My Question or Issue

When I try to log in with my Google-account on Spotify on my Android phone, it says ''there already is an account with this email address'' (translated from Dutch). I then have log in manually without automatically logging in via Google on Android. The problem could perhaps be that my email address has to be synced with Google, even though it's the same email address, but I wouldn't know how.

 

The relevance of this problem is that I've been trying to connect my premium account with the Google Home app. The good thing is that Google Nest does connect with my premium Spotify account, the only problem being that it uses my premium account as a free account. Other housemates (I live in a student house) have in fact succeeded to connect normally, it's just that mine doesn't. I've tried logging in and out, also on the Google Home app, it just doesn't seem to get that it's a premium account.

 

To anyone who might have a solution, I'd be very thankful!!!! 🙂

Hi there @GuusValk,

thanks for reaching out !

 

In order to have your account connecting through Google, it should be created through it as well.

Then, once they two are related, you'll be prompt to log in with the password that seems to work for you here.

 

Furthermore, the issue here seems to be related to your Google Home Nest and the link provided.

Therefore, I'd recommend you try to link/unlink using the email and password of your Premium account and the Google one.

 

Let me know how it goes 🙂
