Correct. Someone else had to point it out to me as well I think the default is the highest quality that you have paid for - which is fine as long as Rivian is paying for data ….

That's worked (next song) since July of '22 for me.Thanks, I was actually asking about Alexa voice command support. Sorry if I wasn't clear about that.
Thanks for that info! Is that with Spotify or Amazon Music or both? And what command are you giving? We could not get that to work with the Rivian employee's Spotify account during our test drive in October 2022 (at least not with the Alexa command we use with our in-home devices). It's also not listed in the Owner's Guide which still only lists:That's worked (next song) since July of '22 for me.
It’s neither. It’s Alexa. Amazon Music is just being played as an automatically enabled Alexa skill. And in my example DI.FM is configured as another completely separate Alexa skill.Thanks for that info! Is that with Spotify or Amazon Music or both?
With the Amazon music native app playing, I just say "Alexa, next" or "Alexa, next song" and it works. We don't have any Alexa devices in the house or have the Alexa app. Only configuration is with the Rivian.Thanks for that info! Is that with Spotify or Amazon Music or both?

Yes, I fully understand the Alexa ecosystem and skills. Been using Alexa devices for many years. You obviously don't understand the information I'm trying to flush out here and the answer to my question is 100% not "neither". jemkewl's Alexa voice command to skip to the next track is being applied to Alexa's Amazon Music because, as you point out, that is their default configured music service for playing music (as indicated by jemkewl in their follow up post). My very question was to ascertain whether they were using a native Rivian app such as Spotify or Tidal to play music or whether they were using Alexa's native music (the service for which can be configured as you point out) so that I would know which option(s) support skipping tracks. Based on the evidence presented by jemkewl, you can skip with Alexa integrations (such as Amazon Music) same as for any other Alexa device. But, so far, there appears to be no Alexa voice support to skip tracks within Rivian's native music apps because Rivian would have to implement that themselves, the same as they implement the integration to open the front trunk and other vehicle specific integrations. Rivian does support Alexa voice commands to start playback of music through their native Spotify app, so hopefully skipping tracks will be added in the future.It’s neither. It’s Alexa.

Thanks! You've actually been an immense help by confirming a functioning voice command for skipping tracks within the Alexa ecosystem. It seems Rivian may not have implemented Alexa voice support for this capability within their own native Spotify and Tidal apps. But at least now I know for what options skipping tracks does and does not work.With the Amazon music native app playing, I just say "Alexa, next" or "Alexa, next song" and it works. We don't have any Alexa devices in the house or have the Alexa app. Only configuration is with the Rivian.
Don't use Spotify or any other music app. Sorry, can't help there.
Nope… much simpler… when I received the notification I incorrectly assumed you were replying to me. My mistake. Chill!You obviously don't understand the information I'm trying to flush out here and the answer to my question is 100% not "neither".
