Samsung Soundbars fully support Alexa with Spotify

Hello,

 

I am an otherwise happy owner of an Samsung HW-Q900A soundbar (with Dolby Atmos). There are many owners that are not happy about the missing functionality of playing Spotify with the in the soundbar built-in Alexa. Alexa just says that Spotify is not supported on this device when you ask Alexa to play something on spotify.

 

Amazon Music with Alexa works with a Amazon Music unlimited subscription or Amazon prime.

 

There are really many users that are frustrated about this. Many more are not reporting it as they can see others have failed getting it working. See here for some examples:

I would really appreciate if Spotify could get this working.

Kind regards Christian

Please make this available for the alexa integration for my samsung soundbar hw-q900a. Otherwise I have to switch to amazon music. Please give us a update, if the feature will come.

Please make it work's for Samsung S61A. It can't be that hard.

You buy a soundbar for 1.500 bucks. Description says it has "Alexa" and "Spotify". Who would assume they do not cooperate?

 

I love Spotify. ... Please don't make me sell my Soundbar - or leave Spotify.

Same problem here (HW-S60A). Depressing. Will have to switch to Amazon music

Does the full Spotify Support include Multi-Room Sound via play "Everywhere"?

When I select Everywhere the Soundbar stops playing, but my Amazon Echo still plays music. Does anyone have the same issue?
