Play Spotify music on your Dot speaker with the following Spotify Alexa Commands for Controlling Spotify from Echo Speakers. Note that the voice commands work the same on all Alexa speaker models. But first, for that to work, link your Alexa account to your Spotify Premium account. For a detailed explanation of how to do that, see our post Spotify Setup Instructions on Amazon Echo Alexa Devices.
Control your Spotify music playing with your voice! E.g. Ask Alexa to play a song, an album, or a Spotify playlist. These speakers offer a complete set of Spotify voice commands.
Whether playing albums, songs, playlists, or genres, you control playback with the following Alexa commands.
Got a favorite song by a specific artist? Ask Alexa to play that song from Spotify. The requests below all result in Alexa playing the song Fly Like an Eagle by the Steve Miller Band.
You may omit the artist name if no other song title, artist name, or playlist has that name. But you must say the artist if Spotify has more than one item with that name. Otherwise, Alexa may play the wrong song. In the Fly Like an Eagle case though, she plays the Steve Miller version. This in spite of versions from other artists such as Seal.
Ask for a certain album by a certain artist from Spotify. The complete album then plays, with the tracks in the correct order. Further, it plays without any inter-song gaps.
Skip around within the album by asking either of the following,
Got a favorite artist or group? Ask Alexa to play all the songs by that artist that Spotify offers. The next examples show this. Here, the following requests all result in Alexa playing the songs in Spotify by the Steve Miller Band.
If the artist name is also a song title, the Alexa may play the wrong song. E.g. The name Middle of the Road, could refer to a 1970s pop group. But it’s also the title of a popular 1984 song by the Pretenders. You get one or the other, depending on what you’ve asked for previously. So, eliminate the ambiguity by adding the “songs by” phrase to the above request, as in the next example.
If you’ve created playlists in your Spotify account, just ask Alexa to play them. Or, to play public Spotify playlists, again, simply ask for them by name, as follows.
These Alexa Spotify commands play the recordings in the Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep playlist.
Also, ask for the genre you wish. Then, Alexa plays songs from that genre. Beware though. No telling what music you’ll get, unless you’ve already tried this already. Further, what you hear frequently changes, as Spotify adds new music. So, prepare to hear a unique blend of music in the requested genre.
Finally, you get full access to your Spotify content through Alexa. Namely, these voice commands provide control of all your Spotify media. Plus, you need no computer once you set up your speakers and link your accounts. That is, you play your Spotify music on an Alexa speaker, without using a computer at all once set up. Thus, the Alexa speakers definitely enhance, yet also make simple, your Spotify listening. The music is yours to hear, just for the asking.
