Audible now has over 40,000 AI-voiced audiobooks. Good way for self-published authors to save on costs and add a voiceover to their books. Humans are watching their gigs disappear, and I’m really not a fan of that AI monotone.
It just got a lot easier for music to follow you around the house using Alexa

Amazon recently unleashed Multi-room audio for compatible Echo devices to the public. It makes everything from chores to party time that much more awesome.
Read on to find out how this handy feature works and how to use it.
Multi-room audio for Alexa
Multi-room sound might be one of the most affordable ways to fill your home with high-fidelity, rich sound. It gives you everything you need to enhance the music you’re listening to in one room or to keep your audiobook with you as you go about your day.
According to Amazon, “Ask Alexa to play a song, artist, or genre from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, SiriusXM, Pandora, and others. With Multi-room music, you can fill your home with music, radio, podcasts, audiobooks, and more using compatible Echo devices in different rooms.”
First, you must set up Multi-room music in the Alexa app. Here’s how:
- Open the Alexa app.
- Select Devices.
- Tap Plus, and then select Combine Speakers.
- Select Multi-Room Music.
- Follow the instructions in the app.
How to surround yourself with Amazon’s Multi-room music
There are a ton of ways you can spin this excellent feature. Ask Alexa to play music on all your linked devices, or you can send your favorite person a melody downstairs from wherever you are.
Multi-room music is compatible with many popular music apps. Spotify, Pandora, iHeart Radio, Audible, and Amazon Music can now go everywhere you go.
You can group speakers while relaxing in your living room or any room with an Alexa-enabled device. It’s also compatible with Fire TV devices and several third-party smart speakers from Sony, Polk and more.
Here are some ways to ask Alexa to play Multi-room audio:
Plot twist: Spotify wants to win over Audible subscribers, but its offer must be fiction. The Audiobooks Access Tier is $9.99 per month for 15 hours of audiobook-listening and ad-supported music. Compare that to Spotify Premium, at $10.99 a month, 15 hours of audiobook listening and ad-free music. Do they think we can’t read?
