My Question or Issue

For some reason unable to send Spotify to echo dot, requiring premium.  I have always been able to send per Bluetooth, music from Spotify app to echo dot speakers… now I can’t, stating premium is required.

Hi @Muzikfy,

Thanks for reaching out. Using Spotify on Amazon Alexa devices does indeed require Premium as you can see here, however if you just connect one of these speakers to your phone via Bluetooth to use as an output device, this shouldn't be an issue. Make sure the way you are connecting to the devices is indeed via Bluetooth, where possible, because if you try to use your account directly on the Echo device then it won't work without Premium.

Hope this clears things up.
