How to Download Spotify Songs & Change Username

Spotify is one of the leading music streaming platforms in the world, providing access to millions of songs, playlists, and podcasts. Whether you’re a new user or a Spotify veteran, knowing how to effectively use the platform can significantly enhance your experience. This article will guide you through two essential aspects: how to download Spotify songs on your MacBook and how to change your Spotify username.

How to Download Spotify Songs on MacBook

Listening to music offline is a fantastic feature for those times when you don’t have internet access. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to download Spotify songs on your MacBook:

Step 1: Install Spotify

Before you can download songs, you’ll need to have the Spotify app installed on your MacBook. You can download it from the official Spotify website.

Step 2: Log In to Your Account

Once the app is installed, open Spotify and log in to your account. If you don’t have an account yet, you can easily create one.

Step 3: Choose Your Subscription

Downloading songs for offline listening requires a Spotify Premium subscription. If you’re on the free plan, you’ll need to upgrade to Spotify Premium. You can upgrade within the app or on the Spotify website.

Step 4: Select Your Playlist or Album

Navigate to the playlist or album you want to download. You can do this by searching for the music or browsing your library.

Step 5: Download Music

Once you’ve selected your desired playlist or album, you’ll see a toggle switch labeled "Download" at the top of the playlist or album page. Turn this switch on, and Spotify will start downloading the songs to your MacBook. A green arrow will appear next to each song when it's downloaded.

How to Change Username on Spotify

Your Spotify username is a unique identifier on the platform. However, many users might want to change it for various reasons. Unfortunately, Spotify does not currently allow users to change their usernames directly. However, there are workarounds to personalize your display name and link your account to Facebook to alter how your profile is presented.

Using a Display Name

Although you can't change your username, you can update your display name, which is what most people will see.

Step 1: Open Spotify

Launch the Spotify app on your MacBook.

Step 2: Go to Your Profile

Click on your profile name or picture in the top-right corner to go to your profile page.

Step 3: Edit Profile

Click on the "Edit Profile" button. Here, you can update your display name and other profile information. Once you've made your changes, click "Save."

Connecting to Facebook

If you want your Spotify profile to reflect your Facebook name, you can link your Spotify account to your Facebook account.

Step 1: Open Settings

Open Spotify and click on the down arrow next to your profile name in the top right corner. Go to "Settings."

Step 2: Connect to Facebook

In the "Social" section, you’ll see an option to connect to Facebook. Click on this and log in to your Facebook account. Your display name on Spotify will now match your Facebook name.
