Spotify doesn't require you to create an account to hear a song from what I recall, so why wouldn't someone send you a link? That's what the web is for.

That said once you have heard it on Spotify, yeah you might want it on your service provider of choice so as to add it to whatever equivalent of playlists there are.

You can just try any link in incognito mode to find out that is not true. Spotify is a walled garden

The previous comment was already absurdly america-centric. But with this response, the cake is taken. I have never been sent a spotify link, nor do people really over here, because you need an account.

Isn't your comment also America centric? Spotify is huge in more countries than the US.

If you meant me, I live in New Zealand funnily enough.

sorry, it's been so long since I didn't have an account so I went and checked and I guess I was wrong they do require you to create a free account to hear the link you've been sent.

You'd think my comment assuming you didn't need an account was already absurdly wrong but with your response the cake was taken, because I'm not from America either.
