Apple and Spotify’s podcasts come to Echo devices in the US

Amazon Alexa was able to read Apple podcasts, and the Amazon Echo family was the first third-party customer to use Apple's AirPlay Podcasts. With this growth, according to Amazon, Apple's device library exceeded 800,000. Customers can configure Apple Podcasts as a priority podcasting service. This move is the latest in a series of partnerships between the two rivals between the Apple TV application on the Amazon Heat TV platform and the launch of Apple Music on Echo and Fire TV devices. As a result, Amazon expanded Apple's inventory and included Apple's iPad TV, iPhone, and Apple Watch.

Alexa customers can request a podcast that they want to read or hear to continue. You can also use other command-line players, such as Next and Fast Forward. Also, as you move between the units, the progress of each section is synchronized. In other words, you can start entering Alexa and resume where you left off your iPhone. Apple Podcast users can set the default player in Alexa application settings. In other words, if you ask Alexa to provide a source less podcast, the podcast will be broadcast from the Apple Podcasts service. It is worth announcing that Spotify supports Alexa podcasts in the US today.

Of course, so far, Spotify Premium users can send a broadcast to Echo with Spotify Connect. But now Spotify says that cheap and high-quality US customers can request Alexa podcasts and choose Spotify as their default player. Alexa's support for Spotify podcast is an annual Amazon Alexa event in Seattle, so it's not surprising when Apple was added in September (along with other news). At the time, Amazon said it would increase its support for the Spotify podcast library in the United States, which would bring "hundreds of thousands" of podcasts to Alexa devices. Immediately after the announcement, Spotify will be available for free on Alexa devices and premium subscribers.
