    Hi Folks!
    Any help on the below would be great!

    So as i read it:
    You can subscribe to amazon music for 3.99 pounds on one Echo Dot.

    As I have read on countless threads on multiple sites and i understand fully:
    "Synchronisation is not possible" thats fine.

    What I would like to know in the case of adding more Dots in the house.

    This special subscription rate of 3.99 for one Dot is:...

    Dot installed in kitchen.
    =================
    You ask Alexa to play music in the kitchen using Amazon Music sub at 3.99.
    Music starts playing


    Dot installed in e.g. Bedroom.
    ===================
    With this sub for one Dot... do I ask alexa to stop music playback in the kitchen before i leave.
    Go to Bedroom and ask Alexa to resume?
    Or does asking Alexa to resume automatically stop kitchen and start playback in bedroom.


    OOOORRRRR!!!! and this is the biggy!!!!!!
    Is the music restricted to only the kitchen Dot?

    Does the stipullation mean 'one Dot at a time' or 'on a specific Dot'?

    Thanks

    UPDATE: Thanks to givecredit below for the response.

    I've also found this article which is more specific than other online articles - (amazing how vague or open to interpretation most articles are!?)

    Its on a specific dot.

    The Spotify "Family" deal on bargain alerts is a great music deal for all your dots

    how does that work? I have the family Spotify but you can only link one of the 6 accounts to Alexa. I have one spare that I set up for my smart tv which I've linked to the Echo but I can only play on one device at a time. Is there any way around that?
