How to Connect Spotify on your Amazon Alexa

How to connect Spotify to Alexa? Spotify is a digital music streaming service that gives you access to millions of songs, podcasts, and videos from artists worldwide, including Apple Music. Spotify is rapidly appealing as it can be simply accessed by signing in with your email address or connecting it with your Facebook. If you don’t like the monthly Spotify premium subscription fee or just want to dive in and try it out, it’s easy to get started.

Spotify Premium allows you to use your music “offline”, but it’s not like downloading music in the traditional sense. For example, you cannot fool the system by downloading an album and then unsubscribing later. Also, you cannot download tracks and burn them to CDs or copy them to other devices.

How to Set Spotify as Default Music Player with Alexa:

You can make Spotify your default player if you don’t want the “On Spotify” phrase to add to your voice commands while listening to music. To make Spotify your default player for music: 

  1. Open the Alexa app. 
  2. Click the More tab on the bottom toolbar. 
  3. Click Install. 
  4. Select Music & Podcasts. 
  5. Tap Default Service.
  6. Tap Change next to the existing default music player, select Spotify and tap Done. 

This method doesn’t work with podcasts, so you always need to specify that you want a particular podcast to play through Spotify using voice commands.

Once Alexa is running, you can also listen to other users’ Spotify accounts. Just ask Alexa to “Spotify Connect,” Your device will search for something else on the same Wi-Fi network. Great to steal some cool playlists from holiday guests.

Command the music: 

Spotify being selected as your default music service fulfills all your needs regarding songs, albums, artists, and playlists, which it has in Spotify but not in Amazon Music. Some examples related to this are: 

Alexa, play 93.5 Red FM.

The Alexa, play Love story by Taylor Swift.

Alexa, play the album by Maroon 5. 

Alexa, shuffle the playlist and play the study vines playlist.

Only that song will play and stop when you request a specific song.     When requesting an album or “song,” the artist plays multiple songs.

For more ideas, filter the music in the Alexa Live Command List. Not all commands work seamlessly with Spotify, but Alexa constantly improves its integration with Spotify. For example, when requesting music for a particular mood or activity, Alexa looks for a playlist on Spotify.

  • With Spotify streaming on Alexa-enabled speakers, you can control playback from the Alexa app. An animated sound icon is displayed at the bottom of the screen on mobile devices. You can find Now Playing in the main navigation menu on the web.
  • Alexa supports Spotify for MultiRoom Music so that you can sync Echo speakers (except  Echo Taps) in your group. MultiRoom Music will soon support third-party Alexa-enabled speakers.
  • Use the following commands to wake up a specific playlist, song, or artist on Spotify. 

 Alexa wakes Ryan Adams up at 6:45 AM. 

 The Alexa, wake me up at 7:15 with the  Morning Jazz playlist. 

 Alexa wakes me up at 6:30 in the morning.
