Echo Devices Don't Recognize Songs

I can't seem to find an answer to this question, but when playing music, I can see accurately what's playing through the Alexa app, and if I'm playing music on a single echo, it will accurately identify the song playing.

However, if playing music on multiple devices in the everywhere group (all echo devices), none of the echo devices will identify the song. Instead, each will say the last song that played on that individual device. Sometimes, they will say "I'm not sure what you mean. I don't see anything playing."

I've tried deleting the group, rebooting all the devices and the wifi, and then creating a new group with a new name... and the same thing happens.

I use the Amazon Music service if that matters.

Help?

2.2 Annual Average - What Are the Options?

We have a 1940s house in Colorado with a vented crawlspace (dirt floor, about 4-feet high) where the atmospheric furnace is located. When we bought the house, the 2-day radon monitoring was 2.3 in January in the living area. We got a long-term monitor that has shown 2.15-2.20 as annual averages.

Since 2.0-4.0 is the "consider" mitigation, we're considering it. Here are the options as we see it:

Option 1: Live with it as is for another ten years or so and then get a high-efficiency furnace (sealed combustion), close the crawlspace vents, and add submembrane radon mitigation.

Option 2: Do Option 1 now, which would mean replacing a furnace installed in 2019 that still works fine.

Option 3: Add a submembrane radon mitigation now with the open vents. Two radon mitigation companies said they can do this, but that they'd never done it before. One other company didn't recommend doing it (largely it seemed because it would get dirtier faster and because he'd never done it like that before?).

Option 4: Do nothing because 2.2 is low enough and none of the three radon mitigation companies consulted can guarantee below 2.7, although they all think they would be able to get 0.5-1.5. One company even said he would recommend doing nothing, especially since we have a whole-house air purifier attached to the furnace that apparently filters out a lot of the radon progeny?

Options we ruled out 1. We don't want to add vent fans in the crawlspace because apparently this can drop the temperature more in the winter, and we fear the uninsulated pipes in the crawlspace could freeze. 2. We also ruled out an ERV because one of the companies said that it wouldn't work well with our furnace system (but I forget why).

I just thought I'd get your thoughts on these options... specifically if there are any options we missed or if there are reasons to reconsider one of the options we ruled out?

I watched a limited series (possibly a movie?) where a girl had a guy over to her apartment and was going to cook him something, so she turned on the oven to preheat it but it turned out there were rats living in there. She freaked out and didn't know what to do, so I think she turned it on even hotter so that they would cook/die faster.
