When you followed the link in the previous post what did you see? Or don’t you know how to open a link? A link on a web page is a way to open a new page with additional information. A Link is usually shown as blue text, and to open the new page position your mouse cursor anywhere within the blue text (the mouse cursor will turn into an hand) and click the left mouse button. Let me try to make it perfectly clear:

I was able to open the link ok, but when I ask Alexa to ‘play Calvin playlist’ she plays another Apple playlist with Calvin and not the one in my iTunes playlists. Hope that makes sense. I have updated my preferences on Alexa to use Apple Music as my default.
Doesn’t tell me what to ask Alexa in order for her to play the playlist. My Alexa is connected to Apple Music, but cannot find a command that plays my playlist.
Alexa will play the first one it finds. Try renaming your playlist to distinguish it from the Apple playlist.
I have tried renaming it now, but keeps finding an ‘essentials’ playlist in Apple Music. 😫
