I have always been a fan of both Spotify and Alexa, so when I learned that I could play my favorite Spotify playlists on my Alexa device, I was ecstatic! Being able to control my music with just my voice is a game changer. In this article, I will guide you through the steps of how to play Spotify on Alexa, so you can enjoy your favorite tunes hands-free.
Step 1: Set up your Alexa device
The first thing you need to do is set up your Alexa device. If you haven’t done so already, follow the instructions that came with your device to connect it to your Wi-Fi network and link it to your Amazon account. Once your device is set up and connected, you’re ready to move on to the next step.
Step 2: Install the Alexa app
In order to link your Spotify account to your Alexa device, you’ll need to have the Alexa app installed on your smartphone or tablet. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices and can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play Store. Once you have the app installed, sign in with your Amazon account.
Step 3: Link your Spotify account
Now it’s time to link your Spotify account to your Alexa device. Open the Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet and tap on the menu icon in the top left corner. From the menu, select “Settings” and then choose “Music & Podcasts”. Tap on “Link New Service” and select “Spotify” from the list of available music services. Sign in to your Spotify account and grant the necessary permissions to link your account to Alexa.
Step 4: Set Spotify as your default music service
In order to play Spotify on Alexa by default, you’ll need to set Spotify as your default music service. In the Alexa app, go back to the “Music & Podcasts” settings and tap on “Default Services”. Select “Spotify” from the list and now whenever you ask Alexa to play music, it will automatically use Spotify as the default music service.
Step 5: Enjoy your music
Now that everything is set up, you can start enjoying your favorite Spotify playlists on your Alexa device. Simply say “Alexa, play on Spotify” and Alexa will start playing the requested playlist. You can also ask Alexa to skip songs, pause or resume playback, and adjust the volume, all using your voice.
Playing Spotify on Alexa has truly revolutionized the way I listen to music. Whether I’m cooking in the kitchen, relaxing in the living room, or even taking a shower, I can always rely on Alexa to play the perfect playlist for any occasion. It’s amazing how technology has made our lives so much easier and more enjoyable.
So go ahead, give it a try and start enjoying the seamless integration of Spotify and Alexa. Trust me, once you experience the convenience and freedom of controlling your music with just your voice, you’ll never want to go back to the old way of doing things. Happy listening!
