Title: Five Alexas in the house. Still no music syncing. Sad.
Post by: iolinux333 on May 06, 2017, 12:15:08 pm
I'm surprised Amazon still hasn't added music syncing across some/all Alexa devices. It's not hard, I can think of three ways of coding it without even trying - after all, Sonos has been doing it for years.

Music sync would be THE killer feature that would sell millions more Echo devices.

I wonder what the holdup is?  Maybe Sonos has a patent and they won't sell rights at a reasonable fee?

I wish so hard every day I could have whole house music via Alexa.

I hope it's not mandatory.... last thing I want is the same music on every device in every room.

It certainly will not be mandatory. Read the article posted above.
