Amazon Echo: Stream and control Tidal - Here's how
If you want to stream and control music via your Amazon Echo, this is not possible with all providers. This practical tip shows you whether Tidal is supported by the Echo.
Stream Tidal on the Amazon Echo
- Only a handful of providers of music streaming are currently supported on the Amazon Echo. Further services are to follow in the future.
- Spotify, Amazon Music, Amazon Music Unlimited, Pandora, TuneIn, iHeartRadio and Audible are currently included. Unfortunately Tidal is not there. It is currently unclear whether Tidal is working on a skill for Alexa.
- There is currently no way to stream Tidal directly over the Echo. If you use a Sonos box with echo, you can at least connect Tidal and Sonos. You can then use Echo to control manual playback on your Sonos by voice command, albeit to a limited extent.
