Siri Request Question/Support

Is it possible to ask Siri to perform two different actions in a single request?

I’ve been trying to ask my HomePods to play a specific song and then another specific song in sequence, but it only plays the first song. 

For example, I’ve been saying: “Hey Siri, can you play Fix You by Coldplay and then Leave the Door Open by Bruno Mars?”

It seems Siri doesn’t queue the second song. Is there a way to achieve this?

why not just create a playlist with only those specific songs in the ask it to play that playlist. Or use a shortcut perhaps

It solves the problem for these 2 songs and not the general one

To OP: Siri is dumb af, IMO no way to achieve the desired result

well I tried the same with google and it must be as dumb then as it would not play one song then the other. So I dont think its siri specific I think its just voice interaction devices in general. Amazon is the funniest as it just tries to sell me stuff everytime.

This might help you with the limitations of siri

By the way, do you want to buy a pair of Christmas socks with 70% off?

I just want the stupid fucking thing to turn off a timer or an alarm when it’s going. Half the time I have to walk up to the stupid thing and physically activate Siri.

Oh, and fucking hell l. if I request a song, check if that song is in my library first … don’t just play the first song you find, with the same title in the entire Apple Music catalogue…

Sometimes I think I could sue Apple for selling something that doesn’t work properly and it’s so bugged. I’m stuck with three dumb HomePods and every time I need to use them I need to get my phone since Sire can’t perform any simple action..

The only thing that are two different things in one question, that works with me and Siri is telling to “put all the lights out except the bedroom”.
