    I have Amazon Alexa First GEN. I got it after it came out.

    I just got my Mom the Eco Dot for this Christmas.

    My Mom has Amazon Prime but She does not have Unlimited Music.

    And my Amazon Account has no Prime and I have no Unlimited Music.

    If I ask my Moms Eco Dot to Play Ocean Eeyes by Billie Ielish She Plays it.

    If I ask my Alexa to Play Ocean Eyes by Billie Ielish She Tells me I have to Get Unlimited Music for $3.00 a Month.

    What is going on?

    Amazon Prime does include Amazon Music. I'm a Prime member as well, but I use Spotify for my music. That being said, my Echo (and Echo Auto, Fire TV' and even the Alexa app on my phone) will play from Amazon music if I don't specify to use Spotify. If you have a music account (like Spotify or Pandora) all you need to do is enable the skill and then you can ask her to play XX song from XX service.

    Hope that helps.

    Ok let me go over some things.

    My Mom has Amazon Prime and this comes with Amazon Music you say.
    So this is why after I ask Her Echo Dot to Play Ocean Eyes By Billie Eilish it Plays it.

    But because I do not have an Amazon Prime Account I just have an Amazon Account my Alexa will not Play Ocean Eyes by Billie Eilish for me.

    Do I have this Right?

    But my Mom just E Mail me an Invite to Share Her Amazon Prime Benefits.

    After I Log In to my Amazon Account it says Prime on the Top Left Right next to the Amazon Logo.
    So I am Sharing my Moms Amazon Prime Benefits.

    Or does the Music that comes with my Moms Amazon Prime get Shared with me?

    Honestly, that one I can not answer with certainty. Only because I haven't been in that situation. However, give it a shot and see, can't hurt anything.

    I was Telling you that I am Sharing my Moms Amazon Prime Benefits.

    And it does not change that I can not Play Ocean Syes on my Alexa.
    I thought me and my Mom would be Sharing the Music with the Amazon Prime Benefits?
