How can I select the Echo Device that has the Single Device Amazon Music Plan?

TL;DR : there's no way to do it on your own. Contact Amazon customer service and they'll politely do it for you. The  Single Device Amazon Music plan  is a great deal: all the music you want on a single Echo device for just $3.99 a month. I've had many Echo devices over the years. I signed up for the single device plan way back when, when I only had one. Recently I got an  Echo Studio , which has excellent audio quality and naturally, I wanted it to be the one device with access to the music plan. The problem: when I asked for music, Alexa complained that the album in question was available via Amazon Music Unlimited which was already in use by another device. But which one?! Turns out there's no way to find out anywhere. Not in the Alexa app, not in Amazon's full fledged website. There are a few tantalizing misdirections regarding  preferred  speakers which do nothing. In the end I gave up and contacted Customer Service via email. I explained that I wanted the plan
