What to Know
How to Link Prime Music to Your Alexa Device
To get more specific, call out a genre, artist, or song by name. Experiment with commands until you find what you want to hear. Alexa will let you know if it isn’t in her library.
Once the music starts to play, control playback using specific commands. For example, say, “Alexa, skip this song”, or, “Alexa, restart this song." Here are a few more commands to try. Just say “Alexa," and then continue with the command:
- Volume up or Volume downWho is this artist?What song is this?Stop or PauseNext or PreviousShuffle or Stop ShuffleListen to my playlist.Play a station I haven’t heard in a whilePlay something more like thisPlay the artist I was listening to yesterdayThumbs up or Thumbs down (to let Alexa know you like/dislike a song)
