I have Spotify Family. I want to play different music from spotify in 2 different rooms. In one room I have a sonos speaker and another I have an Alexa speaker.
When I play on the alexa it cuts out the Sonos speaker and vice versa. I get a message saying "playback from spotify was stopped because playback was started from another room or device. Spotify limits the number of simultaneous audio streams you can access from your device".
There must be a way to do this but I cannot figure it out and so I am beyond frustrated. Can anyone help me please?
If it is impossible with Spotify, is it possible with one of the other services e.g. Amazon Music or Apple Music?
Basically I want to play different music in different rooms on both Alexa speaker and Sonos speakers. Is there any way to make that work? Thanks in advance, and apologies if the answer is buried somewhere on the site already.
How do I play spotify on sonos in one room and alexa speaker in another?

Hi
Have you added the multiple accounts within your Spotify family account to the Sonos App as per:
https://support.sonos.com/s/article/2757?language=en_US
Lets call these Accounts A & B, both of which are added to Sonos
Whoever has set-up the Alexa account needs to add the other members of family to the Household within the Alexa app. They would need to add to their Alexa Account their music account within the Spotify family account. You should be able to ask 'Alexa, Switch Accounts' and if you have Sonos okaying music from Spotify Account A and Alexa logged into the account with Spotify B account then they should be able to work at the same time.
I hope that I've made that clear let us know how you get on.

I have it set up like that I think.
I have sonos set up with my main spotify account details (SpotA) , then I have the alexa set up with my wife's amazon account and her spotify account details (SpotB) and I still had issues. But I will try the 'Alexa, switch accounts' command when I get home tonight and see if that works.
I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks for your help
