Thanks Paul, that is helpful.  How do you pair the remote with the Dot or
Echo out of interest?

Kind Regards,

Yes.

There is a dmicrophone button and a circular arrows button with play pause
in the middle.

It's like using a remote for your cd player. It also controls volume.

Hi Paul

I like mine too.  I just asked her if I had any packages to arrive, 
and she told me I have one coming tomorrow which is the audio lead I 
want to connect her to my hifi.

I don't have the remote, but are there physical buttons on it then for 
moving between tracks?

I am loving my Echo Dot.

I have been able to activate skills by asking "alexa enable" then the 
name of the skill.

I don't know if every skill can be activated in this way but it would 
avoid using the app.

I particularly love the Echo for playing music. The remote is great 
for moving from track to track.
