Title: Alarm with music
Post by: Sujit on November 23, 2018, 06:38:16 am

Am in UK. Tried Alarm Music on Alexa and Echo Dot (v2 & 3) without any success at all. It sets the alarm but plays the tone set in the profile. I have Spotify Premium (as default) which is not recognised for alarm. I tried something like:

"Alexa, set alarm for 1:00pm to Bohemian Rhapsody.

I've noticed it can be sensitive to how you ask...

Try saying it like this: Alexa, set an alarm playing Bohemian Rhapsody at 1 o'clock.

I agree, it is how you ask. Tried your phrase and it works!

Tried with "Set music alarm, and it plays the default alarm sound only! Reminders work great, as I have now discovered but prefer the voice activation as above. Thanks.
