If there is a skill for Apple Music that is definitely a huge bonus and I'm really surprised Amazon is doing this because this. I recently signed up for the free Amazon Unlimited trial and was seriously thinking of keeping it because of how well it works with my Sonos system, but my wife and I have an Apple Music family membership and I certainly won't keep the Amazon Unlimited subscription if I can use Alexa to play from my Apple Music subscription. I am curious how this may work with family memberships where my wife and I both use Apple Music with our own Apple Id's.
I also read recently that you can now or very shortly will be able to add a Skype skill and use Alexa to make Skype calls.
