## Discussion

Discussion Implement this method to resolve the affinity type to which the media item is updated. Always strive toward a successful resolution to the specific media items, but feel free to ask for confirmation of the selected media items if there’s some uncertainty about the media items chosen. If you find multiple media items matching the same name, consider asking the user to disambiguate from among the most likely candidates. note: Don’t ask users for confirmation or disambiguation too often, as users may become frustrated and exit Siri.
