Not only can you use Alexa to request tunes with your voice, Echo devices also support Spotify Connect , letting you stream tunes manually. Connecting Alexa to Spotify offers full control of playback and your music library, an Alexa EQ feature to fine-tune audio, with tons of commands for seamless control of your music. Open the Alexa app.
Set Spotify as your preferred music service.
