Does it link in anyway to my music collection that is controlled by Apple? I have it on iTunes cloud with the match service and my copies are stored on a network drive. I do not and will not subscribe to Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon music or any other pay monthly service

"Rude" haha it's just a machine, it doesn't have feelings.

I started my trial 1.5 years ago - I've been a customer since. Very good value for money in my opinion and the kids are using Amazon Videos almost daily.

Damn you op! Couldn't stop my fingers pressing Buy! Buy! Buy! Even though my brain was screaming No! No! No! (as will the Mrs when she finds out where her birthday money's gone). I think the posters noting that what you can achieve with the dot can easily be achieved by other means is quite true but it's still a bit too tempting to buy a nice new toy (or 3). I just have to hope sonos pull their finger out so they'll have some sort of purpose. I have a couple of old school zp120/amps and zp 90 to try with the line in until that arrives - Can't believe I'm so lazy I can't even be bothered to pull my phone out of my pocket and press play, I just need a chair that roles me every couple of hours and my demise into a lazy fat blob is complete - oh! Too late! P.S heat added!

I bet you still bought them though.

Agreed but you can argue that with any device and looking at this site its such a materialistic world. If you need something then fine but a lot is tat. People think it makes them feel better but you'll always want more pefect for the marketeers!

Seems to be STUDENT10 is back. Just ordered one. thanks !!!

You don't understand how next gen consumerism works Sir. Obviously.

You *can* set the wakeup word to 'computer'

STUDENT10 code seems to be up again now

Good deal at this price. It seems the Echo Dot is good if you want to control stuff or use for alarms, but if you want to listen to radio, music, etc, the Echo (with the bigger speaker) is needed (or an externally attached speaker). I have an Echo already and am considering getting more, but am still undecided about three Echo Dots for the price of one Echo (in this deal)

Amazon echo vs google home?

If I cancel my three pack order. Can I use the dot3pack code again?

As I'm amazon student and the code works again :disappointed:

Do people prefer tunein or radioplayer?

Had to sign up to Prime, but that can be cancelled at anytime within 30 days then £7.99 a month if you wish to carry one.
Thanks OP Heat Added :heart_eyes:

Awesome. Just rang customer service and they just added £10 discount. So £25 each as I am student. Awesome

damn - just the £10 student code as well! oh well. you win some (mainly on here) you lose some.

For those who hate the Echo.... (Special prize sent by PM for whoever finds the mistake (_;) )

You've obviously never seen any Sci-Fi film where machines rebel against their human creators. In 10 years these things will be Skynet, basically. I'd start being polite to them...

Is this the matrix?

Just ordered one for £24.99 :)) Looking forward to Sonos update in near future!

how did you order 1 echo dot for £24.99?

Just got my Student discount which is back up, glad I didn't buy them at lunchtime

But what if Jesus just walked on the ice and then forgave Sub Zero before feeding him a thousand fish?

(my knowledge of the Bible may be somewhat sketchy)

Can't wait for sonos integration!!

I've just ordered one as the heat reached 2200. I can always give back, but I don't want to regret not buying it tomorrow :smile:

I just ordered echo dot for £34.99. :astonished:

Sorry if this has already been asked but what would be the better option, an echo full size or an echo dot with the £20 anker Bluetooth speaker in prime day deal? As I understand the dot can do everything the full size can

go for echo dot with anchor bluetooth speaker. Echo has a built in speaker but it doesn't sound nice because it mono :dizzy_face:

Ikea smart light bulbs are also due to be compatible soon. 3 bought for me

The £20 Anker speaker is also mono. It's unlikely to sound any better than the Echo - and could be worse.

Question
There were reports about people hacking Alexa and listening to all your conversations including your phone call with the bank and personal family stuff etc
Should I worry

Now the owner of 3 dots too. :smile:

Thought about getting the Anker £20 too - but also came to the conclusion it won't be much better. I mean 2x3w speaker looks is a bit weak (their next one up / 20w version goes for £55, which is a big jump - can't really justify that because boom 2 is not much more expensive and infinitely more resell-able; there were a few other 20w Chinese made ones on Amazon at around 29-40 - I presume it's similar tech / rebranded chassis - since I don't know enough - I'm happy to wait and find out if dot is okay on its own).

The logitech z623 was interesting (upto 200w RMS - though not keen on having too many cables.

Yes because alexa will take all your money and leave you in love island

How can I connect Alexa to my Smart tv

Alexa turn the Tv on
Alexa turn the Tv off

You need a Harmony smart hub........

Hahahahahaha, Bible Classes for you two I take it?. ;-)

Not getting this. Still showing £129.97 for 3 with DOT3PACK code. Do you have to be a member of PRIME to get this deal? Is Echo worth it if you DON'T have Prime ? Thanks

I have sony srs x2 speaker. im planning to hookup my echo dot with it. You can look for good sony bluetooth speaker. I hope you can find a good deal :wink:

I'm afraid the deal expired at midnight.

Does it have to be plugged in the mains to use everytime

Where to sell ones we don't want? shame this forum ditched FS/FT really, don't fancy ebay!

Hot I was debating 3 of these or one echo after finding out they are able to hook up to other speakers I went for the 3 dots selling one off today as right now I only need 2 one for my Bowers and wilkins for the main room and one for the bedroom with my wireless speacker works out I will have 2 for £50 after I sell the 3rd one off later

Gumtree or Facebook

I plan to sell the other 2 to family, friends or work colleagues.

No fees or postage. :smile:

can you connect the dot to multiple BT speakers so I can choose which speakers the dot will play the music from? and crucially, can this be done just by voice? what this needs is a chromecast audio skill so I can control my CCA connected speakers via the dot...aint gonna happen though which is a shame.

with regards to music, more than happy that tune in radio and spotify work. shame my play music wont work with it but spotify generally has me covered. with a massive amount of skills already and more being added, hopefully this will be a investment. google unfortunately have a habit of dropping tech leaving customers out of pocket.

You just tell the dot to connect to the speaker/s you want to use providing they are bluetooth of course and then connect to your source for music (e.g iPhone). Then choose playlists etc

Hopefully I can set up an activity using the Logitech remote (which I also ordered) for this. I haven't investigated this, but can't see why not as you set up the devices and then tell it to the dot to action the activity.

thanks for that. can the dot connect to multiple BT speakers at the same time and play the music at the same time? if so, that could make my chromecast audios abit redundant.

looking forward to the dot now as before I was sceptical but could prove useful. only thing that im unhappy about is the fact that you cant delete your voice recordings from the cloud for the conversations you've had with alexa.

Why not connect your Bluetooth speaker direct to your phone and listen to music from the phone and leave the dot because dot is not a speaker and you can't play music from your phone into dot, it only plays Spotify premium (not worth it) and Amazon music (too expensive) why not play you tube songs

Valid points ...

Missed out on the deal.... has anyone got 1 to sell to me for £30? I'll pay postage.

I would if we were able to trade on here!!

If anyone is north of the river in london, got the 3 for £75 deal and would be happy to sell one, please drop me a PM

Pls pm me on bitbotbang at the gmail dot com if you have one for sale

not sure what the privacy concerns were. alexa is always on but only listening to the key word. only start recording and saving to the cloud once you say alexa(or key word). all the other time when its listening, its not uploading anything. liking mine so far. just trying to get it set up with the skills.

Is anyone going to sell me an echo dot? I missed the sale on Amazon!

Anyone had there delivery changed from expected today till the 19th?

Mine were delivered this afternoon, no problems. App won't download so haven't opened and played yet

I ordered quite a bit.
7 separate orders, 1 has turned up!
Rest delayed till 19th. Even though they have been tracked to 30 minutes away from my house.

Picked up my 3 today, had they delivered via amazon locker. Was in two minds to leaving them there and getting a refund. Glad i didn't:{

As I only need one, I sold the other two on Gumtree. They went within less than 24 hours for £70 so the one I kept has cost me £15..Result

Loving the Echo Dot. :grin:

I've never used Prime music or video as I have my own mp3's on my iPhone and Kodi, but have started using both Prime Music/Video.

Next step is to get a Fire HD box to integrate all the above.

Has anyone listed on gumtree or eBay so I can buy one. Thanks

Don't use these. Amazon sample questions asked and use the data to target marketing.

I was recently interviewed for a role in one of their centres doing just this. :angry:

Didn't get the job, but the role was covered in detail during the interview.

Check here and you will see that Amazon is likely the very least of your tracking problems...

This is far worse than online tracking cookies. The unit itself is a microphone and by default has to be listening all the time in case you ask it a question.

A tracking cookie might record your browsing habits but it can't listen to a conversation about when you might be on holiday.

The data from tracking cookies is processed to form part of a database (big data) and is processed by a machine not a human being.

With these devices there are teams of people sat down listening to what you say.

Far worse in my opinion.

I sent mine back. It doesn't have enough features yet to warrant paying for.

I'm sure it will be available again for the same price at some point in the future.

When Alexa calling comes to the UK I'll reconsider buying it.

Sound quality on the radio was pretty good though for a kitchen radio replacement.

multi room music is here only noticed in the app the other day.
