Try this, but no guarantee it will work owing to different Bluetooth profiles.

There are plenty of books on amazon echo out there, however these are always somewhat out of date as amazon keeps adding and changing the app, so those books will give you an idea but are not that helpful IMO. Any user manual written in the era of the original echo would really be totally out of date by now.

Aside from just using it as a BT speaker, you could also set up a plex server on your computer which would allow you to ask your echo to play music instead of using the pc as the controlling device. This would be music over wifi instead of BT, and would require your pc to be on. Depends on your usercase if this is more useful, but it more in line with what the echo is made for.

If you cannot google and find plex.tv, relevant forum threads on here, and user reviews on plex yourself, then you are definitely going to get stuck on installing and configuring the server... So, never mind
