how do I setup Spotify to ALWAYS play on the current device?

[cvnash]

Currently I use Spotify on Alexa to play sleep music over night, but when I go to my PC and play music on Spotify it blasts the music over to the Alexa device, not my PC. How do I set Spotify to ALWAYS play from the current device, instead of defaulting to the previously played device?

Hello @cvnash,

Thanks for reaching out. This and all other options can be controlled from the Spotify Connect device list. There you can select which device to play from and which device controls the playback. More information can be found here. 

Hope this clears things up.

This answer doesn't adress the question. The question is the following: How do I set Spotify to ALWAYS play from the current device, instead of defaulting to the previously played device?

I agree that it's a big annoyance to manually have to switch to the device that you are currently listening on every time you've used Spotify previously on another device. 

If this specific setting exists, please show us where.

Still not solved 2024-06-19 and Spotify doesn't want to answer the question. Most likely this is a case of "it's a feature, not a bug".
