I bought the echo dot last week for £10 came with a month of amazon music. Really like it.
I have just bought another two for the kids Christmas presents.
I don’t have amazon prime
to enable us all to use our own for own music Is a family subscription to amazon music the cheapest and easiest solution.

I've got a family subscription to Amazon Prime, but my girls seem to prefer Spotify for some reason. I don't subscribe to that so, as they use it, they must pay themselves I presume. |

And I take it amazon prime music is just as good as amazon music unlimited Music drops on and off with prime like the films so occasionally your playlist you may change for a while but the £100 for prime over the year is a bargain when you add in the books, film, tv, music and rapid delivery service £2 a week for all that bargain 👍 With the unlimited which I don’t pay for you do have a bigger category but my tastes are eclectic enough it hasn’t bothered me if I can’t listen to something I just find something else |

And I take it amazon prime music is just as good as amazon music unlimited To be honest, I forget what we've got. It's Prime, Unlimited or something else but I know it's Amazon 'something' and I know all the family can use it, and I think it has been able to play everything I've asked it to play over the years except for "Badges, Posters, Stickers or Tee Shirts" by Dire straits, and "Magic Roundabout" by Jasper Carrott. As Mattador said above, there seems to be enough there to satisfy most people's taste and when you add in all the rest of the deal, it's quite a good buy. |

Say Happy Birthday to her today. And then do the Marsh Mallow thing she suggests I don't mean to be a paranoid dick about it mate but isn't a she. It's a piece of AI hardware put in your living space by one of the worlds leading tech company's. Ask it if it relays keywords back to amazon and helps it build a profile of you and your family for the purpose of selling you more stuff. I am not saying it is evil but it isn't a she and it isn't part of your family. Just see it for what it is. |

As I said I don't think Alexa is a bad thing I just think we need to stay aware of what it is and what it does. |

Stories over here of burglars walking up to a nearby window and saying “Alexa, unlock the house”
If you networked your house, works a treat for them.
