One of the functions that we were most looking forward to Alexa it has come true. The possibility of listen to music from Spotify on Alexa without the need for a Premium account It's available right now for all users, so if you don't mind ads and interruptions between the odd song, you're in luck.
Spotify free from Alexa
If you have one Spotify Premium subscription This novelty won't matter too much to you, however, if you have a free account of those that receive ads with which you can listen to 30 minutes of music without interruptions, you're in luck. Alexa will now be able to play music without limits.
Now you can link your Spotify account without having to be Premium, something that until now was limited to users with paid subscriptions, since they were the only ones who could receive Spotify search results through Alexa. Luckily, from now on, you can ask Alexa for the music you want just by asking, although of course, we will continue to have restrictions.
Free… but with limits
Don't claim victory yet. The music streaming service will continue to maintain the usual limitations, so you won't be able to choose an exact song to play, but rather a playlist that will start playing randomly. It's something. At least now you can listen to your favorite music from Spotify without having to have a paid account.
For example, you can ask Alexa to play music by Travis Scott, but not to play directly Highest in the room. If you ask for the song, what you will get in any case is a list with that name, which will be played randomly.
