Amazon Music in the test
This is what the music service has to offer
Amazon Music offers a wide range of different tariffs that are particularly attractive for Prime customers. But Amazon newbies will also get their money’s worth.
However, there are some workarounds that you can use to be able to easily use your music streaming service via Google speaker devices. We’ll show you how it works.
The most important Google Assistant voice commands for Amazon Music
You can carry out numerous voice commands via Google Assistant. However, due to the lack of compatibility, the control does not work with the music service Amazon Music.
One advantage: Since Alexa voice control is integrated into the Amazon Music app, you can decide on the content that should be played. Here are some suggestions that can definitely help you when streaming music.
- Alexa, play my favorite playlist.
- Alexa, play 80s music.
- Alexa, please continue in the list.
- Alexa, play all Queen songs.
- Alexa, another/next song.
When using voice commands, make sure that you speak them clearly and loudly enough into the microphone of your cell phone on which you use the voice assistant Alexa.
Amazon Music vs. Amazon Music Unlimited: Are there any differences with Google Assistant?
Since Amazon Music is not supported by Google, it generally makes no difference which subscription you use. Neither the free version nor Amazon Music Unlimited are compatible with Google speakers. The only thing that changes is the amount of content you hear via Bluetooth. With the paid Amazon Music Unlimited, you have access to 100 instead of 2 million songs that you can play on your Google speakers but cannot control.

If you want to change your Amazon Music account, just like the subscription, this usually has no direct impact on the use of your Google devices. Because you can continue to use Google speakers via Bluetooth as you wish. Which account you use on your Amazon Music app is therefore not important.
You can easily change your Amazon Music account in the Amazon Music app by first logging out and logging in again with your new access data. However, this has no impact on Google devices.
