Apple Music via Amazon Alexa
Userlevel 2
I am one of the many I am sure, to have purchased an Amazon Alexa after Sonos recent update. I also signed up to Apple Music once integrated with Sonos awhile back, but I am unable to link Apple Music and Amazon Alexa directly which in my view severly limits the point of Amazon Alexa and Sonos working together. I cannot say “Alexa play Parklife by Blur in the lounge” because Alexa does not recognise the Apple Music Library? Is there a work around, or is this on the Sonos/Alexa roadmap? If not, the welcomed integration between Amazon Alexa and Sonos may be not so welcome after all....

It can't be controlled by Siri? If not, just replace it with an Amazon Fire TV, which comes with a remote with Alexa enabled.
I might consider that. I've been an Apple TV fan for a long time. But upgrading to the new 4K version hasn't happened yet, so it's a good time to re-evaluate the options. How comprehensive is FireTV?

Amazon and Apple are bitter rivals. Not much chance Amazon is going to allow Alexa to fully control Apple Music.
Same exact boat here. Also would love to control my Apple TV by voice.

Mike Watts, You and I are in the same boat. I too just purchased Alexa and pretty much all my music is on Apple Music. So, technically Alexa is pretty worthless to me right now.
The roadmap is to add other voice control platforms and Airplay 2. Options will increase over time. Rome wasn't built in a day.
You can control music by voice once it is playing
