Question

Has an update been released?

Just found Alexa on my echo Dot can now control Spotify on my Play:1

Has an update just been released to Alexa or Sonos as I don’t think I’ve seen any announcements and the Alexa skill still indicates Beta

Has anyone else found this to be working and has anyone had any success getting room groups to work?

    Was surprised too after randomly trying it out.

    “Alexa, play today’s top hits on lounge.”

    A little bit buggy at the start but stabilizes after a few seconds of buffer.

    Spotify is working for me too.

    I started up an Amazon subscription just to use the Alexa integration, Spotify is still active. Yesterday I got Alexa to play "Michael Buble Christmas" worked fine from Amazon Music, today I requested the same and she said she couldn't find it. SO I asked "Play Michael Buble" to try and catch her out. She played a Buble track and the second track was a Buble Christmas one!! Checked the Sonos app to see what was going on and it indicated Spotify as the source!!!

    Now how to prioritise one service over the other.

    Go to Alexa app -> settings -> music & media and choose default music service
