Spotify as we know it today offers some basic social features, but it looks like the company\u2019s hard at work on fleshing those out even further.<\/p>\n<p>Back around the start of the year we first spotted work towards giving Spotify users a little more control over their in-app identify, with the app developing the ability to change your Spotify username.
