Spotify also has tonnes of curated playlists, too. You can only choose music from playlists, so you can't just pick and choose the music you want to hear on a whim.īut that means you can choose your own created playlists - or ones like Discover Weekly, which are personalized to your tastes. Spotify on Alexa used to be limited to the paid-for platform, but now users of Spotify Free can also use their voice to summon music. Let's go through the steps and streaming platforms you can utilize. There are obviously restrictions, but, if you're looking to save the $9.99 / £9.99 per month of an Apple Music or Spotify subscription, or the $7.99 / £7.99 for Amazon Music Unlimited access, this guide delivers all the ways you can listen to music on your Alexa speaker for free. But thanks to a new ad-supported service from Amazon itself, and Spotify loosening restrictions, Alexa-enabled devices can now stream music without charge.Īnd speakers like the Amazon Echo Show range and the Amazon Echo Studio deliver top-quality music quality, too. These days, a music subscription seems to be another life tax, just like fuel, bills and, of course, Netflix. Just keep in mind that YouTube Music’s casting isn’t the best, Google still needs to work on it before YouTube Music replaces Google Play Music as their primary music service.If you're the proud owner of an Amazon Echo - or any smart speaker with Alexa built-in - it's possible to enjoy hours of music for free. You’ll either need to use Bluetooth with your Echo speakers or replace them with speakers that support Google Cast if you really want the functionality you have now (with Spotify) in YouTube Music. Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Tidal do not even though both Apple Music and Tidal are Alexa-compatible.
Spotify and Amazon Music are two examples, I think Pandora might as well. The only thing you’ll be able to do is directly connect your phone to your Echo speakers via Bluetooth and play music that way.Ī few music services let you play on Echo speakers, they support Amazon’s network speaker protocol (I forget what it’s called). You won’t be able to Cast or anything like that to your Echo speakers either. You won’t be able to use Alexa, at all, with YouTube Music. Google unlocked that feature a month or two ago.
You can upload your own music to YouTube Music.
