Just a quick point in case you haven't come across it...
I believe I read in one of the reviews of the echo/dot that it is possible
=
to change the *default* music service away from amazon prime, which
removes=
the requirement to say the "from spotify" bit of your command...
If you ch=
ange your default music service to Spotify, you should just be able to say
=
"Play songname/playlist" - possibly even higher WAF?!?!
Not got mine yet, - waiting to see what Santa brings... :)

I'd agree with others on Amazon Echo or Dot.
Wife loves you can just say "play songname/playlist name from
Spotify" and =
off it goes! No searching, pairing, syncing etc
Sometimes it does take a few attempts to recognise the more obscure act
nam=
es but both wife and daughter enjoy interacting with it.
If you have the Spotify app, you can also choose the Echo/Dot as a device
a=
nd control the music that way if you prefer.
Cheers

Bluetooth connections to mobile is too complicated, she would never use

Any ideas for a good solution appreciated folks.
Thanks
