How to share a specific playlist to my dad's Alexa

4 replies

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 13/04/2026 08:34

I want to make/share a playlist for my elderly dad which he can play on his Alexa device. To the best of my knowledge, he doesn't have a subscription to Amazon music or Spotify etc. Does anyone know if there is any way of doing this?

The songs that I want on the list are very specific, and I have already created it in my own Amazon account if that makes any difference, but don't think I can share it if he doesn't have an account?

He does have an Amazon account if that makes any difference, and I think (but am not certain) that he has Amazon prime.

He would need a subscription to whatever service the playlist has been made on, and then he would be able to save it/download it after you have shared the link

OK, thanks for replying. So it sounds like there is no way of doing it without a subscription.

Are there any other options? Back in the day, we used to make mix tapes but I don't have any equipment that will enable me to do that!

He could do it without a subscription technically, but he would still need an account to use the free version of either spotify or amazon music. There would be ads though. Could you log into your amazon music on his alexa?

Interested in this thread?

That's a good idea, thank you.
