Yipiyiya,


Well, not exactly.


The Amazon Echo, a/k/a Alexa, can directly access streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music. It cannot (yet) reach into your computer to play your iTunes library.


If you have your iTunes library on a computer or device, you can set up the Echo to serve as a Bluetooth speaker. Search online for instructions how to pair it. Although Alexa will not be able to control it -- you will have to do that from the computer or device -- you will get the sound in the room.
