A self-hosted Alexa jukebox for purchased MP3s

It worked

Of course it worked!

It never ever doesn't work right?

I vibecoded my own Spotify that works with Amazon Alexa and plays all my own MP3 music files 😊

Claude Code calls it the 🎶 Jukebox

I put some coffee jazz MP3s (that I purchased) in an R2 bucket, made an Alexa skill in the Alexa Developer Console with help from Claude Code and now it plays it if I ask "Alexa, coffee jazz"

It wrote a package.json and index.js, then I saved and built it on the console. Then I had to manually add a Routine to Alexa so that "Alexa, coffee jazz" became "Alexa, ask the jukebox to play coffee jazz"

It also has Bossa Nova and Lofi and I can just drop music in whenever I want and it auto plays it

Spotify with Alexa was giving me really terrible recommendations of music and always the same and the only thing I used it for was this!

So I guess I can cancel Spotify now too 🙏
