Hi,
You can get a much higher quality recording of ditties by sharing them
to Twitter, then using Youtube-DL to download the resulting Twitter
video URLs. That's the only way I know of to get a first generation
copy. As played through Amazon Echo, a lot of treble is lost.
I, too, wonder what voices they're using to sing. The fact that it can
sing whatever you throw at it means they're not using a huge library of
samples or something.
