I don't know what the difference is if any, but I have an older echo
dot. I have an echo, but it does not have a line out jack, so I bought
the dot. The dot is small, about a couple inches tall and has a small
speaker, not really meant for music. You plug it ito the line in on
your computer or a line in jack on your stereo is what I do. If you
have a song on your computer and play it, the echo dot isn't any part of
that. If you tell the echo to play a song it gets it on amazon's server
and is played through the dot, and if you have it plugged into a stereo
amp or your sound card, it will play through there. It will give
weather for various places. Their page is not really speech friendly,
but it sort of works as far as settings, skills and so forth. I use
mine a lot. You can play trivia crack, a couple text based adventure
games, set a timer, and on and on. You can say "alexa wicopedia", and
she says "what should I look up?"
Write off list if you have any more questions to
[email protected]
or
[email protected] which will show up as from tiny puppy.
Good luck.

Hi:
I think I might purchase an echo dot and if I could, a little help.
Once I connect to theinternet, then the questions.
First
Can I connect to my computer and if so, where
Second:
If I ask elexa to play neil diamond and it is on my computer, will it play
and if so, through my computer speakers or through the echo dot
Last:
If all goes well and I am connect to the internet and I ask Alexa what is
the temperature in whatever, will it work?
Thanks very much
Don
