LOL@spotty face!

 

We can't take the credit for that - the image was knocked up by Gareth Halfacree on our sister site, Expert Reviews. Glad you like it, though!

 

TBH I'm perfectly happy with the current level of integration.

 

Please link more and more stuff to fatzebook so that it's not needed anymore to go anywhere else, if we want to get any information possible about you and your likes/dislikes/etc with a single click.

God I hate those so called social networks that are nothing else then data-mines actually, preparing for 1984 to become true.

 

what's a cree and where can i get a whole one?

i too am loving the pic tho, give the man a cheesecake

 

Just what we need in our lives, more Facebook integration in everything :/

Doesn't affect me anyway since I stopped using Spotify after their changes to free accounts.

 

I'm a spotify premium user, couldn't care much less about it really, unless there are some new features that really stand out coming along... I'm fine with the spotify inbox for now but I can see how this would encourage more users to sign up and how its a good business venture for spotify at least

 

You would think they might add this feature to the main spotify program first >_<

I'm another person who's given up on Spotify due to the changes. This will be a great opportunity for them to get increased coverage and targeting for advertisers, however there isn't too much benefit to the consumer from all this. More ads on facebook woop!

 

I've stopped using Spotify since the introduction of the 5 play cap, and don't care enough about music to pay for it.

 

Spotify Premium is awesome, well worth the money. Sod Facebook though, I won't be using the integrated service.

 

Spotify = cool, but would be much better if they had more film/game soundtracks.

 

I love Spotify*, though not enough to pay for it. I do love music enough to pay for it... on CD! Mine forever, and in high-quality, rippable form.

* well, I did, until they ruined the free service with that ridiculous 5-play limit!

 

Did people honestly expect Spotify to stay the way it was forever? It obviously wasn't going to as it just wasn't financially viable. If you want to listen to music legally, you're going to have to pay for it in some way.

 

@InfernoZeus
It wasn't free. The adverts were paying for it. Radio manages to function like that, so there is no reason why Spotify had to change.
