The day has finally arrived: You can now use Alexa to play Apple Music on Amazon Echo speakers. It's just available for Echo devices at this time -- no third-party speakers like the Sonos One (yet).
You can also play Apple Music on Amazon's Fire TV devices. This feature is currently U.S.-only, but will be available in the U.K. in the coming weeks. Once you've followed the steps here, just say, "Alexa, play Apple Music" while using your Fire TV.
Setting Apple Music up is really easy, and takes about 30 seconds to set up. Here's how to do it.

kurtbaby Was signed into my account. Tried to link our Apple Music account, which has family sharing. I do not see where it allows me to pick which family member to link. It linked my wife's account instead of mine, yet my account was the one I signed into when prompted. Anybody else run into this?Reply -
