Jen,


Amazon Alexa has the ability to play music from streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music. But she does not have the ability (yet) to reach into your iTunes library.

Hello Wally,

That sounds like it would be technically feasible, since the songs would be accessible in the cloud. You may want to pitch it to the iTunes suggestion box ( http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html ) and its Amazon equivalent.


Also, you do have the option of setting up the Echo as a bluetooth speaker. That will allow you to stream music from your library, although you will not be able to control it with Alexa.

I think it would be really awesome if Amazon Alexa would be able to be used with an iTunes Match subscription rather than just an Apple Music subscription. I am already subscribing to match which allows me to stream my music why can’t I stream it to my Alexa devices? Should be able to be done. Just my two cents.😊


Thanks,
