Amazon Echo (4th Generation) Smart Speaker with Alexa

I have 1 echo but I have 2 Spotify users in the house, and likewise two Amazon accounts. To switch account we say "switch account" and then the other Spotify account is activated. As for the delays, pauses and lag: I have none of that. But maybe it's because I'm not using a stereo pair.

I've just followed your advice and strangely enough, taking it off the stereo pair mode definitely got rid of some of that slowness/delay issue I was experiencing, it's maybe cut down the time it takes for the song to play by about half, which is a big improvement. ... but gapless playback is a really big thing for me - nothing takes me out of an album more than hearing a few seconds of silence between a song that is supposed to transition seamlessly into the next! I'll keep testing it to see how it goes, but I think I will end up returning these.

Alright so I got a replacement device few days ago, it is slightly better but still pretty unusable. It seems that the mics on it are just garbage. ... Will return this and go for a refund, then decide if I settle for Show 8 or double the investment and go for Echo Studio. Shame. I really wanted to like the device, but Jeff effed up.

I use Android ... .from what I've understood there's no additional advantage of buying amazon echo ... .im gonna stick with nest audio

I derigistered mine to send it back, changed my mind set it up again and its fine now.
