Look down to the Music and Podcasts choice under Alexa Preferences to continue.Tap the More button and go to the Settings sub-menu.The other ideas state similar problems, but suggest different solutions. Starting playback from a mobile phone on a particular Echo potentially requires switching the Amazon account of the Echo first.Switching accounts on the Echo and checking the active account is an additional manual step that will be forgotten leading to the problem of using the wrong account making suggestions in Spotify useless.


Using different Amazon accounts (not voice profiles) is a solution suggested frequently, but this is a really bad and limited workaround:

The fact that Spotify is still not leveraging this API is actually kind of embarrassing.Īdditionally it would be nice to use a default Spotify account (associated with the Amazon account) as fallback in case the voice profile does not have an individual Spotify account associated. This would solve the problems stated above by automatically playing music using the Spotify account of the person that started the playback.Īmazon did provide APIs to do that more than a year ago. Improve your Alexa skill to support associating the Alexa voice profiles with an individual Spotify account.
