Creating Playlist on Amazon Music

By peter, 19 February, 2022

Forum
iOS and iPadOS

I would like to create a playlist on my Amazon Music account so that I can simply ask Alexa to play my playlist and hear my favorite songs.

I tried doing so on both the web and desktop versions of Amazon Music using my PC but found it to be totally inaccessible with a screen reader.

So I thought it was worth a shot trying to create a playlist using the Amazon Music iOS app on my iPhone.

Unfortunately I am not having much success there either. I wonder if anyone has some suggestions on how to do this either with the iOS app or some other way.

Thanks.

Creating Playlist on Amazon Music

By Rob

I have also run into these issues. The easiest way now to do this is to ask Alexa to create a playlist, then get her to play the songs you want on it by saying Alexa, add to (insert name) playlist. Not ideal but better than nothing.

Amazon have disappointed me with their approach to the web, desktop and app versions of Amazon Music. The app was quite good when I first used it but has got worse. Is Apple music any better?

I do it via Alexa too

I do it the same way Rob does. In the past, I've even been able to purchase tracks using Alexa, but i have not tried recently so not sure that is still possible.

Adding songs to a playlist

By Jeff

As mentioned already, the easiest way is to ask Alexa to do it. You can just say:

{wakeword} add {songtitle} to {playlist}
where songtitle is the title of the song or if it's currently playing, you can just say add this song to playlist where playlist is the name of the playlist. If the playlist doesn't exist, she will ask if you want to create it.

It is possible to add songs using the Amazon Music app. if you find the song in a list and scroll down until you find an Options link, double-tap that and one of the menu options is to add to a playlist.

I have not tried this, but I suspect you can add albums in the same way.
