You don’t need to buy a new Echo to get Alexa’s best new feature




Amazon just dropped an entire cluster of Alexa-prepared rigging on us, including an overhauled Echo speaker with a sticker price of just $99. That is a deal contrasted with the $189 cost of its forerunner, however you can exploit Alexa's best new element on your old Echo stuff at this moment, for nothing: Multi-Room Music is taking off over the stage.

What is it? 


Multi-Room Music enables you to play your tunes or talk radio (charm!) at the same time over an assortment of Echo gadgets on a similar system. It works like a Sonos framework, directing sound to singular speakers all through a house. Or, on the other hand, you can put a few speakers around a huge room that is secured by a similar system, a strategy frequently utilized by rec centers, studios, or other extensive spaces. Essentially, wherever you are in the house, Slayer can be there, as well


You can likewise control the music playback in another room from the nearest Echo gadget. Along these lines, in the event that you neglected to kill the Megadeth in your children's room upstairs, you can turn it off by asking Alexa on the Echo in your parlor.

What adapt do you require? 


Multi-Room Music as of now works with the old Echo, the new Echo, Echo Plus, Echo Show, and Echo Dot. Shockingly, it doesn't work with the compact Amazon Tap, in any event not yet.


The Dot's worked in speaker is somewhat despicable, so you'll need to append it to an outside wellspring of sound, yet take note of that you can't utilize Bluetooth to do as such when utilizing Multi-Room Music. 

Outsider speakers aren't locally good right now, yet Amazon's product instruments will give outside makers the capacity to synchronize eventually not far off. 

How would I set it up? The Echo gadgets you need to incorporate should be incorporated into a gathering. This used to be an irritating undertaking since Echo gadgets had restricted gathering usefulness, yet a refresh taking off in October will give the gadgets full gathering access and avoid clashes. 

Past that, it's a straightforward matter of following the Alexa application's guidelines, which you can likewise discover here. 

What music administrations would it be able to play? This is the greatest disadvantage of the entire framework. At the present time, it just works with Amazon Music (duh), Pandora, IHeartRadio, and web radio administration TuneIn. Along these lines, in case you're a Spotify client, you're in a tight spot. Same goes for Apple Music (twofold duh). Amazon has said that both Spotify and Sirius XM bolster are descending the street, so make some Pandora stations and keep it together until further notice. 

Shucks, too awful I utilize Google Home… Cheer up, buddy! Google Home likewise has a comparative component that works with its Google Home speakers and the Chromecast Audio gadgets (the normal Chromecast can't hack it). You can look at this page for particular directions on the most proficient method to set it up on your gadgets.
