Spotify subscribers just need to sign into their account via the Alexa app for iOS and Android. But that changes today! Amazon announced that Echo just added support for Spotify Premium users.

And of course, you can use Echo as a Bluetooth speaker-one that conveniently pairs to your device if you simply ask it to.
