Nearly every time I request a song from a Google device, I specify the song title and the artist, and it plays some terrible remix, live version, or cover by another artist. It is very rare that it actually plays the album version that I’m asking for; or that anyone who requests a song would ask for.

Are these selections coming from Google? From Apple? I’ve requested songs using Siri using the exact same prompts verbatim and it will generally play the album version that 99% of people who request that song would want to hear. Are there settings that can be changed to improve this?

The final straw was just now when I asked it to play Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven in my son’s room who is having trouble sleeping. It began blasting a gosh awful club version of what has to be the worst bastardization of any song in music history.

If I can’t fix this issue, I may have to switch to a different device. We’ve had Amazon Echoes as well, and they weren’t much better.
