I already did this with the help of their customer support two years ago.

#92I already unlinked my Spotfiy account from Facebook with this way: https://robblewis.me/convert-spotify-facebook-to-email-login... No account migration of contacting support is needed. Just use your registered email account to reset (or in this case actually set) your account password and afterwards you can log in via your email+pw. Then in the Spotify preferences the button to disconnect Facebook becomes available.
Thank you so much for this.

#93Obviously if you are getting rid of Facebook you would need to stop using Facebook to login to other things, but for people who are not getting rid of Facebook itself what are the security and privacy risks of using it for login for other services such as Spotify? Does a Facebook breach let the attackers get into your Spotify account? Does it leak the existence of your Spotify account? Is there personal information f…
> Does a Facebook breach let the attackers get into your Spotify account?
It would be a security breach that resulted in that (access tokens compromised), rather than the oft-reported privacy breaches (profile data compromised), but yes. The recent security breach involving access tokens would not apply here, for example, because they were access tokens for Facebook, not for linked apps.
> Does it leak the existence of your Spotify account?
Yes, see https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications and search for Spotify.
> Is there personal information from your Spotify account that can be gotten via a Facebook breach?
If Facebook issued an invalid access token that authorized an attacker to use your Spotify account, they would be able to see anything you can see in your Spotify account. If your profile data was leaked, anything Spotify published to your Facebook profile might be accessible.
"Spotify" is a stand-in for any SSO app, and "Facebook" is a stand-in for any SSO provider, of course. There's nothing special about Spotify and Facebook here, it might as easily be FarmVille and Google.

#94Did the OP actually try the support option? It took me less than a painless 10 minutes over chat with support (and most of that was me asking if the discover weekly model they had created for me would be ported over too, which seemed to have been highly tuned lately. The support person could not say and probably didn’t know what I was asking about)
OP here, haven't tried yet but I think my point stands that this is something enough users want to make it a proper feature rather than a "workaround". Might be wrong, though.

#95OP here, instead of replying to individual comments I'll sum it up here. As the post states I am aware of the "contact support" workaround. I haven't tried it yet but I think my point stands that this is something enough users want to make it a proper feature. Even if right now it only takes a 10 minute call to Support. Might be wrong, though.

#96Spotify has some really strange "won't fix" issues... I'm on a Spotify family plan. I recently bought a Spotify gift card on sale, because you can usually apply those for a credit on subscription services. Well, it turns out unlike the rest of their plans, Spotify Family doesn't support gift cards. I didn't even consider that it might not apply to all plans, and didn't check the fine print. Disappointed, I contacted…
Yeah, there is also the thing where they don't allow you to change your address when you are on family [0].

#97Hello everyone. I have used MAVERICKS78@PROTONMAIL.CH quite a number of times and they have never disappointed me. I got virtually every information my Spouse has been hiding over the months easily on my own phone. The spy app diverted all his whatsApp, Facebook,call tracking, text messages, sent and received through the phone: I also got his phone calls and deleted messages. he could not believe his eyes when he saw the evidence because he had no idea he was hacked. they do all types of mobile hacks and computer hacks. You get unrestricted and unnoticeable access to your partner/spouse/anybody's social account, email etc. Getting the job done is as simple as sending an email to MAVERICKS78 @ PROTONMAIL.CH stating what you want to do. Thank me later.

Spotify still has a limit of 10.000 saved items. An album with 10 songs counts for 11 (10 song entries and 1 album entry). Meanwhile you can create 10.000 playlists with 10.000 songs no problem. So the saved items is obviously a very crappy (database?) design and they still refuse to fix it.
Very glad I have Apple Music now...

#99Spotify gave up on caring about their users a few years ago, I think. I uninstalled after the app forced the "DJ fade in / fade out" between every track -- including between movements of Beethoven's symphonies. (No, the toggle to turn that off never worked for me. No, they never replied to my attempts to let them know how awful it was.) (No, I'll never go back to their service.)
Gapless playback without crossfades was a must-have feature for me and was one of the reasons I migrated to Spotify. It continues to work for me on both Mac OS and iOS.
Never could get it to work on Samsung, Apple 7, or Pixel.

#100Trying to click through to this piece from HN on Facebook tells me this link is malicious. Sour grapes on FB’s part?
Not at all. It's my personal blog, has very low traffic, it's only a basic HTML+CSS page, probably hits a few spam rules here and there.
