    Default Anyone using chromecast audio with google mini home voice control for spotift etc?

    I might try this setup for spotify / tunein radio.

    The voice control is tne interesting bit for me.
    I have an amazon echo which is very good, but not linked to hifi as no digital output.

    Any experiences?
    Ease of use?
    Relability?
    (Need to setup and forget.... or mess around in settings etc every week trying to fix things. Ie need streaming for spotify and radio on hifi for tnose with poor eyesight).
    Quality? (I use airport express to hifi and quite happy with quality)

    Thanks

    if u want to keep with your echo, then add an echo dot. it has audio out. works with spotify too. and will work in conjunction with your echo

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Unfortunatel it is only analogue out, and apparantly not great.
    Hence thinking of chromecast audio which has optical out.

    Yes, for about 6 months using it with an adaptor for dig out. i think it is very good for the £20 I paid.
