Edit: I missed this: "Plus, Echo is Bluetooth-enabled so you can stream your favorite music services like Spotify, iTunes, and Pandora from your phone or tablet," which obsoletes some of the below. The point on monophonic audio still stands.
Out of curiosity, are you already embedded in the amazon cloud music ecosystem? I'm one of those luddites who still has a library of mp3s—I don't want to have to figure out what I can or can't get on some compatible streaming service here. That would be a lovely feature—if it had an aux-in port or bluetooth compatibility so I could still use it as a dumb speaker. Smart TV's still have inputs, e.g.
Additionally, if I'm not mistaken, it's monophone? Dual-driver, but only one "360-degree" channel of some sort?
- smellf 12y agoI am also a "library of mp3 luddites", and to me it sounds as though the Echo can do any Bluetooth audio, like a modern head unit. So you might say, "Computer, play Bluetooth audio", or "Computer, skip this track," and it would work just like pressing play and skip in your car. This may just be wishful thinking on my part, however.
