My Question or Issue

 After 5 songs (playlist, album or other) Amazon Alexa stop music and I have to start again music using voice, Spotify app or Alexa app. If during this 5 songs I skip the track no problem for other 5 songs and at the end of the 5th stops again. From other devices no problem at all. The Amazon support don't know how to solve the problem. They are analyzing it and suggest also to contact Spotify. Any ideas?

I did all of the reinstall with Amazon Alexa last week.  It fixed the constant cut out for 2 days and now its doing it all over again.  My echo multi room still cuts out after about 5 songs.  Its frustrating since I have a premium account I use this as the music source for my acupuncture office.  So its kind of part of the experience during treatment.  Please fix this glitch!!!  I have done all the requried fixes and it didn't relly help

So after 4 months of non stop issues with this device in "multi-room" feature. Music keeps cutting our mid song and I must constantly manually start each new song . I have an acupuncture practice and have 5 devices. I bought this product for their "misleading claims" that the device is compatible with Spotify but after multiple conversations by phone with tech support only did I just find out that that Spotify IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE MULTI-ROOM FEATURE. No where is that stated and 2 phone calls with tech support about this issue NO ONE told me about it NOT BEING COMPATIBLE IN MULTI-ROOM feature. I just found out. They will not refund my money "because its over the return time". Even though they even admitted that it is not clear that it is not available in their information. I got apologies but they will not refund my money for 'misleading claims'. I have been on multiple forums and many are having the same issues. Each says the same: they call amazon tech. Amazon tech has them reset the devices, it works for 1 day then it all starts happening again. So it looks like amazon tech is not telling most people that they "mislead" the consumer by poor advertising and now everyone just has to eat the money paid for and basically just get over it. They are not cheap speakers especially when you bought 5. So **bleep**. Amazon a multi billion dollar company...screwing the consumer again. Awesome. Class
action lawsuit anyone?!

Hey everyone,

 

There's a newer Spotify version released. Make sure your app is up-to-date, and if it doesn't help, reinstall the app and let us know how it goes. 

 

 

Keep us posted 🙂

Hello Support,

 

Spotify version is not the problem,

I already have the last version, 8.4.92.949

 

echo/alexa disconnect from spotify also by only  vocal command,

also with spotify app closed.

 

regards

alberto
