5 Easy Ways To Play Specific Songs On Alexa

Play Music From Your Phone 

This method is for you if you don’t have a subscription to any premium music source.

Using this method, you can play music from your phone playlist.

All you need is to connect your device to Alexa using Bluetooth.

Follow these steps and play what you like:

• Turn on Bluetooth on your mobile phone.
• Keep your phone near Alexa to be in range.
• Tell Alexa to connect by saying, “Alexa, pair.”
• Open the Alexa app and go to Bluetooth settings.
• Go to Devices and navigate to Echo and Alexa.
• Tap Pair Alexa Gadget from the devices list.
• Open Bluetooth settings on your mobile.
• Check and confirm if Alexa is showing up.

Once your phone connects to Alexa, you can give commands to Alexa with the name of your favorite song.

For instance, you can use this command, “Alexa, play <song title> by <artist name>” i.e., “Alexa, play The Box by Roddy Ricch.”

Get Amazon Music Subscription

This method is for you if you love to listen to Amazon Music.

Amazon Music offers different streaming services: free, prime, and unlimited.

You can use this method for all of these services.

You might only have limitations with the songs you listen to.

If you command Alexa by saying, “Alexa, play Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi.”

For Amazon Music Free, you might not find this complete song.

However, for Prime and Unlimited subscriptions, Alexa will play the full song for you.

So, for Prime and Unlimited subscription users, just a voice command would play the complete song.

Lay back on your couch, relax, and listen to the music!
