Or I can simply pay for basically any other service that does the same job without facebook (even though I have an old account), without social features, without a shitty client that drains computer resources in mysterious ways.

But finally, an app that doesn't require me to share my pictures with them. That was the spike in the coffin for me. I really enjoyed Spotify when it was new, but their clients has just been lowering in quality ever since beta.

Honestly, I think the beta client was way better than the client today.

As a response to a post only stating that you don't need to use their client? Seriously?

Also, what has facebook to do with anything?

I wonder if this is in regard to the fact that for a while, some time ago, Spotify required the use of a Facebook-integrated login. They no longer do, but people who signed up during that time would need to go through a conversion process to have a non-Facebook login.
