Hi Carol - What do I need to do to ask for an artist please? Might upgrade to 
eos5 if I can use voice to ask for tracks, I was put off because I would lose 
my current female voice, and I can hear her ok with my hearing loss! -

  Andy,

  If you haven't upgraded to IOS 5 then you can't ask for a track but you can 
play an album or songs by an artist.
