Following users not on Facebook

oscar_luis — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:33:52 GMT

How can I search for and follow Spotify users that are not on Facebook? Not everyone has a Facebook account. It would be a shame if this is not possible.

Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂

Yes, you can search and find people by searching for:

spotify:user:USERNAME

with USERNAME replaced with the persons Spotify username. Once you have found their profile, you can follow them just like Facebook friends.

trying this in the search field and i can not find a new user. is there a delay in this user list updating? is it allowed to search from moble or do i need to be on the desktop app? Thanks in advance for your prompt responce.

*I even tried your user name {Spotify:user:hammeh} and it comes back with 0 results

Searching under "follow" or under the general Search on the desktop app yield no results. screen captures attached #WhatAmIDoingWrong.JPG

spotify needs to have a lower case "s". 😉

Hey,

I am trying to search for someone but can't make anythign to appear.

Do you have to be a premium memeber to search for someone?

I've entered - spotify:user:colettelynch1

but nothing is showing up
