Alexa will take a minute or so to create the new multi-room speaker group and alert you when it’s ready. Once you’ve selected speakers for your new speaker group, tap Done. You can always create another group (such as “Upstairs” or “Kitchen”) later and, if you wish, you can include one or more speakers that are already assigned to your Everywhere group. (Note: The list won’t include Bluetooth speakers paired with your Echo devices.) Since we’re creating an “Everywhere” speaker group, go ahead and tap every speaker in the list. Once the app is open, you will be directed to sign-in using an Amazon retail account. On mobile, head to the Apple App or Google Play Store and download the Amazon Music for Artists app. On the next screen, you’ll see a list of compatible Alexa speakers. Amazon Music for Artists is available on both web and mobile. Now it’s time to pick the speakers you’d like added to your new speaker group. Once you’ve chosen a name for your new Alexa speaker group, you can select which Alexa-enabled speakers you’d like to be associated with the group. The news comes hot-on-the-heels of Apple Music adding lossless audio (and Spatial Audio) at no extra charge, and leaves the soon-to-launch Spotify HiFi looking like it will have to be free to.

A good speaker group to start with might be “Everywhere,” for every Alexa-enabled speaker in your home. Amazon has announced that Amazon Music HD, the companys lossless and hi-res audio service, will now be free for all Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers. Next, pick a name for your new speaker group, ideally something that’s easy to say and for Alexa to hear. Fire up the Alexa mobile app, tap the menu button in the top corner of the screen, tap Settings > Device Settings, tap the “plus” button, and then tap Add Multi-Room Music Speakers > Continue.
