Here are the currently available iHeartRadio commands for Alexa.Īlexa, play the station
Disable and reenable the iHeartRadio skill in the Alexa app. Update your Echo by saying, “Alexa, check for software updates.” On the Echo Show, you’ll need to go to Settings -> Device Options -> Check for Software Updates, as the voice command won’t work. Restart your Echo by unplugging it, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging it back in. Sometimes, Alexa becomes unresponsive or fails to play music services like iHeartRadio. Change the remaining two defaults to iHeartRadio if you want to. Select iHeartRadio from the list of music services.
You’ll probably want to set the same default service for all three, but you can also set iHeartRadio as the default for just music, artist and genre stations, or podcasts. In case you forgot, it’s at More -> Settings -> Music & Podcasts. Setting iHeartRadio as Alexa’s default music service
Sign in with your iHeartRadio credentials (or sign up) and give the Alexa skill access to your iHeartRadio profile. Select Settings from the iHeartRadio Alexa skill page. You can just say, “Alexa, play Kesha radio,” and your Echo will know you want it to use the iHeartRadio skill. That way, you don’t have to specify iHeartRadio for voice commands. Set iHeartRadio as your default Alexa music service. I suggest this even if you just have (or want to create) a free iHeartRadio account. Link your iHeartRadio account to the Alexa skill to access your personalized content and other benefits of iHeartRadio membership. But, for now, you can get started by requesting an artist radio with a command like “Alexa, play Cardi B radio on iHeartRadio.”īefore leaving the Alexa app, there are two more things you’ll want to do. We’ll look at all of the Alexa iHeartRadio commands in a minute.
With the skill enabled, you can start using iHeartRadio on all your Alexa devices. Click Enable to Use to activate the iHeartRadio skill in your Alexa account.
