Another option is to subscribe to a music streaming service, such as Amazon Music or Spotify, and create a playlist with all the songs you want to play continuously. You can then use the "Alexa Play [Playlist Name]" command to play the playlist and Alexa will automatically shuffle the songs and play them continuously.
Lastly, you can also use the Amazon Echo to control your smart home devices, such as smart lights and plugs, to set up a relaxing ambiance in your room while playing music.

How do I stop Alexa from turning off music?
If Alexa is turning off music on its own, there could be a few reasons causing this behavior. Here are some troubleshooting tips:
1. Check if you have set a sleep timer: Alexa has a built-in sleep timer that turns off music after a set duration. To check this, say "Alexa, how much time is left on sleep timer?" If there is an active sleep timer, you can disable it by saying "Alexa, cancel sleep timer."
2. Check if your Alexa device is dropping the Wi-Fi connection: If your Alexa device is losing Wi-Fi connectivity, it may pause or stop the music playback. To fix this, try relocating the device closer to your router or resetting your Wi-Fi network.
3. Check if there is an issue with the music service: If you are playing music from a third-party service like Spotify or Pandora, make sure that the service is not experiencing any issues. You can check the service’s status page or try playing music from a different service.
4. Check the device’s settings: Some Alexa devices allow for certain settings that control music playback, such as autoplay, crossfade, or shuffle. Check if any of these settings are causing the issue, and adjust them accordingly from the device settings menu.
Follow these troubleshooting tips to help stop Alexa from turning off music on its own.
