Siri really drives me nuts at times, as does my new car's entertainment system. But one is a case of poor programming decisions, the other is much more complex.
My iPhone has a lot of rock music. If I tell Siri "shuffle rock" she pulls up Rocky Horror's Time Warp. If I say "shuffle rock genre", same thing. I have to say "shuffle genre rock".
I think it's a matter of search result prioritization. I think the priorities should be play list, genre, song title, in that order. Looks like it is song title first, and at that, it's hitting on a partial match.
My car has Bluetooth sync, along with sync cable or audio cable for user-provided devices. I listen to more podcasts than music in my car as my commute is an hour daily up and down the mountain. I'm almost caught up on NPR's Fresh Air podcast, I'm now up to early December. When I get current with that, then I might listen to more music in my commute. I do most of my music listening at work through a BT Oontz speaker that's pretty sweet.
