Amazon Echos are fantastic music devices, thanks to a design that often focuses on 360-degree sound and a position that’s ideal for filling rooms with tunes, whether you like to rock out while you clean the house, you organize a party or create the atmosphere at work. If that sounds good to you, we’ve got you covered with the best ways to test Alexa-powered music stations and station skills.
Keep in mind that many speakers and soundbars are compatible with Alexa in addition to Echo devices, so these tricks should work with them as long as Alexa is built in.
Already have a favorite streaming service?
The good news is that Alexa can probably play it right from your Echo or other speaker. If you go to settings in the Alexa app you can choose Music and podcaststhen change yours default service. Alexa is compatible with several popular services, including Apple Music, Pandora, SiriusXM, Tidal, and more. Just sign in with your account information, and the Alexa app will use the service as its default music whenever you want to play something. This can save you a lot of hassle – our guide to listening to Apple Music with Alexa has more.
How to find Alexa from your own radio stations?
You might be wondering which music stations a voice assistant like Alexa can play, or which music stations are free on Alexa so you don’t have to subscribe. This brings us to Alexa Skills, Alexa Widgets, and Compatibility Packs that allow the voice assistant to offer all sorts of additional content. These are the skills we will focus on in our top recommendations.
Do you have a favorite radio station?
If you already have a favorite local station, or not so local, you can save a lot of time simply by asking Alexa to play it. You can call the station by its full name or call it with a code, for example, “Alexa, play WE 102.9 radio.”
Alexa will automatically search for the online version of that station (Echos don’t come with tuners), apply the necessary skills to enable it, and start playing. This is a great option if you already know exactly what season you have in mind. If not, we have some suggestions for you!
Raj Radio
Radio Paradise allows you to take your hands off the wheel and trust in the ability to play the latest and greatest music prepared by professional DJs choosing all sorts of genres. This makes it a perfect choice for background music, but it’s also fun to turn it on and see what’s playing. We love this option for finding new favorite bands and listening to the latest music that’s making waves across a variety of different genres.
radio my tuner
MyTuner Radio is a popular option for accessing global FM and AM radio stations in their online formats. This is a great option if you like to listen to international music or news directly from stations in Europe, Asia or Australia. You also have access to popular stations like NPR News, Radio Disney, ESPN Radio and more. This makes it a great all-around option even for those who aren’t interested in international genres.
The Roots FM
There are countless radio stations available for classic rock listening, many with online components, but if you’re looking for one to get started, we recommend The Roots FM. It’s a popular choice, specializing in DJs with knowledge and a catalog that goes well beyond the typical 100 or so classic rock titles played on many stations.
classic radio mix
Few other stations of skill span as many eras as Classic Mix Radio, playing popular songs from the ’60s to the present day. It’s a great choice if you enjoy the most popular songs of all eras, starting with the Beatles. They also have special musical shows for the United States Armed Forces.
deep house
Deep House plays all of Deep House, all of the time. It’s one of the best Alexa picks for those who are looking for an electronic station to enjoy and would prefer a lot of songs to have vocals or remixes along the way. Find something new and share it with your friends.
Wizard (93.5)
This little gem, based in Louisville, plays a wide variety of popular music and keeps things “clean,” making it a top skill for family-owned businesses like restaurants and more. There are also live DJs every night.
Hard Rock Radio Hell
Alexa’s hard rock stations don’t get much better than Hard Rock Hell, which plays a wide variety of hard rock content from the US, UK and beyond. If you love listening to the best hard rock and metal bands, as well as finding new bands to follow, this is definitely a skill to try.
give me the metal
This station offers heavy metal tunes, and very good ones. It’s a particularly good choice for those who really love their music and are interested in discovering new bands, as the carefully curated tracks try to keep up with the latest sensations in the genre.
