Voice control your music

You can stream songs from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Sirius XM, and others. You can also listen to audiobooks from Audible.

You can pair with a second Echo Dot (3rd gen) for rich, stereo sound. Fill your home with music with compatible Echo devices in different rooms. Turn on lights, adjust thermostats, lock doors, and more with compatible connected devices. So let's say you have a Philips Hue lightbulb, for example, the Dot can control that too. You'd just need to say "Alexa, turn off the bulb."
