Currently using Amazon Music Unlimited (family subscription) for 4 speakers at home. We can listen independently to music on a speaker in a room.

Considering moving to Tidal or Spotify Family subscriptions. Are there any limitations if we want to keep using it the same way, given they're not Amazon products like Alexa?

ChatGPT tells me there should be zero issues..but AI is not always right, hence the question!

Thanks. Not sure why I thought it had limitations. Will most likely switch to Spotify soon.

interesting and good to know.

Basically I’m trying to achieve the following:

Using a streaming service for my DJ equipment. Currently using Numark Mixstream Pro+ which works with Amazon Music.

However, might upgrade the Pioneer FLX4 in the best future. Using Rekordbox software, I can use Spotify (won’t work with Amazon Music).

Therefore, if I switch provider, it’s important that it works with our Alexa speakers too
