Instant music streaming platforms like Spotify have made it easy for people to discover and access music on the web. Gone are the days when music was downloaded, curated and pushed onto MP3s and phones. Now, with a tap of a finger, huge music libraries can be accessed and listened without any hassle.

Spotify is the leading music streaming service in the world despite strong competitors like Apple Music and Amazon Music, according to Forbes. Listeners on Spotify get to create playlists that showcase their personality and share that with their followers. And if the name associated with your Spotify is not up to your liking, it defeats the purpose of a Spotify account.
