I can't see what happens when I get the Dot.
YW -- you can do basic commands:

Control media playback on Bluetooth devices

Quote:
You can use your voice to control the audio from your smartphone or tablet over Bluetooth. After you pair your mobile device with your Alexa device, open one of your favorite apps (for example, Spotify), press play, and then speak to your Alexa device.

To get started, say:

Alexa, pair my device.

Alexa, pair Bluetooth.

Hands-free voice control commands

Alexa, play

Alexa, pause

Alexa, previous

Alexa, next

Alexa, stop

Alexa, resume

Alexa, restart

Alexa, disconnect my phone / tablet.

Alexa, connect my phone / tablet.

Note: If you request songs, albums, artists, or playlists, your Alexa device pauses playback on your mobile device and disconnects from it. Music from your Amazon Music library plays on your Alexa device instead. To play music over Bluetooth again, say "Alexa, connect" and press play on your mobile device.
