I have some friends who are not on facebook but who have premium spotify accounts.
Is there way to add them to my friends toolbar?
Thanks!

Yes. Here are a couple of ways to view a Spotify user’s public profile:
Once you are viewing a user’s public profile you can add the user to your People list by clicking the “Add ..” button at the top of the page.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip, it worked!
When I add a person to my people list, are they notified? Am I automatically added to their people list? Can other spotify users see my people list?
Hi there echoecho!
Your people list is for your own use only--your friends aren't notified and you aren't automatically added to their list.
Your Spotify profile will only display your Top Artists and Top Tracks (you can opt out of this in your Preferences) and your published playlists.
How do you add someone as a friend on spotify that doesnt have a facebook when u signed up with a facebook??? plz help!!
It's easy for you. Type spotify:user:username (with your friend's username) on the search bar to find your friend. At the top it should say "Make it easier to access username's music by adding them to your people list" with a button to add them.
However, it's a bit harder for your friend to add you. You need to give your "username" which is a string of numbers to your friend. Then your friend does the same as you, using your user number. You can find your number from your profile page: click here
Thx!
This trick doesnt work for me... I keep getting an error that says "load user error". I'm sure I have the username right..... why is adding a friend not point-and-click???
With the user ID it still works, like: spotify:user:1123007059
This is the 4th time (everytime) that I have had trouble finding a friend, searching by just name, or by spotify:user:username (with user name) just doesnt work. I don't understand why this happens everytime. I know I have gone into my profile and changed my ID number to a name, and used the friends computer and searched for myself, and nothing. WTF.
It's not possible to change your username. You must have done something else.
Your username will always be a bunch of numbers in that account and the only way to change it is to make a new account and NOT go through Facebook (choose create an account using your email address).
This does not seem to work anymore. 😞 I recently quit fb, but I have an old spotify account. i used to be able to add friends before while not connected, and now it seems impossible. any ideas?
thanks for your quick response. i had to restart spotify a few times to get it to work.
Hi, I'm experiencing the same problems.
If I enter spotify:user;(username) in the search bar I get a pinkish banner across the top stating 'Load user error'.
I can see my friends top tracks and any published playlists but I don't have the option to add them.
I don't have a facebook account.
When you see the playlist, open any playlist. Then, on the playlist window, click their name again.
I'm also sometimes seeing this problem, opening any playlist from the user you want to view fixes it for me.
Thanks for your help Stupify.
I'd read that could help in anpther forum but this still doesn't solve the problem for me.
They stil appear as Unknown User and I get the Load user error across the top.
Do other friends need to be Premium accounts for me to add or should I be able to add anyone?
