Here, tap on the menu icon near the top left of the screen and select Settings. To set this up, you need to open the Alexa app on your Android phone, iPhone, iPad or Android tablet. This option is available on the Amazon Alexa app for Android and iOS, and will work seamless for all Spotify users, irrespective of whether you are a Spotify Premium subscriber or still using the ad-supported free tier. This means that Spotify users can now stream music on the Echo devices by simply selecting Spotify as the streaming platform choice. I often have several spotify streams on my system and was eager to see the sonos-spotify integration with alexa, but because of this, the integration is useless to me, so it's a bit of a disappointment.The Spotify music streaming service is now available for Amazon Echo smart speakers and smart displays, in India. using the sonos app, instead of improving it. So I believe this should be corrected and a workaround should be found, as in the end, starting a stream via Alexa degrades the whole user experience vs.
I do understand the concept of stream authorisation that is initiated by the Alexa device and not by Sonos as a reason this doesn't work as of today, but in my opinion, it's the targeted device for the stream that should define the authorisation, and not the device from which the command was initiated. Yes I understand the basis for the limitation, but my view was: as Sonos has this exception of concurrent streams (and it would be stupid for Spotify to change this, as this is one of the main points of multiroom audio), streams started via Alexa targeting Sonos speakers should be included in this exception, as ultimately the two Spotify streams are playing on the same Sonos system.
