Well, it's true that option's only permitted by the EULA for us non-Facebook users. But aren't those the only people it has to work for? If you currently use Facebook then presumably you've already decided to not be particularly worried about your privacy, and Spotify seems like an odd place to try to draw a line in the sand.

That's not necessarily true, you can abide the terms and create a real account with real information, but close your wall, etc, making it essentially a profile with your real name and profile picture.

That wasn't my point though. I get annoyed when I see these non-solutions being offered. Of course, barely anyone will mind the linking of their FB account. Those people who don't, have no obvious way out (sign up for a second email address to sign up for a second facebook account to sign up for spotify). To suggest otherwise is a bit insulting. The answer should have been: "We're sorry, this is just how it will be from now on."

Gotcha gotcha. I couldn't agree more.
