Actually, it is now possible to sign up with only email. Not sure if it applies to all markets, but in the US you can.

Wow, they don't want people to spot that, do they :) I went to the signup page to verify before I posted my comment and completely missed the link, even though I was looking for it. I really appreciate them doing that - will check out their library today.

Edit: Or not. They seem to know my city better than me since my postcode is both required and invalid...

[parbo]

What's your city and postcode? I can forward it to the devs responsible for the signup page.

[viraptor]

Any postcode with letters fails apparently. This doesn't work for UK where letters are in all postcodes. "1" got accepted though.

At the top of the page:

"You need a Facebook account to register for Spotify"

At the bottom of the page:

"or

Create an account using my e-mail address"

Awesome design there!

Awesome design there!

I think you meant that sarcastically, but it actually is good design from Spotify's point of view. They really want people to link their accounts to Facebook, but don't want to lose the potential users who steadfastly refuse to do so. Tailoring the language and design to encourage the desired choice is smart, even if it might not be quite right grammatically.

[praptak]

Grammatically? Being delibetately misleading is not quite right ethically.

Sweet. Thanks for pointing this out. I refused to try Spotify because of the FB requirement.

Weird, I'm in the US and I don't see the email option anywhere on the signup page. Too bad.
