      Does it stop at the end of a song?? That seems like
        a frequency issue if you Google (search) this.

            Customer confirmed that it should just be using Amazon

              That's a better question. Does Alexa only play music
                from Amazon, or does it go to your audio streamer of
                preference? 
              
              I have no idea. I like to play music from our in-house
                media server.

                Good question, I'll have to find out.? I just
                  presumed that when you tell Alexa to play music, it
                  just plays it from amazon music.?

                        I
                          don't use Alexa units, so maybe someone who
                          uses them could help me 
                          figure out how the back-end connectivity
                          works.? I have a business 
                          customer that has 2 wifi Alexa speakers in his
                          office. He uses them to 
                          play music, somehow they must sync together
                          because they both play the 
                          same thing.? About a week ago, he started
                          complaining that the music 
                          runs for a few minutes, then stops.? Can't
                          find any connectivity issues 
                          from the WAN side, so I went to his shop and
                          verified that yes, if you 
                          tell alexa to play smooth jazz, it will play
                          it for 3-4 minutes, then 
                          just abruptly stop.? I don't see any
                          connectivity issues when it 
                          happens, My laptop stays connected to the WIFI
                          and is pinging 8.8.8.8 
                          without issue.? And even if there is a blip,
                          I'd presume that there's 
                          some level of caching that it would buffer
                          across.? The Customer already 
                          replaced his router, and said that it did not
                          fix the issue.
                          
                          If the speakers lose sync with each other,
                          would that abruptly stop 
                          them???? I'm not sure what else to
                          troubleshoot, short of getting a set 
                          of them and trying to replicate it.? Which I
                          sure would run for weeks on 
                          end without an issue.
