HomeTutorials and GuidesHow to set alarms on your smartphone using Spotify music

I'm trying to set up an alarm clock to play some music to wake up to. I came across a thread that had some people using VBScript to do it, however I don't think those methods work anymore since everything I tried it did not work.

Thanks to a new feature in Google's Android Clock app, you are now able to link your Spotify (Free at Apple.com) account—premium or ad-supported—and use your music as an alarm.

Finding the perfect alarm for your smartphone can be a lot harder than you might think. With the enormous number of choices available, it can even be a little overwhelming. Plus, it’s hard to find a sound that’s pleasing enough to wake up to, but still gets the job done. If you’re the type of person who prefers to wake up with your own music, SpotOn just might be what you’re looking for: an alarm clock that uses the music from Spotify that you choose as an alarm. And we’ll show you just how easy it is to set it up.

Wake up with your favorite songs on Spotify

SpotOn isn’t much different from any alarm app you’ve already seen on Android. Its interface is simple and anyone who’s used to the alarm clock system on Android will find it effortless to get started. To set you alarm, you have to sign in to your Premium Spotify account and then just open the “Wake” tab and tap the first alarm you see.

The new screen that appears is where you get down to the real nitty gritty. When you tap on the time, you can set the exact time you want your alarm to sound, but the real magic happens when you tap the big green button you see: when you tap this button, you’ll have access to your Spotify account where you can select the music that will help you open your eyes in the morning.

You can choose from two different musical options: a playlist (or album) or a specific song. If you select the first option, you’ll hear a chosen playlist that you like, while the the song alarm will only last as long as the song you choose. The search feature isn’t quite as good as the official Spotify app, and you’ll have to type out the name of the song if you can’t find it by searching only for the name of the artist you want.

After choosing the music that will sound when your alarm goes off, you’ll have to decide if you want the songs to be shuffled (if you picked a playlist or album) and if you want a fade in effect. You also have more general options like making your smartphone vibrate or not, to show notifications, or for the music to play on another device you have connected through Spotify Connect. Then, all that’s left to do is decide what days of the week you want the alarm to sound and if you want to label it. When you add an alarm, you’ll see the basic info in the main column and you can repeat the same process if you want to create more alarms.

Fall asleep with Spotify music

What’s interesting about SpotOn is that it also has another feature for you to use: the possibility to listen to your music on Spotify for a determined amount of time as you’re falling asleep. The options here are somewhat more basic, since you can only choose from your playlists or ready-made ones from Spotify as you fall asleep. After making your selection, you just have to choose how long the music will play, although the max is 60 minutes. It’s a good option for anyone who falls asleep better with relaxing music playing.

WAKING UP EARLY is probably one of the hardest things we have to do on a daily basis. Sometimes it can be tough to get out of bed, and on days like that, we need all the help we can get.

If your struggles are down to motivation, something that might help is the option to change your alarm sound from the standard beeping into something better like music or your favourite playlist.

There’s one main way to do that for iOS and Android, but if you have music saved on your iPhone (you do remember how to do that, right?), that’s another method you can take.

To do this, go into your clock app and either create a new time or edit one. When the settings come up, tap on sounds near the bottom and scroll up to the top. You will see a section called Songs where the option to choose one is there.

That’s the normal method. The other way is to wake up to your favourite music streaming service through a specialised app. If you’re a Spotify user, then something like Alarmify or NightStand Central will allow you to choose a playlist and start playing it when your alarm goes off.

If you’re an Android user, then some alarms will support custom music, others like the standard Android Clock app won’t so it’s really a matter of what version you’re using.

Similar to iOS, Android also has a number of apps which offer the same music streaming functionality. Apps like Gentle Alarm (€2.45, dated but still useful) and Alarm Clock Xtreme and Timer (€1.50) offer this as well as many other features that make either well worth the purchasing price.

Obviously the choice of music is up to you, but it’s better if you keep it varied and upbeat so it doesn’t get repetitive or depressing. Playing the likes of Morrissey will probably make you want to stay in bed for longer instead of getting you out of it.
