Use voice commands to control music and podcasts with Amazon Alexa!
We're going to close this thread, and highly encourage any expreience issues with Spotify playing to post a new thread in the relevant help board here: iOS. Desktop (Windows) Desktop (Mac) Web Player. This way we can narrow the issue down by device and app version. If we see more than one user reporting issues we can flag it interally. When I play some songs on Spotify, it shows that it is playing in the songs menu. However, as you can see in the picture, on the bottom bar the album icon is empty, and the title and artist is not. Step 4: Your iPhone should now be playing music automatically, from the Spotify playlist on your Mac. Streaming music from your computer to your iPhone is convenient when you wish to use your phone for other things and don’t want to be stuck in the Spotify app.
Get started
Download the Alexa app, open it, and link your Spotify account with these steps:
- Tap the menu in the top-left.
- Tap Settings, then Music & Podcasts.
- Select Spotify, then Link account to Alexa.
- Enter your Spotify account details.
Set Spotify as your default service for music and podcasts so you don’t need to specify “on Spotify” at the end of your voice commands to play music:
