How To Play Spotify On Alexa

Get started

The process is a bit different for Bose and Sonos speakers, which instead use Spotify Connect via the Spotify app to stream music, but the end result of free ad-supported music is exactly the same. Select Spotify, then Link account to Alexa. Enter your Spotify account details. You can then set Spotify as a default music service, so you don’t need to specify “on Spotify” at the end of your voice commands: Tap the menu in the top-left. Spotify for Alexa will be coming soon for the Amazon Fire TV range for mobile devices. Initially, in 2016, Spotify supported Amazon Echo only for premium subscribers and in select markets only. The Swedish streaming platform's free tier users also got access to Alexa-enabled devices in November 2019, but the same was limited to select markets. Alexa shuffle the Tom’s Christmas playlist on Spotify. Your speaker then says something like “Playing / shuffling Tom’s Christmas playlist from Spotify.” The shuffle playlist feature does not work as of this writing, as the playlist still plays in the order that songs were added to it when created, though the shuffle command is accepted.

Download the Alexa app, open it, and link your Spotify account with these steps:

Tap the menu in the top-left.
Tap Settings, then Music & Podcasts.
Select Spotify, then Link account to Alexa.
Enter your Spotify account details.

The best Alexa Skills make Amazon's smart assistant a whole lot smarter. Skills are quick and easy add-ons, usually mostly free, which you can add to Alexa and give it extra powers and knowledge.

Set Spotify as your default service for music and podcasts so you don’t need to specify “on Spotify” at the end of your voice commands to play music:

Tap the menu in the top-left.
Tap Settings, then Music & Podcasts.
Tap Choose default music services.
Note: To set Spotify as your default podcast service, tap Choose default podcast service.
Select Spotify and tap DONE.

Note: You still need to say “on Spotify” at the end of commands to play podcasts.

Now just ask Alexa to play something! E.g. 'Alexa, play Discover Weekly'. Check out the Amazon help site for supported languages.

Tap link account
Follow simple instructions on account linking page

Second, make Spotify the default music service

That way if you want to play Cardi B on Spotify, you can just say “Alexa, play Cardi B,” and Alexa will automatically play it from Spotify. With Spotify selected as the default, you don’t need to say “Alexa, play Cardi B on Spotify.”

Scroll to the bottom to Account Settings and tap Default Services
Select Spotify as your Default Music Library

“Alexa, play [insert playlist name] playlist”

Pro Tips

Pro Tip #1: How to play your Liked Songs

To play your Liked Songs (the ones you tap the heart icon for), say “Alexa, play my Liked Songs on Spotify.” You can even “like” a new song and add it to your Liked Songs list via Alexa just by saying “Alexa, like this song” while the song is playing.

Even if you’ve made Spotify your default music provider, for this Alexa command you still have to include the “on Spotify.”

Pro Tip #2: How to play your Discover Weekly and Daily Mix

Discovery weekly: Just say “Alexa play my Discovery Weekly playlist.”

Daily mix: Just say “Alexa, play my daily mix [insert number] playlist.”

Pro Tip #3: Sometimes it’s easier to listen to playlists via Alexa routine

When I listen to music, I generally listen to my favorite playlist of the moment. But I can never remember the exact Spotify playlist name to summon it with Alexa.

My solution: I created an Alexa routine that turns on the Spotify playlist whenever I say “Alexa, playlist.”

Plus, you can easily change the routine to play a different Spotify playlist (for when your favorite playlist inevitably changes).

Pro Tip #4: Why not create a few Alexa routines for different playlists?

If you want to easily summon multiple playlists, create a few routines with different Alexa command triggers. For example, “Alexa, morning playlist,””Alexa, relaxing playlist,””Alexa, energize playlist,” etc.
