Hello,

Ive recently been trying to connect my amazon echo to my mac computer, so i can control iTunes,

I have googled and found a few posts stating that this is possible via bluetooth, but, when it comes to pairing, adding my mac as a device to the alex app, the connection doesn't stay static.

It finds my mac, it connects, but then it disconnects after a couple of seconds,

I did try vice versa, adding my amazon echo device to my bluetooth using my mac, and again, it finds the echo, it adds it, but the connection shortly disconnects after a couple of seconds.

On the one occasion it did manage to stay connected to about a minute or so, i did ask alex to play/pause iTunes, giving it a test, but alexa came back saying it didn't recognise the command,

Does anybody have an experience with this topic ?

Many thanks in advance,

Stuart
