Amazon Echo smart speakers can play music and podcasts through Spotify. To carry out the integration, it is necessary to log in to the streaming service account in the Alexa application that is linked to the box. The Amazon assistant app is available for free for Android and iPhone (iOS). With the configuration, the user can use voice commands to control playback directly on the device.
It is worth remembering that the models of the Echo line have Amazon Music as their default music service, and it is necessary to change the settings to make Spotify the default player. That way, it will no longer be necessary to mention the name of the service when asking Alexa to play a song in the box. The following procedure was carried out with the third-generation Echo Dot model, but the step-by-step procedure applies to any product in the line.
