Amazon Echo Question

Post by ruanddu »

Hello,

We currently have 1 Amazon Echo device and looking to purchase a second Echo. Can Amazon music be streamed independently on each Echo at the same time using the same Prime account if my wife and I use different email logins? For instance, my email is tied to the main Prime account and I added my wife’s email as the second user of our Prime account. If I log in to 2nd Echo device with her email instead of mine, can Amazon music be played simultaneously on both Echos? We are not currently paying for Amazon music, just using the free music that comes with Prime subscription. Thank you!

Yes you can.
This is not legal or certified financial advice but you know that already.

No. This type of question is best answered with a Google search quite honestly. I did research it.

Cheers

Thank you. I did research via Google but wanted to double-check I was understanding it correctly.

I don't think you can, I have multiple echo devices but all with same login. If its the same prime account, I suspect you won't be able to, it'll spit out a warning "amazon music is playing on another device, do you want to play here instead?"

It will then follow with an ad for the Amazon Family Plan.

You can listen to separate things at same time, i.e. one of you listens to your own music, or radio/spotify, while other listens to Amazon Music, or you can play the same music on both devices. You can also pair the devices so that same amazon music plays on both at same time...

We have three echos in our house and we just pair all three together to play the same music from Amazon Prime. We can play music on one and use the others for different uses without issue but I’m pretty sure you can’t play music from Amazon Prime on multiples at same time. You may however be able to play music on one using a Bluetooth connection to your phone and Amazon music on another. I’ve done both but never tried to do them at the same time.

You need the Family Unlimited music plan, with both of your logins sharing the Family plan.

We have ours configured this way.
