Can someone help me understand tech?!

My ds loves listening to music. We have an Amazon Alexa linked to my husbands Amazon account and often play music through that. Ds would like his own echo dot for his room (I hear these are very similar to Alexa but better speakers?)

Would he still be able to listen to music in the same way - ie would the dot link up to dh Amazon account too? Or would ds need his own Amazon account?

What is the difference between Alexa and the dot? It's so confusing, give me a stereo any day!!!!

It links into the same network/account.

Alexa can control other things like TV, shopping list etc. Dot is just the basic speaker and can do things like music, tell jokes etc.

Alexa is the technology. Dot of the device. There are lots of different devices that link to Alexa.

The dot can be linked to any Amazon account. If using Amazon music you can create different playlists for each person.
