How to view all the songs you’ve identified with Siri
Ever identified a song with Siri and then forgotten what the name was?
If you do several songs in a row, or it’s been a while since you identified the song, it can be tough to remember. Luckily, when you ask Siri to identify a song, it keeps a record. In fact, it keeps an entire list right in iTunes. So, if you later decide you want to buy the song, or listen to it in your favorite music streaming app, all you have to do is know where to look!
How to view all songs you’ve identified with Siri via the iTunes app
- Launch the iTunes app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap on the list icon in the upper right hand corner.
- Tap on the Siri tab in the top navigation.
You’ll see an entire list of all the songs you’ve identified using Siri. Just pick the one you want and do whatever you want with it.
Samsung will allow you to remove unwanted ‘bloatware’ on the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge [Update: not quite]
Update: According to the folks at MobileSyrup, it looks like you won’t be able to fully remove pre-installed apps after all. Tapping on the “minus” button for pre-loaded apps (even those from Microsoft) simply disables them, rather than completely removing them. MobileSyrup demonstrates in the video below:

Amazon’s Fire TV Stick arrives in the UK next month for £35
Google’s Chromecast streaming dongle has proven to be quite the hit, but it does come with some drawbacks. There’s no physical remote, for instance, and the lack of menus or any overarching UI can be alienating for some. Amazon took a swing at the idea last October with the Fire TV Stick, and after launching in the US it’s ready to tackle the UK too. It’ll begin shipping on April 15th, although eager streamers can pre-order the gizmo today for £19. That’s a sizeable discount on the regular £35 asking price, which is just a smidge higher (£30) than Google’s offering in the Play store. If you’ve been weighing up a Prime subscription too, this might be the time to take the plunge; Amazon will knock the Fire TV Stick down to £7 for anyone that’s willing to sign up for a new membership.
As we mentioned in our original review, there’s a lot going for Amazon’s affordable streaming dongle. The hardware is a cut above its closest competition and the remote, alongside a slowly improving Fire OS, should appeal to homeowners looking for a more traditional set-top box experience. However, the deciding factor will probably be your preferred ecosystem and video streaming services. If you’ve accrued a hefty film collection in Google Play, you’re better off sticking with the Chromecast, but if Prime Instant Video is your jam, the Fire TV Stick could be the one to go for. For those who want to stay as platform-agnostic as possible, Roku’s Streaming Stick is a top-notch option too.
