Hi, @pngaudioguy, any updates? I am also interested in getting LMS to
play on my echo speakers. It would be a perfect use in my office as I
have an echo studio and I really want to be able to make use of it when
I am working, rather than wearing headphones.

If you have gotten the code, but don't have time to work on it yet,
maybe we can work together. It would be a cool thing to develop, and
doesn't look that complicated on the Alexa side:
developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/music-skills/understand-the-music-skill-api.html

I do need to find some programming information on LMS side, since I've
never done anything with it. I think the important part is to figure out
how to get Alexa to play somthing from LMS, and have it shows up as a
player in LMS.

What I want is to be able to say "Alexa, open BLABLA skill", and have it
open and automatically starts to play something from my LMS. Then I can
open the LMS Material frontend on my phone, and play whatever playlist I
want to it. Simple interactions like "next", "previous", "repeat",
"shuffle", "stop" should also work, but that can be P1, not P0.
