Bring Multi-Room support to AudioPlayer API streaming
Alexa Multi Room streaming does not appear to be available for third party skills that leverage the AudioPlayer API.
Feature request is to extend support for Multi Room to the AudioPlayer interface. This could be implemented by adding a custom slot type for the multi room location and then adding an optional parameter to the Play() command to allow the destination room group to be specified.

Thank you very much for your patience. Your comments and votes are greatly appreciated. While we cannot promise each feature request will be implemented our team reviews each request and sends them to the appropriate product teams.

This is a MUST HAVE for playing the media content I OWN! This can't be that hard to do and would be a win-win for all.

Well..if they put this in their API so the skills can benefit from it ....we will buy even more Echo studio’s all over the house. More money to Jeff to our pleasure. :)

I'd imagine this would be a game changer. It'd also be useful to have development skills with access to multi-room.

Come on Amazon - this should be a no-brainer. You want us to have your devices throughout our homes so, surely, you can see that you need to provide this support.

I have an extensive audio library spanning 40 years. A good portion is not available anywhere. I love the multi-room feature but find it unacceptable that I can not listen to my own collection on more than one device. All of the support sites for MyMedia, DS Audio, Plex, My Pod, JRiver, etc. are filled with frustrated audiophiles begging for this feature.

We have lost the use of BBC radio on multi speakers and have been told that it will not be returned to TuneIn and so the functionality can only be reinstated by changes agreed by Amazon to the BBC Sounds Skill.
We recognise that it was a BBC decision to remove the functionality, but that the only solution now sits with Amazon and so hope that you will allow the development to proceed quickly.
Thank you

Implementing this would resolve a lot of the criticism that the BBC and amazon got over the former’s withdrawal from Tunein for UK users, leaving them to rely on the bbc skill that can’t be used for multi room or stereo pairs

Please? There are a whole lot of us that have large music libraries with thing that we cannot get online. Anywhere. You are crippling us by not providing this simple thing.

I can't imagine that this feature is not yet allowed....

Amazon could address a lot of the perceived issues in this thread if they reinstated their music upload service. With that, I could seamlessly integrate my music that isn’t on any streaming service with Amazon Music Unlimited and exploit the full range of Alexa music requests, multi room and all. Solutions like My Media, while technically interesting, are clumsy in comparison.

This would be a great addition to Alexa functionality.
