Apple has partnered with Amazon to launch support for Apple Podcasts on Amazon Echo devices. Starting today, Echo owners in the United States can ask Alexa to play any of the 800,000 shows in the Apple Podcasts directory.
The Benchmark Performance of the brand new Apple Silicon M1 Mac Mini is Amazing. But is the M1 Mac Mini good enough for Gaming? Can the Mac Mini M1 Play Fort. Alexa for Mac is always ready to play your favourite music, provide weather and news updates, answer questions, create lists, and much more. Alexa's brain is in the cloud, so she continually learns and adds more functionality over time. The more you use Alexa, the more she adapts to your speech patterns, vocabulary, and personal preferences.
To set up the integration, Echo customers must first link their Apple ID in the Alexa app. As well as asking Alexa to play a specific show, playback progress will automatically sync with all of your Apple Podcasts app across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac.
You can now say things like ‘Alexa, resume 9to5Mac Happy Hour on Apple Podcasts' and the Echo should start playing it with playback progress synced to your Apple ID. Apple Podcasts integration is available on the entire Echo family, from the cheap Echo Dot all the way up to the Echo Studio. On the same day, Spotify also announced podcasts integration with Alexa.
The usual slew of audio commands will also work, like ‘Alexa skip 30 seconds'. Amazon says it is rolling out in the US today with no word on international availability yet.
You can also set Apple Podcasts as the default podcast provider for Alexa. This means you won't need to explicitly include the words Apple Podcasts in your voice query. To set Apple Podcasts as the default podcast service, open the Alexa app and go to Settings -> Music & Podcasts -> Link/Manage New Services.
This partnership makes Amazon Echo the first third-party client for the Apple Podcasts service. Previously, the only smart speaker with Apple Podcasts integration was the HomePod. Rar expander mac os.
Earlier this year, Apple refreshed the web experience for its Podcasts directory amidst rumors that Apple is planning to publish original content podcasts as soon as next year, presumably as a premium subscription offering. Apple has already partnered with Echo on Apple Music integration and we saw the Apple TV app land on Amazon Fire TV ahead of the Apple TV+ launch.

The whole of Apple's Podcasts library is now available on Amazon Echo devices and can be played by asking Alexa for particular shows or episodes.
In a similar move to how Apple Musicbecame available on Amazon Echo earlier this year, now Podcasts have come too.
Once set up, users can simply ask Alexa to play a podcast, and then also have more specific controls such as pausing, or skipping back and forth through episodes.
It works with Amazon Echo or Amazon Fire TV, and requires the latest versions of both iOS and the Alexa app. Currently it also only works within the US.
In the Amazon Alexa app on iOS, users need to first add a skill called Apple Podcasts.
From then on, it will work and respond to requests to play shows such as the weekly AppleInsider podcast. However, each request has to include the words 'on Apple Podcasts'.

Use Alexa On Mac
To change that, users need to make Apple Podcasts be the default player. In the iOS Amazon Alexa app, a New Service has to be added under the Music & Podcasts, Services section.
When signed in with a US Apple ID, there is the option to Select Default Service and set it to Apple Podcasts.
