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.

Thanks. I suspect I will do this infrequently, but it's nice to know I can.

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.

I have a faux fireplace with electric logs, and when I use it I like to have Alexa play crackling fire noise to add to the illusion. Except when I want to listen to music, I lose the fire noise. That's why I wondered if the second Dot would act completely independently and play music (yes, I did assume I'd need a different wake word!). So maybe not totally crazy!

Thanks so much.
