Spotify Family w/ 3 Amazon Echo Dots

[Buzzrock 14,901]

I spent like 5 whole minutes Googling this and couldn't find a solution (in fact I mostly found "it doesn't work) so I'm asking you surly bastards.

I have a Spotify Family account with separate logins for me, my daughter, and my son (wife doesn't listen to music).

We have an Echo in the kitchen and one in each kids room. I'd like for all three Echoes to stay on one Amazon account, but stream Spotify from each respective person's account. When the kids use my account it fucks up my Spotify suggestions, and it can only be used in one place at once.

Can this be done? Sub-question: can it be done with Amazon Music Unlimited?

I thought the reason to have kids was so they could figure this kinda shit out for you

Netflix is easy, it allows each kid to set up and use a separate profile which they have access to on any device. I'm looking for something similar for Spotify on their Echo Dots.

Not sure if possible, if the echos are all under one account I don’t think you can do separate logins for Spotify .

 

maybe Spotify for you and amazon music for them to keep it somewhat separate?

 

or

you can kill

your family

You can't do it.  Amazon is deliberately fucking Spotify on this to get people to use their Prime Music shit instead.

Your options are:

1. ditch echo and get Google Home instead which works flawlessly with Spotify family accounts;

2. set up dummy amazon accounts for each echo and link them all to the appropriate Spotify sub-account.  This will fail if you try to put all the dummy accounts under one "household" on Amazon.  Spotify feedback site has a long thread about this topic.
