I'm busy shutting down a throwaway FB account that I used to sign up to Spotify back in the day.
They don't make it easy.
The process, according to Spotify support, is:
+ Create a new Spotify account
+ Contact Spotify support to migrate playlists etc. across.
+ Cancel my paid subscription on the old account.
+ Create a new paid subscription on the new account.
+ Migrate my family members onto the new account.
This is reminiscent of Microsoft's strategies back in the 90s, to make it incredibly difficult to ship a PC w/o DOS (and later, Windows).
- jbigelow76 9y agoWas there a time, and if so was this throwaway FB account part of it, when you could only sign up to Spotify with a FB account? I was a paying member of Spotify for about two years and my account wasn't tied to FB but Spotify had already been around for a few years prior.

- duncan_bayne 9y agoI'm unsure - I think there was, based on forum chatter. Certainly if there was another way to sign up when I did, I was unaware of it.

Yes from the early beta Spotify had it's own account system, then it switched to all new accounts must be FB but legacy accounts could still sign in. This was a while ago though around the time I stopped using it.
