2 Ways to Fix Alexa Can’t Find Music In My Library

Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant has transformed the way we enjoy music, allowing us to access a vast library of songs with a simple voice command.

 However, encountering an issue where Alexa can’t find music in your library can be frustrating. In this blog post, we will explore two effective methods to troubleshoot and fix the problem of Alexa not finding music in your library. 

Let’s dive in and get your music back on track!

Check Music Library Syncing 

The first step in resolving the issue is to ensure that your music library is properly synced with Alexa. Follow these steps to ensure synchronisation:

Update Music Library 

To do so:

• Open the Alexa app on your device
• Navigate to the “More” tab. 
• Select “Settings” 
• Choose “Music & Podcasts.” 
• Tap on your preferred music services, such as Amazon Music or Spotify, and check if your library is up to date. 
• If not, select the option to update your music library, allowing Alexa to refresh its content.

Verify Library Availability

Confirm that the music you’re searching for is included in your music library. Sometimes, music might be temporarily unavailable due to licensing restrictions or changes in your subscription status.

Double-check the availability of the specific songs, albums, or playlists you’re trying to access.

Reauthorize Music Services

If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, try reauthorizing your music services. 

To do so:

• Go to “Settings” 
• Select “Music & Podcasts” 
• Tap on the music service you’re using.
•  Choose the option to unlink the service and then relink it. 

This process can reestablish the connection between Alexa and your music library.

Ensure Music Service Integration 

Another possible reason for Alexa’s inability to find music in your library is a lack of integration between your chosen music service and Alexa.

 Follow these steps to ensure proper integration:

Enable Music Skill

You can also enable Music Skill to ensure proper integration of Libraries and playlists with Alexa.

To do so: 

• Open the Alexa app 
• Go to the “Skills & Games” section. 
• Search for the skill associated with your music service 
• Enabled “Music Skill”

Enabling the skill ensures that Alexa can access and retrieve music from your preferred service.

Reinstall Music Service Skill

You can also try to reinstall the Music Skill service drivers to promote seamless integration of the Libraries and Playlists with Alexa. 

• Open the Alexa app 
• Go to the “Skills & Games” section. 
• Diable “Music Skill”
• Wait for 1 minute.
• Enabled “Music Skill”

Contact Music Service Support

 If the issue persists despite following the above steps, it is recommended to reach out to the support team of your chosen music service. 

They can provide specific troubleshooting steps tailored to their service and address any account-related issues that may be causing the problem.

Conclusion 

Encountering the issue of Alexa not finding music in your library can be frustrating, but with these two effective methods, you can troubleshoot and fix the problem. 

By checking music library syncing and ensuring music service integration, you can address any synchronisation or integration issues that may be hindering Alexa’s ability to find your music. 

Following these steps will help you regain seamless access to your music library and enjoy your favourite tunes effortlessly through Amazon’s Alexa.
