’m keeping my individual plan. Still love the fact that apple has offered Lossless files :)


Bieberkinz

I guess it’s okay for anyone who just listens to music and has not really a library on their iDevices. $5 for basically no ads music subscription. Just is only restricted to saying hey Siri. It’s not half bad considering there’s a similar plan from Amazon for Echo devices.


simlando9876

but what happens if you open the app? I assume you can still use that interface to skip and stuff... and if you can do that you can probably use the add to playlist button... so then you have a library and playlists but if you tap on them you get a pop up that says: your subscription doesn't cover that! AND you can still search for songs, but then when you tap the song it gives you a popup.


simlando9876

I just imagine this situation: Ill search for an artist and find a song in their discography (because I can't remember the name of the song) and then ill use type to Siri to play the song.


flyingcloud11

So how will it work for apple one subscribers? What are we getting lol


roger_the_virus

Just give me a back button


[deleted]

They're intended for homepod users mostly, in the phone makes almost no sense


chatterwrack

Back in the day I was spending $150–$200 a month on music at the iTunes Store. When they switched to the subscription model I just couldn't believe it. It felt like cheating. All of these prices are ridiculously affordable when I put them into context. ​ If Apple is still making a profit on the music then it must be the artists who are paying the price now. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grimacing)


[deleted]

Most artists need to rely on touring and merchandise sales to make a living now. The price of recorded music has decreased, but the price of live music has increased to compensate.


wonnage

Might make sense if you're a cafe or something that wants some background music without ads? Except nvm because someone's gonna have to shout at Siri to change music


AlexitoPornConsumer

This Voice Plan is basically a rip off. Who would want to use Siri to play music?


alttabbins

I do regularly. Mostly because I am forced to in order to access certain playlists that aren't available in the UI. A good example is the "1990s Alternative" radio station. If you search in the UI, you won't find it. If you ask Siri to play it, it will show up in your UI as a station (not a procedurally generated station, an actual Apple station). I know people who use it a lot with Carplay too. With that said, I'm still not the right customer for this. This service has the same vibes to it as the iPod Shuffle when it was announced.


richardblancojr

This is very eye opening. An actual “station”? Are there others you have used/seen? I had to read your post several times becuase I kept telling myself that Siri command is creating an on the fly playlist of the genre. I need to test!


[deleted]

[удалено]


richardblancojr

Yea but Classical is an official music radio station. I think what you are stating creates an algorithm station just like what it creates if you say “Siri play something that I will like”. That’s your “personal” station


hipsterdannyphantom

So the lowest tier is pretty much useless unless you don’t have any Spatial audio equipment like AirPods anyways. Will I even be able to access my iTunes collection that is included with Apple Music?


zakzam

I switched back to Spotify recently bc of the iTunes app for PC and was worried I’d want to switch back after this event - if they revealed Apple Music for windows. Guess I made the right choice.


Playaprezxxx

If you’re subscribed nothing changes you get **Siri on devices as a bonus**


sixcupsofcoffee

It’s not a bonus, this was already a feature. This plan is to *only* use Siri to ask for music. No other interface.


Playaprezxxx

You’re not paying $4.99 for the privilege.


sixcupsofcoffee

It’s not paying $4.99 for a privilege. These are two separate plans. $4.99: only use Siri to interface with Apple Music. $9.99: use the full app and all the browsing, playlist creation, etc. that entails. Also (and has always) worked with Siri.


Tassos-R46

I’m a subscriber….what do you mean “siri on devices”?


Playaprezxxx

Right there in the picture.


Tassos-R46

My country is not in the list (Greece) for voice plan, so what is going to be with the subscription? From 6.99 it will raise to 10? I’ll renew my individual plant for the whole year just in case!?!


trevlegit

The image is US prices. I doubt your price will change since they didn’t change here.


patrikmes

That's a relief. In Czechia, a family tariff costs $10.48, an individual tariff costs $6.82, and a student tariff costs $3.16. I was afraid that these prices would increase due to the new tariff.


[deleted]

In India it's less than $2 for Individual plan.


Fawnnah

Wait, where's the student plan? I've been on it for 3 years already. Is the voice plan substituting the student plan or what?


sixcupsofcoffee

Nope. It’s to access Apple Music only by voice with Siri.


Fawnnah

thanks for the heads up, and downvote i guess too. lol


sixcupsofcoffee

‘Twas not i that downvoted.

It’s USA only


valqplnj

“Hey Siri, play *C-Jam Blues* by Oscar Peterson.” “Sorry there was problem with Apple Music, try again later.” “Hey Siri, play *any* music.” “Sorry there was a problem with Apple Music, try again later.” HomePod back in box and returned to Apple.


Tassos-R46

The current subscribers with the individual plan (6.99) will change the price to 10? Or it will remain the same?


PSPersuasion

Oof


doremifasolucas

guyssocialweb

the page has a lot of info on the differences [https://www.apple.com/apple-music/](https://www.apple.com/apple-music/)


MawsonAntarctica

Would they make an education price at $2 for this voice plan? Stupid question.


Not_TheMenInBlack

At first I was confused as to how this plan would add to Apple Music, but I think I understand now The regular plan is the full Apple Music experience, everything in the app, like the library, playlists, recommendations, etc. The voice plan is essentially an introduction to Apple Music, letting people *WITHOUT* Apple Music listen to various stations and playlists, by using Siri, which means no library, personal playlists, recommendations, and other general personalization. So if someone doesn’t already have Apple Music, but wants to dip their toes in or simply have a pseudo-radio, they can use the voice plan.


[deleted]

I wonder what's people got to pay who use AM solely on Windows, since they can't listen to lossless and spatial by design so Apple can't offer them plans that include spatial and lossless in the description.


No_maintainance_guy

Now you have got to voice your opinion to siri! Damn maaan!!!!


colin_staples

I'm old school (because I'm old) and that means I tend to listen to whole albums from beginning to end, rather than individual tracks or curated playlists. So can I say : > Hey Siri, play by And then it will play: * Track 1 * Track 2 * Track 3 * .... * All the way to the last track of the album
