How To Find Someone on Spotify by Username

I have a love/hate relationship with Spotify. I love the product, but the execution? Ehhhh, not so much.

Listening to anything I’d ever want? Awesome. Finding new music via friends? Great. Actually loading the app correctly ever? Not a chance. And playlist capabilities? Don’t get me started.

And I guess in the world-according-to-Spotify, you don’t hardly exist if you don’t have a Facebook account. Have you ever tried finding a friend on Spotify who isn’t on Facebook? 

Exactly.

But, at least on this count, there’s a simple remedy. Ready?

Two Simple Steps for Finding Your Friends on Spotify

1. Ask your friend for their Spotify username.
2. In Spotify’s search bar, put the following:  spotify:user:username  (using your friend’s username in place of “username.”)

For example, to find me you’d enter it like this:  spotify:user:1amberb

Ta-da!

So what’s your relationship with Spotify? Were you fast friends? Never tried it?
