Select Music Provider from Voice Pipeline

[felixschndr]

Describe your idea

I am trying to replace Alexa with Home Assistant Voice. One thing that'd keeping it from me at the moment is music:
I live together with my SO and we have two separate Spotify Accounts. With Alexa I can say "switch account" to change which Spotify account is used to play music. While switching over from Alexa I would like to setup music-assistant and I'd love to be able to control which Music Provider (--> in this case Spotify Account) is used to play music.
One idea would be to have different wake works for different users. These would trigger different voice pipelines (already possible). However, the one thing that is missing is the ability to link a music provider to the pipelines such that

• User A --> Wakeword A --> Pipeline A --> Music Provider A
• User B --> Wakeword B --> Pipeline B --> Music Provider B

Are there any other ideas on how to implement such a (in my opinion pretty common) usecase?

Anything else?

I think the gold standard for this functionality should be handled via voice matching. If HA Voice had the ability to match a users voice to their HA user account, you could link up a HA account to a specific MA account and it would know which provider to use.

voice matching

of course, that would be the best option. However, matching users by voice is big topic and something that is not in scope of this issue/feature request.

However,

match a users voice to their HA user account, you could link up a HA account to a specific MA account and it would know which provider to use

I like your idea (linking a pipeline to a user which is then linked to a music provider) better than my option (linking a pipeline to a music provider).
Moreover, this would be a step that could be used later (when voice matching is implemented)

I would want MA to let me set a specific spotify account to always play on a specific speaker (so my kids' rooms' speakers will always play their own spotify accounts) and for a specific HA user to always play a specific spotify account, which would also override speaker-level defaults (so MA on their phones would always pull from their own account, even if they were playing it on a different speaker).

so if my son plays music in his room, it would pull from his spotify account.
if my daughter played spotify in her room, it would be using her own account.
if my son used his phone to play music in his sister's room, it would use his spotify account.

it would be nice if there were also a way to specify account verbally, so if they're in the living room and don't have their phones on them, they could say "ok nabu, play spotify liked music from nate's account"
