The first- and second-generation Echo Dots come with sound that’s a little bit tinny.

That doesn’t just mean Alexa’s voice will come through clearer: music will sound better too.ĭo you need to do that? Well, it depends.

That’s because every Echo Dot comes with an audio-out jack, meaning you can connect it to another, better speaker. The good news is that no matter how weak the sound from your Echo Dot is, it can be improved. That’s a whole different question, and it depends on a number of factors. From now on, you won’t need to add “on Spotify” to your requests. Under “Account Settings”, you’ll find an option called “Default Services” – tap this, and then tick Spotify instead of Amazon Music. Scroll down to “Settings”, then “Alexa preferences”, and tap on “Music”.

Go into the Alexa app and tap “More” in the menu along the bottom of the screen. “Alexa, play Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones on Spotify” doesn’t exactly slip off the tongue. Instead, you need to say “Alexa, play The Rolling Stones on Spotify” which is a whole lot more unwieldy – especially if you have a specific song in mind. That’s because saying “Alexa, play The Rolling Stones” will default to playing it on Amazon Music Unlimited – and if you don’t have it, Alexa might offer you a free trial. Of course, when you open up and start playing with your Echo Dot, you might wonder if I’m mistaken. How do I make Spotify the default music player on the Echo Dot? That’s true even if you don’t have a Spotify Premium account, thanks to a relatively recent change – although if you don’t pay, then you’ll still have to put up with ads, just as you would on any other device. All Echo devices can connect to Spotify to play music. So can the Echo Dot play Spotify instead? Can the Echo Dot play Spotify? The trouble is that relatively few people use Amazon Music Unlimited. The way Amazon pitches it, Echo devices, such as the Echo Dot, are brilliant for playing Amazon Music Unlimited.
