Here are the steps to add Spotify to Alexa:
Step 1: Download the Alexa App
The Alexa app is available for free download on both the App Store and Google Play. Once you’ve downloaded the app, log in to the app using your Amazon account credentials.
Step 2: Connect Your Spotify Account to Alexa
To your Spotify account to Alexa, open the Alexa app and navigate to ‘Settings.’ From there, select ‘Music & Podcasts’ followed by ‘Spotify.’ If you don’t have an account, make sure to sign up for one.
Step 3: Authorize Amazon to Access Spotify Account
After you select the ‘Spotify’ option in the Alexa app, you will be taken to a page that asks you to authorize Amazon to access your Spotify account. Click the ‘Authorize’ button to allow access.
Step 4: Set Spotify as Your Default Music Service
To set Spotify as your default music service, navigate back to the ‘Music & Podcasts’ section within the Alexa app. From there, select ‘Spotify’ and then toggle on the option for ‘Set as default music service.’ This ensures that whenever you request music from Alexa, it is played through Spotify by default.
Step 5: Use Alexa to Play Music on Spotify
Once you’ve set up Spotify as your default music service on Alexa, you can start using voice commands to request your favorite music. To play a specific song, say ‘Alexa, play (song name) by (artist name) on Spotify.’ To play a playlist, say ‘Alexa, play (playlist name) playlist on Spotify.’ If you want to play a podcast or audiobook, you can also use similar voice commands.
In conclusion, integrating Spotify with Alexa is straightforward and makes for a better listening experience. Spotify’s extensive library and user playlists combined with Alexa’s voice control makes for an enjoyable experience for any music lover. With these simple steps, you can enjoy your favorite playlists, podcasts, and audiobooks seamlessly on Alexa.
