Q: Siri on macOS starts album from random track

I recorded a quick video to demonstrate the issue. Can be found here.

 

Whenever I tell Siri to start playing an album, she does so from a random point, basically rendering her useless.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), macOS Sierra (10.12)

    I see what you mean. I wouldn't say it renders Siri useless but if all you want Siri for is to start an album from the first track. Kinda

     

    It might have something to do with shuffle play which despite my best efforts i can't seem to turn off for albums.

    My wording might have been a bit too harsh haha. What I meant was "it renders her useless, in my book, when I want to play an album".

    I know.

    I don't know if it's a Siri problem or an iTunes problem or both. Perhaps someone will have an idea. I haven't had coffee yet. I just replied to confirm the problem.

    Yes, and her ability to find songs that I ask for is random as well.  The words are heard properly from her transcription of my voice.    "Play so what by miles davis" ends up playing "what now" by Martin Modeski and Wood.  Often if I ask for a specific song from a specific musician it seems she can't locate the song and plays a random song by the artist.  Very frustrating
