Alexa Can Make Music Echo All Through the House

Amazon's digital assistant, Alexa, has a new musical talent, the company announced Tuesday.
"Today, we're making Alexa even smarter with an all-new feature that lets you play music synchronized on multiple Echo devices to provide room-filling music throughout your home," said Amazon Alexa Vice President Toni Reid.
Setting up the syncing is easy. Using the Alexa app, you give a group of devices a name "first floor," for instance. Then you can play music through all the devices simultaneously by saying something like "Alexa, play Allman Brothers first floor."
Alexa supports music streams from Amazon Music, Tunein, iHeartRadio and Pandora. Spotify and SiriusXM support is expected soon.
The feature is available now for owners of Echo, Echo Dot and Echo Show devices in the United States, United Kingdom and Germany.
Voice-Enabling Bose
Amazon on Tuesday also announced the immediate availability of new APIs that allow any connected speaker to tap into Alexa's multiroom functionality.
For example, if you had three Echo Dots and two Alexa Voice Service-enabled devices in your "first floor" group, you'd be able to synchronize music through all five devices.
Among the brands working with Amazon to make their systems Alexa-friendly are Sonos, Bose, Sound United and Samsung.
"Alexa set the standard for voice in smart homes, so working with Amazon to bring voice control to Sonos for the first time was an obvious choice," said Antoine Leblond, vice president of software at Sonos.
"This has been a close collaboration from the beginning" he continued, "as we've worked together to combine the magic of Alexa with the seamless multiroom audio capabilities that Sonos pioneered."
Market Leader
With multiroom music synchronization, Amazon is bringing its Echo products in line with Google Home, which already supports that feature, noted Jonathan Collins, a research director at ABI Research .
"Google Home is the only current challenger to Alexa's grip in the smart home voice control market," he told TechNewsWorld.
However, Google is a distant challenger.
Amazon's share of the voice control speaker market is 82 percent, compared to Google's 24 percent, according to a survey Edison Research released in June.
Echo seems to have won the early battle for the hearts and minds of consumers.
When asked which device better fit their lifestyle, 17 percent of the 2,200 adult participants in a recent Morning Consult survey chose the Amazon Echo. Another 12 percent chose the Echo Dot. That compared to 11 percent for Apple's yet-to- be-released HomePod and 11 percent for Google Home.
"Echo is the segment leader in terms of both market share and third-party hardware support. This move potentially ensures the first and eventually expands the last," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the
Enderle Group .
"Amazon is the market maker for the segment. The others are slipstreaming Amazon at the moment," he told TechNewsWorld.
"Amazon also licenses out their platform to others," Enderle noted, "which allows it to work more broadly in the long term than any of the hardware-only solutions, like Apple's."
Parrying Apple
The combination of multiroom and third-party speaker support could serve as a bulwark against Apple, which will be launching its HomePod speaker at the end of the year. During the introduction of that product, Apple emphasized the quality of the speaker for music, aligning it with the likes of Sonos.
"This is a defensive move on the part of third parties like Sonos and Amazon to get out in front of what Apple has positioned as a superior music system," suggested Greg Sterling, vice president of strategy and insight for the Local Search Association .
All the players in the market have one thing in common: They want to use voice control to drive consumers to core businesses, whether that be selling music or anything else.
"That's why the devices have to appeal to as wide a range of consumers as possible with their feature sets and price points," ABI's Collins said. "The greater the adoption, the more additional value that can be driven to the vendors' core services and revenues streams."
The stakes could be very high for companies jockeying for position in this market.
"If Amazon gets embedded in the home and is able to hold off Google and Apple, then it can be the gateway for this ecosystem of devices that are voice-controlled everything from TVs to light bulbs," LSA's Sterling told TechNewsWorld. "Then, suddenly, it's at the center of all this data that it can use in various ways."

Nigerians Spend Over 197B on Data Subscription Monthly, How Much Do You Spend on Data Monthly?

This is no longer funny and they claim there is no money in this country? According to the recent statistics released, Telecoms subscribers in Nigeria spend over N197 billion on internet data every month.
Findings by Daily Trust from the four GSM operators revealed conservative estimates of category of data users and how much they spent on data monthly.
About 70% of internet users or 64m use up to N1000 data monthly each , raising the operators’ revenue base by N64bn.
Also, about 15% or 13.8m users , mostly small business owners and middle class people, each purchase an average of N3000 data monthly , contributing N41.1bn every month to the telcos’ coffers.
Similarly, 10% of the internet subscribers or 9.15m use
N5000 each every month , growing the operators’ revenue by N45.6bn.
About 5% of the internet customers or 4.6m buy
N10,000 data each , increasing the GSM and mobile internet companies’ revenue by N46bn , according to findings made by Daily Trust.
You’ll also recall that the latest Monthly Subscriber/Operator Data released by the regulator last month showed that MTN had 58,121,427 users, and Glo 37,270,100 customers, Airtel 34,336,802 while 9mobile has 19,621,806 users. The remaining figures were shared between the other smaller operators.
But only 92m of the 149.5m subscribers are active internet users, and they depend on data provided by the telcos to access the world-wide-web and hook on to the social media, information on the NCC’s website showed.
If Telecos operator make over N197billion every month from data subscription, why are they clamoring for increase in data price again? How much subscription do you make on data monthly?
