Hi: Is anybody successfully connected to and using an Amazon Echo device to play music located on Plex libraries. If yes can you tell me how to do this? Thanks! ---

There is a long complex discussion of this: > **[Amazon Echo and Plex!

You can do simple queries, like “what’s on deck,” but far more interestingly you can actually request a particular show or episode to start... At this point the only thing I can do is start Plex on my Roku with Echo using the Harmony skill. There is no play option and I cannot seem to use the Bluetooth functions of any of my devices to play through my Echo. But I have not tried very hard either. ---

It was easier to upload my music collection to the Amazon Music storage and now all of my collection is available via echo. Did not take all that long and I had some 7700 albums. ---

The only thing I really despise is that Amazon Music does not let you “organize” your media into folders. (Deleting large amounts media is a pain too) Everything gets dumped in a messy bucket. Now, if they at least allowed you to map Playlists to ACD folders like they do images that would work better for me. The only way I am using Plex successfully wth my Echo and Tap is via blue tooth and that’s not the same as direct integration. I can live with this method until Plex actually releases a skill to provide direct integration. ---

There’s a thread on here somewhere, someone has created an Alexa skill that streams music from Plex.
