Can I play music simultaneously on 2 Orbi Voice RBS40V's ?

Can I play music simultaneously on 2 Orbi Voice RBS40V's ?

So I just bought 2x Orbi Voice satellites (RBS40V). I would like to play music (from Spotify mostly but ideally from other players too) on both at the same time. However I can only seem to play music on one.

Can I play the same track simultaneously on both? If so, how?
Can I play different tracks on each one at the same time? If so, how?
In my Spotify I see 2 separate devices, is it possible to rename these somewhere because both have exactly the same name so it is difficult to understand which one is which?

The RBS40V doesn't support Airplay or anything like that right?

 

Also, should Alexa be installed on both of them? I installed Alexa on the first, and when I ask Alexa something the other one responds that Alexa has not been installed on it.

 

Thanks in advance!

Install Alexa on both.  They are like any other voice equipped speakers (Echo Dot, etc.)  They are independent of each other.  Both can play whatever you tell them to.

 

p.s. There have been a number of complaints that Alexa capabilities on the RBS40V are "not right".  There appears to be a sense that the product was not successful enough to continue development and "well, it has some skills, but not very many."  Whatever factor led to development of the RBS40V obviously was not strong enough to get a similar product created for the WiFi6 market.
