Stuff all your old songs into the A-lady with this amazing skill. Plex allows you to play every audio file you ever owned on your Echo - including songs, unprotected audio books or any other digital recording you've got. You'll need to have a machine running somewhere to serve them and a bit of a setup, but after that all your audio will be on the tip of your tongue. Can it do video for Echos with a screen? Not sure - #DTDPod pls.

This aint Old MacDonald as we know it - but luckily it isn't a private eye trying to get to the bottom of the iniquities of an Orwellian dystopian agricultural autocracy either. Help Pertunia the pig obtain the keys to the mystery. BTW I also bemoan the fact that I've covered the AnyPod skill twice without realising it...

The lovely Jane Suh has joined the gang. Recorded on Valentine's Day, Jane brings us a choice selection of songs that the A-lady sings so long as you're in The States - or lucky enough to get some of the same songs as The States, I should say. If you don't, then at least you can now hear them for the first time.

Today we look at a skill that brings us a faithful version of the relatively complex (especially if we adopt the controversial Trumpington's Variations) game that is 'Mornington Crescent' - immortalised in that long-running and hugely popular BBC Radio 4 antidote to panel games; 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue' I'm afraid it would be far too long for me to explain the rules here. If you're interested please check out the Mornington Crescent Wikipedia page.

Phillip Chalker has joined the team with a great first demo contribution all the way from Down Under; Music Teacher. Learn the piano, its notes and fingering with this excellent skill. Note: Down Under UK-style is Australia and DTD cannot be held responsible for any confusion this may have caused its many listeners all around the world.

This superb skill has shown me just how little I know about the culturally-critical game that is cricket. Call myself an Englishman? I should be strung up from the scoreboard by the googlies.

In this additional episode I give you some top tips on completing the Magic Door's Haunted Lighthouse adventure (love that skill) plus a mention of what looks to be a new capability of the A-lady to receive notifications from your enabled skills .

Apologies if these jokes are offensive and stereotypical rather than finding the funnybone of your average Canadian - I'm afraid that you might need to be one to know either way. Chances are they're a mixture of both.

Just over a year after looking at this superb skill on the very first DTD episode, we reopen the Magic Door and embark on a recently added adventure; The Haunted Lighthouse. ooer!
