Do you have an Alexa device, possibly an Amazon Echo? You can play music from Amazon Music by saying, “Alexa, play music.” However, if you prefer using Spotify, your Alexa device won’t automatically play from it, as it defaults to Amazon Music. Fortunately, you can change this setting. Amazon allows users to link Spotify to their Alexa devices, providing the flexibility to choose your music service.
So in this article, let’s see how to link your Spotify account to Alexa products and set it as the default music provider and play future songs from it. With Spotify, you can enjoy a ready-made curated list and endless series of the latest songs of your preferred language. Let us begin:
