A lot of music was removed. They added really bad limits, like a limit on how many hours you could listen every month. They forced you to create Facebook accounts to register, which means I had to create tons of Facebook accounts to overcome the hours/month limit. And some other things I don't remember.

My experience disagrees. There were 3 albums I used to yearn for and they have all of them. Nothing I've ever tried listening to is missing or has gone missing. I listen probably about 8 hours a day on average and have never hit a limit. I also didn't have to register a Facebook account.

It sounds like you're not a paying customer and go to great efforts to remain a non-paying customer. I'm not sure why they should be prioritizing your use case.

Citations please.

Just wrong.

> They forced you to create Facebook accounts to register

Also completely wrong.

> which means I had to create tons of Facebook accounts to overcome the hours/month limit.

This is also wrong because the previous two statements were also wrong.

> And some other things I don't remember.

And some things you flat out don't understand. Please avoid commenting on stories like this and spreading false information. It does no good.

They removed those limits years ago. But they were added just when they launched in the US.

"Meanwhile a new free version called Spotify Open allows Europeans who had not been invited to sign up for free accounts in the past to join without being invited – however, they can only stream up to 20 hours of free music per month, with advertisements."

This is what the client looked like when you were out of hours: https://spotify.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1... (notice the bar at the top right. dakika = hours I suppose. I can't find a better screenshot)

Facebook required: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/facebook-login-required-for-spo...

"Unfortunately you will need a Facebook account to access Spotify from now on, unless you already have an account set up"

So please just because you weren't there to see it don't say it's a lie

Can't say much about music being removed. I don't remember what they removed and don't have any citations. But I remember it happening.

It sounds like your complaints basically boil down to terms being changed for new accounts. And you don't sound like a paying customer. If I were a betting man, I would bet that you would probably be dissatisfied with literally anything that wasn't just giving you free music on whatever terms you'd like.

This isn't true. I use spotify and I don't even have facebook, and I don't have any limits
