imgur.comNo music in Cincinnati, but I'm very happy about the volume! Thanks for the heads up.

So, setting it up in a routine, it doesn't give an option for how long music should play for. Like, if I run my "good night" routine, I would want the music to stop in 45 mins. How can I do that?
2
Make a playlist that lasts 45 minutes and play that instead of a station or random songs?
1
That's a good point, except that I rather enjoy the random music selection of Pandora/Spotify/Amazon Music. I would assume with the playlist idea that you wouldn't even have the ability to shuffle the list. So you'd likely hear the same 3 or 4 songs every night before you fall asleep.

Yeah, there's no way yet to have a routine set a sleep timer. Seems a pretty logical feature to add, but for now you'd just have to follow up your routine trigger with a sleep timer command yourself.
1
That's what I had assumed. I hope it's a feature they add soon. I would only use music in my routines during sleep hours, so a timer is crucial for that uses.

Nothing yet for me

Nothing here in Connecticut, USA either, at least not mine.

I see volume but not music.

Yup just volume, which is pretty cool for my morning wakeup routine.

I'm in CT and see music as a choice.

Just got music this morning.

Any way to play a local library yet?
1
Not from the routines that I can see, but I was able to get the Plex skill working so I can play songs from my own Plex server by command.

Here's the options when you select music. Not sure what "My Library" is referring to. https://i.imgur.com/c3J4OvV.jpg

It's your "Amazon My Music" collection that you can see under "Music, Video, & Books" in the main menu.

I checked an hour ago (Eastern US) and didn’t have it but now I do! I’ve wanted this for awhile however, the fact that it can’t be assigned to multi room groups is a huge oversight and leaves me feeling like it’s still not perfect. https://i.imgur.com/bcQIynh.jpg

Nice. Now I'll be waking up to the Beatles each morning :)

If I schedule music to play and i have multiple echoes, which one will it play from?
1
It's an option in the routine setting. Unfortunately right now you can only choose one single device. Hopefully in the future they'll add groups to the list.

I got volume control yesterday and music was added today. I’ve already set up two routines using music. One for napping and one - not for napping [nudge, nudge, wink, wink].

Can confirm the music option on my side also. Currently in Portugal with a mock US address.

Looks like it only supports playing, not stopping? Stupid if so.

As usual,it will take weeks/months for the non-US regions to get this...

Got it here in Canada.

Versions:
Client: 1.24.200584.0 Bridge: 2.2.201903.0
Would you be able to confirm this is what you have at the moment?
1
1.24.200745.0 and 2.2.201903.0
2
Weird, mine updated to 1.24.200745.0 overnight and still no music/volume...
Are you on an Amazon.ca account or amazon.com account?
