[Alexa] Multiple Spotify Accounts for Amazon Echo

[rskyles]

My wife and I have our own Spotify accounts. On Amazon Echo, you can create your own profile.  It would be great to link your own Spotify account to your own Amazon Echo account.

Thanks!

+1. This is an essential feature spotify. Don't understand why you aren't replying to your community.

I’m in the exact same boat. Family sharing but no way to simply switch between Spotify accounts on my Echo or two Dots. 

This is a basic function that’s needed. Poor show that it’s not there.

Hey @rskyles thanks for bringing your idea to the Community. As this idea involves a third party we cannot comment on whether this feature is in progress or not. We're marking it as 'Not Right Now', but if we publicly announce this feature is coming we'll update this idea. Thanks!

@meahtenoha it doesn't have to involve a third party. Just handle the family accounts like Netflix. 5 streams from any devicefor any sub accounts.

Agreed not sure why this is not included already 

[Srandecker]

I switched to Family for this sole reason - that my kids who are sans smartphones could listen to Spotify from Echo WITHOUT it being my account. Alexa is not working with this. Why?!?!

[wmilner]

Switch to Amazon Prime - u can link Amazon Prime to alexa instead with multiple accounts i think - Spotify have been far to slow sorting this out.  Its absurd to offer a family plan but one not fit for use on the fastest growing platform (Alexa)

[Srandecker]

@wmilner Funny you should mention that. We have Amazon Prime AND Amazon Music. It will work on Echo, but not on Dot unless we upgrade further.

Echos now £100 not £150....and sound quality so much better....almost worth it....

[jonathanhatch]

The problem, here, is that I don't use Echo or Dot to actually play my
music. I use a Sonos system. The difference in sound quality is night and
day from other sound systems.
