We have Spotify family, so the kids all have their own Spotify with their stuff. We got echo dots this Christmas. You can only use Spotify on one dot at a time, there isn’t a way to have dots linked to one amazon account playing separate Spotify content at the same time.
From reading around it (though I might be wrong) it seems you can do this with google home minis once everyone has their own google log in but not with Amazon. This functionality is offered with Amazon music family unlimited and they want people to buy into their architecture for streaming I guess.
Anyway, anyone who has got dots for the family and wants people to be able to play separate music at the same time what have you done?
I see my options as
-buying the Amazon family subscription in addition to Spotify,
-getting rid of Spotify and moving to Amazon music
⁃ I thought maybe it would work to have the older kids connect their phones locally to their echos via Bluetooth and play their own Spotify playlists. Had seen this suggested as a workaround but it doesn’t work.
⁃ Set up separate Amazon accounts for each echo dot. I don’t know if this would work or what the downside would be in terms of communication between echo dots on the same WiFi but different Amazon accounts. I asked Amazon and this was the answer, which I don’t understand
⁃ “If you set up a group or any other purpose with all the device you need to register all the device in same account. But for music subscription only we able to access it in different account also. For all future it need to registered in same account”
Any thoughts?
