Idiots guide to playing music on google home

Post by robot »

When answering this question allow for the fact that I am a dinosaur when it comes to music and technology.

I am now the owner of a google home, how do i get it to play specific songs.
Have downloaded a spotify app and added some songs but the home just says going to a spotify station.

Have I got to fully subscribe to spotify? Or is there a simpler and free way.

Not sure if this helps:

https://support.spotify.com/us/listen_e ... ogle-home/

Or:

If you want to set up your free Spotify account with Home, open the Google Home app, and tap “music.” To choose your default service, tap the radio icon next to the service you want. Spotify needs to be linked, so to connect your account, tap on “link,” and sign into your Spotify account.

Thanks got a better idea now, it looks like on free spotify you can only play in shuffle mode.

Ive worked out how to get a playlist going on the home from my phone but still struggling to voice control the home to do it without it going to a "station".

Impressed with the google home though for not a lot of money amazing what it can do.

Ah, Spotify on phone is different to laptop.

I dumped it from phone as it was unmanageable etc, well for a Luddite like me.
