jnelsoninjax Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 My nephew (non-verbal/non-communicative autistic) would greatly benefit from having music played in his room, and I have an alexa device in the room and would like to broadcast music to it without having to purchase a subscription to Amazon music or Spotify, etc. My original thought was using an old cellphone to access Plex that I have running on my desktop, he does have a laptop, but he will not leave it alone (he used it to watch movies, but has lost interest in it and has not touched it in months) I also don't think that a laptop can broadcast to Alexa. If anyone else has some ideas, please share them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted May 17, 2022 Moderator Share Posted May 17, 2022 You can run Spotify. with no subscription, Just you'll hear advertisements. Just wondering.. If he's non-verbal, how will he run the Alexa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted May 17, 2022 Moderator Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) Can't you buy him a kid's tablet with rubber sides? So if he throws it, it won't get damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
