PlaySong

Plays one each of all renditions of a specified song/tune/track title by a specified artist on the specified/assumed/elicited player.

One variant of a duplicated track from multiple albums/compilations is picked at random, but variations in brackets like (Live) or (Acoustic) are treated as separate songs. Alexa will tell you how many tracks were queued in the process. If you use one of the partial specification utterances instead of saying it all in one shot, the missing names will be elicited by Alexa on an item-by-item basis until she has all the parameters needed.

If you leave out the {Artist} name initially, the skill will try and match using just the song {Title}. If there is/are match(es) and they are all by the same artist, the title with the best fuzzy match will play. If the search returns multiple artists then you will be asked what artist you had in mind.
