Can I use voice commands to find out what playlist Alexa is playing?
Alexa currently doesn’t have the option to ask her directly what playlist she plays (unless it is a playlist that you have created before). The reason is Alexa chooses the playlist based on your song request and considers your subscription (when selecting stations). The playlist is actually generated in real time according to your interests. So it won’t name the playlist
However, if you ask, “Alexa, what are you playing,” then the smart assistant will respond with the name of the song it is playing currently.
So you cannot ask Alexa directly to give you the name of the playlist. However, that doesn’t mean you cannot get back what she played.
Let’s see what you can do to get the playlist your Alexa has played for you.
How to find out what playlist Alexa is playing
For this trick, you need to download and set up Alexa app on your smartphone (Whether it is Android or iOS, it doesn’t matter)
Then, all you have to do is look for the recently played playlist on the app. Here is how you can do that;
- Open the Alexa app
- Tap on the Play tab at the bottom of the screen
- On the top, you will see the recently played songs and stations on your Alexa
- Now you can select the songs and add them to your playlist or even create a new one
Note: Alexa won’t play songs from stations that you have no access to. So when you say Alexa to play songs, it will only pick songs from authorized stations on your account. That mean’s the songs listed under recently played should be visible to you, and it can be saved into your playlist without any issue.
Add the current song to the favorites
If you don’t know, you can add a song that is not in your playlist on your Alexa. This way, you don’t have to keep asking Alexa what playlist it plays each time.
What you need to do here is simple, just tell Alexa, “Alexa, I like this song.” The moment you say it, your Alexa will save that song in your favorites and keep playing songs similar to it.
Also, Alexa will even add a song to your playlist if you give this voice command while the song you like is playing. The voice command is;
“Alexa, add this song to my playlist”
You can even combine these two commands and get the most out of it;
“Alexa, I like this song. add this song to my playlist”
This would be even better if you first create a playlist. Then you can add good songs that your Alexa keeps playing for you. This is just a tip, and you don’t need to create another playlist if you don’t like to.
