You’ll be prompted to sign into your Amazon account.If you have an Echo Dot or Echo Show device in your household, chances are you already know Amazon’s digital assistant, Alexa, quite well. While your songs are uploading, go to and click on “Get Started Now”. Within your Google account, go to Google Drive and create a new folder (in my video example, I create a new folder called “Nina”.)ĭouble click on the folder and drag your music files into it to have them uploaded there. Now let's go through the process of adding songs to My Pod.

It will now automatically be activated on all of your connected Amazon Echo devices.

Scroll down until you get to the Echo and Alexa section on the left hand side. Under “Departments”, select “full store directory”.

So I'm going to walk you through the steps to set My Pod up with your songs and your Amazon Echo device.įirst things first, you're going to need both an Amazon account and a Google account (if you have an Amazon Echo, you’ll most likely have an Amazon account associated with it). You can link your Amazon account with this free service, upload your music to a Google Drive folder, share that folder link, and then you simply ask your Echo device to play that song. I did a little bit of research, and I found a really interesting service called My Pod, which you can find at. So I thought, wait a minute, there must be a way to get these files that I've just purchased and downloaded onto my MacBook computer and ask my Amazon Echo to play them for me. My main one is an Echo Show, which is on my kitchen counter, and I use that to play music whenever I want to hear something, usually from a streaming service like Amazon Music. To be honest, these days I am absolutely in love with my Amazon Echo and I have several Echo units all around my home. Now of course in this day and age we don't have CD players, so it’s a little strange to still have a music service with that name.
