@sean Thank You
Ding is working just fine. Thank You. A little annoying sound and I was thinking of replacing it with another sound file. What if I wanted google to say something instead of ding, can I give it text to say easily?

@teitlebot
change other wav file and rename it as ding.wav,
Anyway, if you mean Text-To-Speech, nope. (My prior had that functionality but I abandoned it) I don’t want to back again.

@teitlebot totally agree!

[teitlebot]

@sean ok. Can I ask why you abandoned it?

@teitlebot
Complexity. And most TTS solutions ate not so good to hear. The best Google solution is not free.

[teitlebot]

@sean I see. I manually created a sound file and replaced it and it works fine, although a bit choppy.

@sean Next Question
Why doesnt google allow me to use the MM to play music. I can get it to play out of my google home mini in my kitchen using the MM but there doesnt seem a way to use the MM speaker to play. not even spotify.
Although youtube does work as you seem to have added that functionality.

Idk. Because this sdk might be just on beta stage?
