Use voice commands to control music and podcasts with Amazon Alexa!
Spotify has dropped support for the Apps 4 Automotive (A4A) technology which allowed the Android device to talk to the iDrive 6 system. BMW cars equipped with iDrive 7 are not affected by this update. Currently Capo processes only local audio files and cannot deal with songs from Spotify in any way. I would love to see Capo emerge as a premium feature (or something which can be purchased as a paid app for Spotify) so that this immense resource of songs could be processed and learned from. Spotify has had an Apple Watch app for years now, but previously, users needed to bring along their iPhone to listen to their playlists on the app. The Apple Watch merely served as a remote.
Get started
Download the Alexa app, open it, and link your Spotify account with these steps:
For iPhone and iPad. Whether you play for the world or yourself, all musicians need a good ear for harmony, melody, and rhythm. Using the songs in your music collection, Capo guesses the beats, chords, and key of songs to help you break them down to their individual parts. Capo’s unique technology helps you to learn your favorites quickly as you improve your ear along the way.
