Why is Alexa not playing Spotify?
Have you tried having Alexa play Spotify, but been met with silence? It may seem strange, but there are a few common reasons behind Alexa’s lack of response. The device may simply not be connected to the same wifi-network or account as the streaming service. Additionally, there is a chance it’s not recognizing the voice command given to it. Finally, subscribing to a paid version of Spotify may be necessary before being able to fully utilize its features. If none of these solutions work, then the best course is likely reaching out for technical support regarding their specific model of product and setup.

Whether at home or out and about with a compatible device, Spotify on Alexa is incredibly convenient for anyone looking to add some tunes to the atmosphere.
