How to Turn Up Multiple Songs at Once on Alexa

====================================================================

Are you tired of tediously selecting and playing individual songs from your Amazon Music library every time you want a music-filled morning? Worry no more! With the help of some cleverly crafted Alexa routines, you can now turn up multiple songs at once with just a simple voice command.

In this article, we'll show you how to create an Alexa routine that will play all the tracks from two separate playlists simultaneously. This feature is particularly useful if you have long commutes or workout sessions where continuous music playback would be ideal.

Prerequisites

---------

Before diving into the steps below, make sure you meet these requirements:

1. You must own an Amazon Echo smart speaker (such as Echo Dot, Echo Plus) that supports multiple voice control.

2. Your Alexa app should be updated to its latest version on both your smartphone and computer devices.

3. Both your Android or iOS device(s) have the Amazon Music application installed.

Step-by-Step Guide

-------------

### Step 1: Enable Voice Control for Multiple Devices

Firstly, ensure that voice control is enabled across all of your connected Alexa-enabled speakers in settings under 'Alexa' > 'Settings' > 'Multi-Room Audio.'

### Step 2: Create a New Routine on Your Smartphone App

Open the Amazon Music app and tap on the three dots at the top right corner. Tap 'Your Library,' then select '+' next to 'Playlists.' Name your new playlist, for example, 'Morning Workout Mix.'

Now, go back to the main library screen and repeat steps 1-3 until you have created two separate playlists with different songs each (let's call them Playlist A and Playlist B).

### Step 3: Create an Alexa Routine

Open the Amazon Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet. Tap 'More' at the bottom right corner, then tap 'Routines.' Name this new routine something descriptive like 'Play Morning Workout Mix.'

Underneath 'When,' select 'Customize...' Choose a wake word of your choice (e.g., 'Alexa'). Underneath 'What happens next?', click on '+' and choose 'Music & Media' > 'Play music from playlist'. Select the first Playlist A that you created earlier.

Repeat step 4 but instead, select Playlists B under 'Play Music From'.

### Step 5: Test Your New Routine

Save your new routine by tapping 'Done.' Now say out loud the wake phrase followed by the name of your newly created Alexa routine (for example, 'Alexa, play Morning Workout Mix'). Both playlists should start playing simultaneously on all connected speakers.

Tips & Tricks

----------

- To stop playback at any time during a routine execution, simply say 'Alexa, cancel' or press and hold down the respective button on your Echo device.

- If you want to change which songs are included in each playlist without having to manually edit them every single day, consider setting up an automated process using IFTTT (If This Then That) recipes that sync data between services like Google Drive/OneDrive Dropbox etc.!
