Amazon Prime Music and Snapcast

Configuration
1

I have just been listening to podcast #13 and it sounds like Snapcast is the answer to a problem my wife posed to me last night.

She currently listens to Amazon Prime Music with an Echo Dot with a bluetooth attached speaker for better quality. She would like to be able to walk around the house and have the music played in every room.

Is there a way to have my HA server (rpi3) connect to Amazon Prime Music and use Snapcast to stream it to multiple Snapcast clients throughout the house? If so, can she still use voice commands to control which music is played?

Please let me know if anyone out there is currently doing this

Thanks

Not that I know of. I have resorted to using Amazon Prime Music and just say “Alexa, play xxx everywhere”. The everywhere keyword plays the music on all echo dots. It is either all or one, though. No picking and choosing the echos.

I think you can setup groups and stereo pairs now
