How to play Spotify music on Alexa
Spotify and Alexa have become two of the most popular music streaming services. While they offer a great listening experience, it can be challenging to keep track of what’s playing on each device. This article will show you how to play Spotify music on Alexa and how to sync your devices so that your app appears as “currently playing” in other apps.
First, make sure that both devices are connected to the same WiFi network. You can do this by opening the Settings menu on your phone or computer and selecting the appropriate network. Once connected, open the Spotify app and select Menu > Settings > Show Advanced Settings. Under “Playback,” change “Device” from “Automatic” to “Phone.” This will ensure that all audio playback comes from your phone instead of your Echo device.
Now open the Amazon Alexa app and select Menu > Music & Books > Your Library. Under “Settings & Devices,” select “Spotify.” Make sure that the toggle button is turned green and press Save. When you ask Alexa to play music, she will automatically use Spotify as her source instead of TuneIn Radio or Pandora.
If you want to pause the song on Amazon Alexa, you will have to do it from your phone. To change the theme, you will also have to go back and forth between your phone and Alexa. However, if you want to resume playing where you left off, say, “Alexa, play Spotify.” Your app should appear as “currently playing” in other apps once connected to the service.
Finally, if you want to see a list of songs, playlists, albums, or genres from Spotify, you can use the “Show me” commands. For example, say, “Alexa, show me rock music.” You will then see a list of related songs and artists that you can stream on Amazon Alexa.
How to make Spotify the default music player on Alexa
To make Spotify the default music player on Alexa, you’ll need to set up a skill. This can be done in just a few minutes by following these simple steps:

3) Scroll down and tap “Settings.”
4) Under “Account Settings,” you’ll find an option called “Default Services” – tap this, and then tick Spotify instead of Amazon Music
5) You’re all done! When you say things like “Alexa, play my favorite songs,” they’ll automatically start playing on your Spotify account.
How to sync Spotify and Alexa

Next, open up the Alexa app on your smartphone and go to Settings>Music & Podcasts>Link New Service. Tap on Spotify from the list of available services and agree to all permissions settings. You may be asked to sign in to your Spotify account again; this is normal. After following these steps, both apps should be linked and ready to use!
