Seems like the flurry of updates to alexas so called skills has ceased. Its been a good few months since the release date. Still no news on napster which a number of people requested, still no news on the local stored media playing. Guess they wont be coming due to the silence.

Napster isn’t supported by Alexa or google home so your out of luck. And I don’t see those guys adding. You can certinaly as amazon or google.

Your only hope really on Napster it local library control would be a new Sonos voice service. If they do have such a thing on works I can’t imagine we would see until 2019.

Im happy to announce that youre incorrect on this Chris :D

Emailed napster and this was their reply...

Thank you for contacting Napster Customer Support,

I can understand your concern. Sure I'll help you with this.

I am sorry to inform that Napster is not yet compatible with the Alexa device. We are working with Alexa to bring Napster to the platform. We don't have an exact time frame at the moment but will let you know just as soon as it is available

Yay. Lets hope its not too long.

That sounds pretty similar to what TuneIn told me over a year ago when I asked about when TuneIn Premium would be available through Sonos. That still hasn't happened... and I'm convinced it won't ever happen.

Though Napster is definitely at a disadvantage with other music services being available through Alexa and they aren't... so maybe they have a fire lit under them... 🙂

I've not seen any new skills for Sonos connected via Echo to Alexa. Where are the commands to select a room etc? Certainly seems like the Beta is moving very slowly.
