how to avoid spotify playing on a second device

how to avoid spotify playing on a second device

I move a lot with my spotify music (home, office, car, 2nd home). The problem appears when anyone at home/2nd home/office, asks Alexa to play music on other location from where I am.
It disconnects my Spotify to play on the other device, being very annoying, because it means that anyone can stop my spotify (family, employees, friends). I don't mind them using my Spotify if I'm not using it, but I dont want them to be able to disconect me from my account because they want to use it. I mainly connect Spotify from my mobile (and I have Spotify DUO)
What options do I have? (I cannot be logging out because I'm moving between these places constantly)

Hey there, 

 

Thanks for reaching out!


Spotify can generally only be used on one device per account. If you stay logged in with your own account on each speaker, then the playback from any of the other devices will disconnect your own playback every time. Spotify is for personal. non-commercial use only.

With that said, we'd first recommend checking out this Spotify FAQ for more info on using Spotify with Amazon speakers.
Tip: Scroll down to Can I use multiple Spotify accounts with Alexa? for more insights in regards to what you are looking for.

 

Spotify should work well when each member of the Duo plan has their own Alexa account linked to their own Spotify account in order to be able to listen to Spotify on their respective devices.

Tip: Here are the instructions on how to link each Spotify account to its respective Alexa account.

 

Another setup you can try is an Amazon Household which allows you to have multiple profiles in the same account. You can link your Spotify account to your own Household profile and use the smart speaker you want, even if someone else is using another one in the house. As a Household only has slots for two adult accounts though, it's not likely that this setup will work for you in the office, where you'd have to log out and have any other person log in in order for them to not interrupt your playback.

Hope you'll find this info helpful! We're here for you in case further questions arise 🙂

Thank you for your answer, but unfortunately, it just describes my problem without providing any solution (I've also checked the links carefully, but not a single hint for solving the problem) 😥
