Controlling home by voice is going to be a lot of fun. Amazon Echo Dot, is a smaller version of the company’s full-size wireless speaker with a voice-controlled assistant. The Dot lacked the room-filling sound of the larger Echo, but it still had all of the same smarts: you could use it to set timers, perform unit conversions, order a pizza, call an Uber, or answer random trivia, all hands-free. I found it best for controlling smart home appliances — it’s far easier to use your voice to turn smart lights on than to dig out your phone and load up an app.

The Echo works with any music streaming service, including Amazon’s own music services, Spotify, Pandora, Sirius XM, and Prime Music. You can control music using your phone, or ask Alexa to do it for you. So what about other streaming services such as Apple Music? Does Amazon open to have Apple Music on the Echo? Is it possible to stream Apple Music to Amazon Echo?
