Alexa, share this song: new Echo Show feature

February 10, 2021

It seems that MyMovies | Amazon's Alexa will soon be responding to a new command. Users will only need to activate Alexa Communications in the app to use the feature. So, to send a song to a contact, simply give the voice command: “Alexa, share this song with John”, for example.

This command can be very useful in situations where you are listening to a certain song on the radio and can't remember the name of it, so you can send it to someone to help you. Whoever receives the song can play it through the Alexa app itself, reacting to show what they thought, or play it directly from their Echo device.

Know that new resources can work for both good and bad. For example, you can share a song on a special date (Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and birthdays) with a loved one, showing that the song reminded you of them. Or, when you have an unbearable song stuck in your head, you can share your pain of not being able to forget it with your family and friends.

To make Alexa share the music you want, you don't just need the Amazon Music. Any other streaming service (such as Spotify and Deezer) can activate the feature. It is also worth noting that Alexa will search for the song you chose on the service your contact uses, but if it does not find it, it will suggest a radio station that plays that type of music based on your information.

According to Digital Trends, Amazon said the new music sharing feature is being rolled out and improved gradually. It is not yet known which countries will be the first to receive the new feature.
