Can you treat a "Chromecast Audio" like an "speaker" with Amazon's answer to it?
One of the great features of owning a Chromecast is the ability to cast any media you want.You can stream a lot of things directly to it.You can use an Amazon device as an audio-based Chromecast, but it only works with Amazon Music.You can't stream any of your favorite music services directly to your Echo device, and you're locked into Amazon's offerings.You need a subscription for Amazon Music to do that.Now that it is rolling out, you can use it.
Its ability lies in its ease of use.You can connect to your device and start playing music.We think it will be expanded to support other services at a later date, but for now it is limited.Not everyone wants to pay for an Amazon Music subscription.Once it grows into a full-blown competitor, we can see it flourishing.If you have more than one device, you can play music on multiple devices at the same time.
AnyAlexa-enabled device can be used to Cast.It supports some of the Fire devices that you can get today.It is not a revolutionary feature, but it is one that helps the company compete with other companies.It will deem the feature irrelevant for many if it continues to offer only exclusive services.Most people have all of their music on other services, which is why an Amazon Prime subscription does not include the company's Music service.It will take a lot of work on Amazon's part to make it fully competitive, but we will see how it is expanded in the future.
It only works with Amazon Music, not the other way around.
