What do you mean that Spotify requires Facebook login, I don't have a fb account and are using it just fine.

E: Missed the past tense. I just checked, you can sign up with your email address.

It used to. In fact Spotify shared the same auth database with Facebook (not oAuth, the literal same password - change it in FB, it changed in Spotify and vice versa)

Started doing FB only login in Sep 2011, but if you already had an email login you could keep it. Lasted for about a year then it was dropped.
