Play Music Directly

From today onwards, music on Echo is getting a boost with a new direct integration between Spotify and Amazon Echo. Spotify’s integration with Amazon Echo will allow its premium subscribers to stream the service using the popular smart speaker. Echo is now able to play music directly from the service but you can take advantage of the feature only when you have a Premium account in the US.

Spotify Premium subscribers who also have an Amazon Echo will now be able to command Echo’s virtual assistant Alexa to “play Spotify”. You can also call up Spotify playlists, artists or genres on the streaming service as well.
