I've been using siriusxm to stream rm to my echo speakers but, unfortunately you can only stream siriusxm to one speaker at a time, not multiple speakers like you can with Tunein and other apps.
That being said, has anyone been able to find a way to stream a custom stream from tunein to multiple echo speakers?

Re: Radio Margaritaville on amazon Echo
We have a single "All Access" account for myself as well as an additional account w/o streaming for my wife's car.
With the Echo, I've been able to stream two different stations simultaneously to two Echos (an echo and a tap) within our house on the same network. When I'm streaming at work via the SiriusXM app and then my wife fires up an Echo at home, that's when my stream stops. I'm betting we'd need two "All Access" accounts to stream to two different IP addresses.
Would love if custom mixes were available, but I haven't seen any documentation anywhere outside of commands to play channels by name or number...

Hey thats great news, they must have changed recently to allow the "everywhere" playing of sirius.
was able to do it with the 4 echo's i have in the house. feels like a poor man's answer to Sonos

Another way to do it, even if you don't have Sirius, is to ask Alexa to pair bluetooth to your phone, then use your phones web browser and go to:
http://www.margaritaville.com/radio-player
And it will start playing RM.... I do this in the car all the time. Good luck!

You might be able to add the URL for the RM stream as a custom URL in TuneIn radio.
The URL is http://radmarg.ic.llnwd.net/stream/radmarg_razorback
Not sure how you'd be able to get to it via Alexa, as I haven't figured out how to give it a friendly name yet, but that's a start. I was using that to listen at work the other day and it streamed all day long without interruption, unlike when I use Sirius and my wife fires something up at home stopping my feed.
