Can't play a specific song, even though it definitely exists.

Hey, 

I have a song that I like to play called 'Iron Hand' by Dire Straits. It's worked well for years, I just say "Play Iron Hand" and it does it. For the past couple of weeks, it's been playing an alternate version by a tribute band called 'Dire Strats', and I hate it. I blacklisted them on Spotify and it stopped that song playing, but now when I ask it to play Iron Hand it just plays a completly different song from the same original band.

Hi,

I have sometimes those issues, have you try to say instead of "hey google put iron hand" to say "Put the Dire Straits song iron hand"... Sometimes just by making the inversion or saying the band before the name of  the song it works.  I sometimes have to find different mix or intro to the same "words" for it to work good.

Cheers from France. Enjoy good music. 🙂

Hey folks,

@LeDino, appreciate the help!

@ShortRanga, Ledino is right! You can try to play around with the words when giving the command. Also, try playing the song in a different music provider to check if that works. 

 

Keep me posted. 

Thanks,
Nikki
