Alexa Spotify Skill - Does not understand playlist name

Solved!

Alexa Spotify Skill - Does not understand playlist name

Plan

Country

Germany

 

Device

All our Echos: Echo 1st Gen/Echo Dot 2nd Gen./Echo Dot 3rd Gen

 

My Question or Issue

Alexa does not play my own playlists anymore. I am trying to play my own playlists by saying "Alexa, play my playlist [playlistname] from Spotify."

Alexa reponds: playing [some public playlist that sounds kind of like the same as my playlist name]

 

 

When I look in Alexa activity log, I see that my playlist name was understood correctly.

I tried to disconnect the Spotify account and reconnect it.

I tried to disable and enable the Spotify skill.

I tried to rename the playlists.

I tried resetting the Alexa device.

 

None of the above helped.

Amazon support told me, that this is a skill problem and only Spotify can solve it.

 

I need help, please!

Hey there @McAledih,

 

Thank you for your post here in the Community. We're happy to help.

 

Can you confirm if you mean that you've set Spotify as the default music service in the Alexa app? 

 

It would be great if you can head over to this article to make sure that you've followed the steps correctly.

 

We'll keep an eye out for your reply.

 

Cheers!
