Use voice commands to control music and podcasts with Amazon Alexa!
Spotify Free users in Canada can now say “Alexa, play Discover Weekly on Spotify”, for example, to get their favorite playlists to start playing. The music streaming service has had integration with Alexa for over two years and users can now set Spotify as their default music player through an Amazon Echo smart speaker. Select Link Account to Alexa. Type in your account information. After these steps, you need to set it as your default music service. To do so: Get to the Menu section from the top left in the Alexa app. From Settings, tap on Music and Podcasts. Tap on Choose default music services. For podcasts, also tap on Choose default. Nov 20, 2019 Spotify has worked with Amazon Echo since 2016, but only for premium subscribers. Today, that changes as Spotify says its free tier will now stream across Alexa-powered devices, as well as other. So you need to add the correct Spotify account to the Alexa app. To do so, unlink your free account (as shown below) and add the one with a premium subscription.

Download the Alexa app, open it, and link your Spotify account with these steps:
- Tap the menu in the top-left.
