I was just about to sign up for Spotify (was on the things to do today list I have in front of me), and now this. Well they can forget about that.


Hear hear. Unfortunately I /just/ paid for Spotify premium yesterday evening. While I have a grandfathered non-Facebook account, I've had no end of problems with their mobile client, and I think I'll be switching back to Rdio (which has a vastly superior [existent] web and mobile cilent, IMO.)

I wonder if this move is related to the problem I'm having using my login on the desktop client (error code 410, stuck in offline mode. Mobile app on the same wifi networks works fine.)


UGH. I'm having the same problem (stuck in offline mode), only it is with my android app...


Took me an hour trying to figure out how to hide spotify feed from showing up on my fb's wall. I couldnt. After I uninstalled the app (on fb setting's page) Spotify logged out automatically. What a shame! I m using Pandora now.


There's an option in your Spotify preferences to disable it.


Where is it? i dont see it.



Same. Switching to Spotify from Pandora was on my list of things to try.

Now, I guess not. I would have paid them, too.

This is absolutely ridiculously stupid of them to do. They alienate potential customers, but more importantly, they do not own their customers.

If the Facebook relationship goes sour, Spotify is still permanently tied to them.


I like the Spotify UI much better, but Grooveshark is pretty good too.


Check out mog and rdio.


MOG has been great for me too, and it's more web based


MOG has a solid free option, mog.com/m


I agree. Luckily, I already have a Spotify account, because I refuse to use Facebook.


Forget signing up, I was about to send them my resume for an opening that sounded interesting. Needless to say I won't bother.


Soon enough you can forget about using every website with that attitude.


I'm sure they will go bankrupt now because you decided not to sign up.
