To sign up for the UK version of Amazon music do you need to have a UK payment card added to your account?

Yes. Mine didnt go through complaining about country of the card.

finally figured this out. On desktop site go to amazon.co.uk, go to accounts and lists, select amazon music, go to settings and scroll to bottom where it says your amazon music region. Change this to uk and away you go.

I purchased the family subscription and cancelled the free trial yesterday morning. How long did you have to wait to get your code sent to you?

Didn't work for me. Do I need to cancel the free trial first?

Signed up on Fri, got trial cancelled and paid up. Code not working so got on to chat today to discover revolut had reverted the payment and the echo deal ended this morning so they won't entertain me. :-(

Anyone tried with this. What's the exact procedure. I'm already a student prime member.

Mine coming tomorrow! Any hints /tips setting it up? Does it play Spotify, radio etc?

Super sound from the dot, great wee device.... But the alexa app is awful. Very slow to load up pages. Mine keeps showing that my dot is offline... Even though its working fine. So I can't change any settings in the app. Spent ages yesterday between live chat and a phone call trying to fix it... No joy. Rep agreed that the app is the problem.

Same happens to me with the app - dot is offline. Only workaround I've discovered is to sign out of the app and back in again. It works as expected for a while and I can switch some stuff around, add new skills etc. It'll appear offline again after a while though.

Edit - Just checked the app and it's still online. I've signed in and out twice so far but the 2nd time seems to have stuck. Been online for about a week now it seems.

Strange that a company as big as amazon that has great customer service has such a clunky, poor app that doesn't function properly for everyone.

Yeah it's mad. I just checked the app and it's offline again. No idea what's going on tbh.

I've some cheap home automation stuff from random companies and their app integration works perfectly. I've no idea why Amazon can't get it right.

I've the same issue with a Samsung s8. I have to clear data and force stop in app settings, sign back in to get it to work. Amazon support were no help at all. It's such a pity as I love using my echo and dots, they are great devices

Yes, dot is very impressive. At least it still works, just a pity we can't change settings using the app. When I was talking to customer service rep yesterday, I asked her to pass on to developers to drastically improve their app. She said she would....

Their apps are poor all over the place. Prime video is as slow as Helix Pomatia and has horrible handling of subtitles.
