Spotify streaming services subscribers are allowed to connect Spotify account to the Amazon Echo devices and tell Alexa to play anything on Spotify. And the new users also receive a one-month free trial which enables users to access the music service fully and test the Amazon Echo devices. And here we will introduce the best 2 ways to play Spotify music or playlists on Amazon Echo.
