Yes. I can be in my kitchen and say "Alexa, play Billy Joel Upstairs" and she'll reply "Shuffling songs by Bill Joel on Upstairs."

Even better, when my kids are playing music too loudly, I can say "Alexa, stop the Bedroom" or "Turn down the Bedroom."

I would suggest setting easy-to-say, meaningful device names like "Kitchen" and "Bedroom" because saying "Play music on Cat Lady's Second Echo Dot" will get old fast.

Or if I put them in the same room, could I have one Dot play music and have the other one answer a question or read a book?
Now you're just talking crazy. But yeah, I guess you could. You'd probably have to give each a different wake word.

Note, while playing music, you can ask the same device a question, and she'll just automatically lower the music while she's talking to you.
