Question

Spotify account doesn’t support streaming on this device

As the title states, have recently purchased a sonos one with the added Alexa voice services. But whenever I try to use Alexa to play music through Spotify it keeps saying that it’s not supported, have looked at similar threads and tried all the steps they list but still can’t get it work. My Spotify account is a premium family account.

Any help will be much appreciated

Kind regards

I am connected to my premium account in both the Alexa app and the Sonos app and when I use the command “Alexa. Play...”, it asks me to connect to my premium account on the Alexa app. Any ideas?

Hi

So there are a few things to check but before that, can you confirm the command Syntax you are using when getting this error?

Please check these steps and retest:

1/ Are you logged into another Amazon account on the device your are using to set-up Alexa?
2/ Are you logged into another Spotify account on any of your controlling devices?
3/ If you select Alexa App>Settings>Music & Media>Spotify. Is this the correct Spotify account? Can you navigate to your correct Spotify account via the link 'Go to Spotify.com?
4/ Have you set-up Spotify as you default music source in Alexa App>Settings>Music & Media>Choose default music service>Spotify?
5/ If you open the PC Alexa App (https://alexa.amazon.co.uk) and select 'Smart Home>Devices>Forget All' followed by 'Discover'

If the problem persists, then me may need to rest your voice control as per the steps I've listed within the Answer to this post:

The linked comment you posted above.
I had an account conflict and it was only sorted by forgetting and Re discovering devices once the conflict was resolved.
Thank you
