Amazon Echo offers support to Spotify for Premium subscribers.
Amazon.com Inc. came up with the Amazon Echo, which is one of most sought after products by the company that has a strong user base and sales. Echo is a product with Bluetooth-enabled speakers that have an ‘amazing lady’ known as Alexa present inside.
Alexa is your one-stop solution since she can be your note taker, a pivot point for your smartphones, and a list maker for your shopping needs. It is a faithful partner in this fast-paced world. It is odd and futuristic if one thinks about talking to a tennis ball but not anymore. In reality, it is actually quite amazing since the company’s speech recognition is actually quite strong.
So far, nothing can be concluded of being perfect. However, one annoying fact regarding the company’s voice enabled assistant is the support it gets from big industry that consumers actually demand.
Users can request iHeartRadio stations or Pandora to play the songs present in Amazon Music library or any music in store on Amazon Prime Music but that is a viable option if he/she possesses an Amazon Prime membership. It goes beyond saying that users can make use of Echo as a speaker connected via Bluetooth with the ability to pair up with gadgets if required.
For now, Alexa cannot play carefully picked guitar playlist present on Spotify. The paradigms have changed finally and now Amazon has finally announced its support for the Premium account holders on Spotify.
What Spotify users need to do is simply log in their accounts through the Alexa Application running on Google Android and Apple iOS. Once this is done, simply convey all your demands to Alexa and it will have everything sorted.
According to the company, the recent functionality of Echo encompasses Spotify Connect, which ensures seamless transition on the go and while listening at home. You can easily transmit whatever you have been listening to from your smartphone to the Echo speaker and it will play from exactly the point you stopped.
Many analysts now believe that this might be the point where the dynamics change for Amazon since it is pushing Echo to become an open-end platform. It seems like an important change in terms of the strategy deployed by Amazon since Spotify has always acted like an imminent threat to Prime Music.
Ironically, there is great difference when it comes to both the streaming services since Spotify has 30 million songs on it digital library whereas Amazon Prime Music just has more than a million. Thus, getting access to 30 million songs with just some verbal commands will actually be appealing.
