    Hi
    I have a question about Echo speakers and the Alexa system
    When I have two such speakers in different rooms and added to one Alexa application, can I listen to music at the same time a different one on each speaker?
    I mean, two people in different rooms would like to listen to each other's music.
    I have seen many descriptions of how to make a multi-room and play the same thing on all of them, but this just does not interest me.
    I added each speaker to a different room. When I tell Alexa to play music in, for example, the living room, it immediately turns off the one that is in the other room.
    I don't even want voice control, but so that I can play my music when I'm actually working and my wife at the same time listening to something else in the other room
    Is this possible?

    Greetings
    My wife.

    Unfortunately it seems to me that you would have to connect the speakers to different profiles - accounts.
    Maybe a separation in the settings into different rooms would suffice, in the sense of selecting in the settings that the speakers are separated by different rooms.
    And why I am writing about different accounts, it is possible that there could be, for example, licensing involved, that can use one account and one music playback session at the same time. This is, for example, the case on Spotify without a family account.

    Thanks for the reply
    I will be testing at the weekend. For now, I have split the speakers into two rooms. They play together or separately, but together it's exactly the same.
    I'll also try with a two-account setup, maybe that will be the solution
    I'll definitely let you know what I got out of it.

    Hello
    Sorry for the delay in replying, but I had some time off.
    Unfortunately I was not able to make the speakers play different music at the same time. I tried various options but finally gave up. Of course I'm not saying it's not possible, but I at least haven't found a way. Either one plays or the other.

    >>21071790 >>21071790 an easy way is to change the wake word of the device, e.g. instead of alexa use e.g. ECHO this possibility is in the device settings under the name "wake word" you can choose from: alexa, amazon, computer, echo or ziggy.

    Thank you for the hint. After the change unfortunately it doesn't work, I mean it works one on Alexa, the other on Echo, but when I turn on one speaker the other one stops playing. Maybe something else needs to be changed?

    And what are you playing music from? Maybe you have some kind of playback device paired to both speakers. My suggestion is to go for broke and reset both speakers. I have just tested at my place and unfortunately it works for me. Echo plays RMF FM radio and Alexa on the phone plays music from Spotify.

    I did as you wrote and it works on both meaning it was a Spotify issue, thanks for your help

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the challenge of playing different music simultaneously on two Amazon Echo speakers using the Alexa system. The user inquires if it's possible to have each speaker play distinct music in separate rooms without one stopping the other. Initial suggestions include setting up different user accounts or profiles for each speaker to avoid licensing issues, as seen with services like Spotify.

Ultimately, the user discovers that the issue was related to Spotify, and after adjustments, both speakers can play different music simultaneously.
