Family Premium & Alexa - listening to different music on 2 different Alexa devices

Family Premium & Alexa - listening to different music on 2 different Alexa devices

We have the family premium account. I’m the main user with my wife and 2 children having an account each.

 

Can my daughter listen to songs on her account/playlist in her room whilst I listen to songs from my account on a different Alexa in another room?

 

I’ve read about saying ‘Alexa, switch accounts’ to solve multi account issues - does that mean you can play one set of songs in one room and go into another room and ask that Alexa to switch accounts and play a different set of tunes?

 

Thanks

What I have done is create a separate Spotify account that i have then made part of my Spotify ‘family’. So I then have my wife’s account, my account and my 3rd Spotify account as part of my Spotify premium family. I have then used this 3rd account to link to Alexa. In order to do this. I had to log out of Spotify using my own account and log back in using the 3rd profile acount details (you need a separate email address to create the 3rd account by the way) and then ive o-need the Alex app and linked this Spotify account to the Alexa app (Go to ‘settings’>Music’) Once this 3rd account is linked on Alexa, i can then log out of Spotify again and log in to  my own Spotify account. So therefore Alexa will never interfere with what I am listening to in the car if someone listens to Alexa in the house as Alexa is linked the the 3rd account. Hope that makes sense.
