[All Platforms][Other] Change profile URL of old accounts

I really appreciate Spotify allowing you to change your display name.

I get that the username is used as ID, so this is a good solution if it weren't for one thing: The URL of your profile.

 

If you created an account before your username started being random letters and numbers, it will continue to show your username.

So if you were to change your display name to be something else, whatever you named yourself might show up on playlists and what not, but the old username will continue to follow you in the URL.

And I get you can't simply change the URLs to be the same as the display name, since from what I've seen, you can have identical display names, and that would get messy.

 

So I think it would only be fair that if on request, your URL can be changed to something else.

Maybe put a limit on it, so it can't be done frequently.

I think that would just be great for everyone who feels like completely getting rid of old names they're embarrassed of and what not.

**bleep**, I would be fine even if the URL just followed the same random number and letter formula.

Just give us the option to do it at least.

It would just be helpful and make the whole name changing thing as good as it can be.

HORRIBBLE NO-Customer Service.  Why cant users change our own UserName once we're verified.....  2) SPOT appears too greedy... profits increased EACH of LAST 5 yrs.... & pay the ARTISTS MUCH morel !!

Yeah I'm tired of having my real name as my Spotify account name. I don't feel comfortable sharing public playlists. Please implement this and don't strike it down cause "there wasn't enough votes"...if I read that one more time LOL

please implement this!!! this is so important for privacy as well, as ppl with the non-generated usernames could be identified online with it.

This.  I created my username a while ago, and I'm now trying to escape it.

 

It's still more desirable than a randomly generated username.

I agree with this idea.

created my account with facebook, annoying that my user are a bunch of numbers. What if I want to share my profile? I can't remember that string.
