In addition, Amazon says the Echo Dot Kids Edition is gaining a host of new content from Disney this week and next. When Spotify is enabled, Amazon says the explicit filter will also be turned on by default - but parents can turn it off on their FreeTime dashboard.Īlong with the support on the Kids Edition device, the update will also now allow Spotify customers who don’t subscribe to FreeTime the option to turn off explicit lyrics, as they already can do with Amazon Music and Pandora. Our favorite playlists and music was not available, because we don’t pay for Amazon’s on-demand music service. As a Spotify household, it was hard to use the device here because of its limited support for music services outside Amazon and iHeartRadio Family. Lack of access to one of the most popular streaming services was one of my personal critiques with the Kids Edition. However, Amazon says the Spotify support would not be available until next week. The news was announced on Friday alongside new content from Disney for the Kids Edition device.

Amazon is addressing one of the larger issues with its Echo Dot Kids Edition - support for Spotify’s streaming music service, with the option to filter out explicit lyrics.
