One of the features we were most looking forward to when it came to Alexa has come true. The possibility of listening to Spotify music in Alexa without having a Premium account is available right now for all users, so if you don’t mind the announcements and the interruptions between the occasional song, you’re in luck.
Spotify free from Alexa
If you have a Premium subscription to Spotify this novelty will not matter too much, however, if you have a free account of those that receive ads with which you can listen to 30 minutes of music without interruptions, you are in luck. Alexa will now be able to put music on you without limits.
Now you can link your Spotify account without having to be Premium, something that until now was limited to users with paid subscriptions, since they were the only ones who could receive Spotify search results through Alexa. Luckily, from now on, you can ask Alexa for the music you want just by asking her, although of course, we will continue to have restrictions.
Free … but with limits
Don’t sing victory yet. The music streaming service will continue to maintain the usual limitations, so you will not be able to choose an exact song to play, but a playlist that will start playing randomly. It’s something. At least now you can listen to your favorite Spotify music without having a paid account.
For example, you can ask Alexa to play Travis Scott music, but not to play Highest in the room directly. If you ask for the song, what you will get in any case, is a list with that name, which will be played randomly.
How to listen to Spotify from my Alexa device?
If you have not yet set up your Spotify account with your Alexa account at this point, you are not taking full advantage of the potential of your echo speaker. But luckily we have the solution to your problems. To do this, you just have to follow the steps in our Spotify setup guide in Alexa so you can start listening to your favorite music on any Echo device or device compatible with Alexa.
