Hi Tim,
I suppose from my hardware perspective, I bought my last stereo in 1991,
and it still works, I am unsure why someone would need both, with need
the buzz word here.
Its nifty that inter-product negotiations are taking place of course. Add
that Amazon did come first with folks perhaps moving to Apple Music for
product quality reasons..but both?

Hi,
While the Alexa/Google/Spofify/Apple Music battle for supremacy continues,
there does appear to be negotiations between some of the players for
inter-racial cooperation. Apple has made arrangements with Amazon and Samsung
for their devices to have access to the Apple Music environment. Those with
Apple ecosystem devices often have other devices as well and/or services like
Amazon Prime for purchasing products. In the case of Amazon Prime, this also
gives you a basic Amazon Music subscription, so the waters muddy once again.
Alexa and Apple Music do speak to each other, just not as efficiently as Apple
to Apple. There are links out there that explain how to use Apple Music on
your Alexa device that would probably do better than I could in a short message
here. Again, it's not the smoothest relationship, but it is doable in specific
situations.

Actually, is it truly?
Amazon wants you to focus on their service when using their devices, so they
have little reason to support Apple music, certainly not if they prefer you use
their own.
additionally, I had a thought while writing this message. granted I do not
use either service, but wonder if there might be a copyright factor crossing
platforms like this, especially where the licensing rights are concerned?
someone told me ages back that ITunes used to be rather destructive where
private music libraries are concerned, our desire to play files of your own via
ITunes I mean.
Speaking very personally, as someone who still has a stereo...complete with
turntable smiles, I have to ask why a person needs access to both platforms in
a cross platform fashion? Why do you need to play apple music items using an
amazon product and the other way around? or why one needs playlists in both
platforms?
Just curious frankly,

Hey Shawn,
Well, it seems that we--or at least some of us--in the U.S. don't get it either.
I have Apple Music linked to Alexa on my phone, but when I try to play it on the
Sonos 1 using Alexa, she says "Apple Music is not supported on this device. To
play Apple Music, I actually have to use Siri on my phone with AirPlay. Pretty
Lame, imho.
Cheers,
Donna

Hi Simon. We countries that don't have the initials USA in their names don't
get Apple Music on the Echo just yet. Don't know why but that's Apple and
Amazon for ya.

Hi Donna,
From your phone yes, anything that is internal to your phones music collection
you can play through alexa.
Also apple music is available through amazon alexa now or at least on echo
devices.
I've been trying to get my itunes library from my server to be seen by my echo
but I've had no luck.

Subject: Does anyone know if it???s possible to play your iTunes library using
Alexa?
Hi all,
After about a month of trying to set up a smart home using Apple home, my
husband and I have finally given up and gone with Alexa. I would very much like
to be able to play my iTunes library on our Alexa device. Does anyone know if
there???s a way to do this?
Thanks,
Donna
