Connecting Spotify to your Alexa-enabled devices lets you listen to songs and playlists using voice commands alone. Then, you can make Spotify your default streaming service, so you can ask Alexa to play your favorite songs and playlists instantly. Here’s how to connect Spotify to your Alexa speakers and make it your default music player.

Tap the Link New Service. Then select Spotify. Next, tap Enable to Use.
Note: If you are not logged in to your Spotify account already, you will be prompted to enter your username and password. You can also choose to continue with your Facebook, Apple, or Google. Then tap Log In.
