Can Alexa play music without a subscription? My Home Mini will play a radio station if I ask it for a specific band or genre without a sub to YouTube Music.

Yes. It’s probably the most common usage for Alexa devices in our house. Kitchen timers and weather being the other common ones.

Yes, the unlimited subscription gives you access to a much larger selection of music.
