where can you find the dish music app or is it the play-fi app?
It's the Play-Fi app and it's hard to find. (I'm guessing it's a "soft opening" for the app) and once it "gets good", they'll play it up more.
You'd think it'd be under Apps, but no....here's how to get to it: Menu/Settings/Bottom of page "Dish Music" icon. Tells you to go get app at iTunes, Google Play, or Amazon App store and to look for "Dish Music" app, but there
IS NO Dish Music App!. I downloaded the DTS Play-Fi onto my android phone and the same from the Amazon App Store onto my Amazon Fire tablet. Finally got the one on my Fire tablet to open.
It has several music services in it's line up. Amazon, Pandora, iheartradio and quite a few more. I'm only interested in the Amazon services since I subscribe to both their Prime and Unlimited Music service. Ran it's search and it only came back with "Family" and "Bedroom" found. (Those are the names of my Hopper and Joey respectively) so no Amazon Echo or Dots as of yet. (Darn!) If you already have a Play-Fi compatible speaker, etc., I am sure they will show up.
Anyway, early stages very limited. When I clicked "Family" (Hopper) as the speaker and selected the Amazon icon, it went to their Prime Music section. There is no search bar or a "My Music" section (where I have my 6000+ songs at Amazon Music Unlimited) but let's you play their pre-selected "Playlist" or "Radio" section. Those are pretty good, but you take what they give (kinda like a Pandora "Station"). They did have a "selected for you" section which had albums and playlists and when I opened up an "album" it DID open the album and allowed me to select individual songs.
One thing interesting...one of the "Music Services" icon is a Red Box with a Music symbol inside and when I clicked on that, it showed albums that I have bought and stored at Amazon (not all of them...I'm thinking it's only the ones I uploaded back when I still had a Windows machine and used the Amazon music upload app. I now use a Chromebox (a desktop "Chromebook" with more horsepower) so I'm not sure where those albums and songs came from. They SURE weren't DLNA. Anyway, they are very well organized and the shuffle play seems excellent.
I hope this is only a first step. Amazon Echo (Alexa) is scheduled to get DTS Play-Fi as a way to play music through all their devices in the home and, as we all know, the Hopper is scheduled to get Alexa as well.
So my ultimate hope is that someday is that I can call up my personal Amazon music and select it to play through my Hopper/Joey and all my Echos at the sametime.
At least before I die.
