I love playing music off of Spotify. The selection is amazing and I can control the playlists (unlike with Pandora).
I also love playing music on my Amazon Echo. It responds well to voice commands and the speaker is very high quality.
Thankfully, Spotify and Amazon play nicely together! You don’t have full control over your library and playlists with the Echo, but you can use a phone app or desktop application for Spotify to send whatever music you want through the Echo via WiFi. It is actually much easier than you would think to setup and use.
