Where on the homepage? If there's a non-Facebook way to create an account, it's now well hidden.

Go to spotify.com and click on Sign up in the top right hand corner of the page.

On that page there should be a link under the big facebook F: "create an account using your e-mail address"

You may need to log out of Facebook if you're logged in.

There's no such alternative link for me. I don't know for sure if this is Spotify and Facebook tracking my identity, or if there's no non-FB option for Irish users: I'm logged in to FB on Win7 Chrome here, but I don't get a non-FB option when I try in an incognito window or when I switch to a different Windows user account on this machine, one which belongs to someone with no FB account.

I'm Irish, just signed up this morning using that link.

Here's a screenshot of what I see, I put a red box around the link: http://i.imgur.com/e7dKT.png

Edit: I would link you dorectly to the form but unless you click on it from the Spotify page it doesn't work.

I assume that Spotify and Facebook are doing some pretty energetic identity-tracking, then.

Hmmm... Yeah, that's some good tracking. If you want to PM me your email on reddit, same username, I'll set up the account for you.

Or if you can get to this page: https://www.spotify.com/ie/signup/plain/?promo=1

with a referrer of https://www.spotify.com/ie/signup/open/ it might work.
