[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!

Ya, that is not a solution, my kids do not have phones, nor are they at an age where they will be getting one.

I want them to be able to listen to lullabies, or soothing music when they are put to bed, or kids music whenever they wish.

in their own rooms 

on their own Echo devices

while Dad is downstairs cooking dinner listening to guns and roses on the echo in the kitchen.

I see what you mean.

it does seem to revert to whatever main account is linked if you ask Alexa to play something through the echo/dot.

however seems it does work really well and means my partner can easily play anything on our Echo and it not disrupt my phone whilst at work.

just means using Spotify as a remote for your Alexa device rather than using voice when the main account holder isn’t home?

not perfect but might suit some others.

regards,

Anthony.

The main advantage of spotify on alexa is that it's straight wifi- no need
for a phone or bluetooth connection. It's a huge deal to me and my family
and I'm shocked such an obvious limitation would be allowed to continue so
long.

I need thus feature. There is not much point in a family account without it because we cant all listen to our own music in our own rooms

Found the solution! Returned the Echo Plus and got Google Home instead. Google home can link to 5 different users and links them by voice. So if I say play Spotify playlist it is looking at my account. If my wife says play spotify playlist it looks at hers. You don't even have to tell Google Home to switch users, it just knows by voice. Google Home solved it Amazon echo should too.

Yes please! This is a massive pain.

I have two - soon to be THREE Echos in my house.  Since you now can have different profiles on Echos and voice recognition, it should play the proper amazon accounts too.  If my wife is listening to her Echo, i can't use my spotify anywhere.

We just bought our echos and signed up for Spotify.

My wife is linked to my Amazon account using "Household", so we have seperate accounts, we also have seperate Spotify accounts and they are linked to our Amazon profiles.

If my wife switches to her account with Alexa, it says Spotify is only available for the primary account. So we both cannot listen to music at the same time, she has to use my account while home, and I cannot listen while I am at work.

 any update on this? i just signed up to this service and find this so absurd i'll probably cancel after the month is over... here i thought i'd try this service instead of giving my music money to amazon or google

Hello all, 

I did not read all the comments and perhaps this has been mentioned, but while Spotify and Amazon come in agreement, has anyone tried to create an extra Spotify account, add it to your family plan and link that one to Echo instead of your prefered/personal Spotify account? I believe the limit in the family plan is 5. I am about to purchase my first Echo and I thought of searching about this very same topic just now. For now, my wife and I have an extra iPhone laying around, so that makes 3 accounts in our Spotify family plan, which we use to play music for our son at home, while I listen to my account at the office and on the car; ditto for her.
