Spotify

Trying to get Spotify on my Lumia 925.
When I downloaded the app, it tells me I can only use it if I have spotify premium. When I go to sign up to spotify and subscribe to premium through facebook, it tells me that it is not supported in the version of IE that's on my phone.

Anyone else have any trouble getting spotify on the nokia lumia 925.

Having a few issues with my lumia, I had hoped Nokia, and Microsoft would get their act together, the apps just seem to be shoddy versions of android/apple versions. I can see why people would go straight back to android/ios.

Don't use Spotify myself, but try Nokia mix radio.
I THINK its similar to Spotify but free, or else try hot music.

Simple answer: register via another device like a pc

My concern about doing that was that I pay to subscribe, but then I would be unable to login with my facebook as this is not supported on the windows phone app. and wouldn't be able to benefit from it on my phone which was what I wanted it for.
But then I found an unique username in spotify that will allow to login to your spotify for devices which don't support the login by facebook feature. It is a long number like a credit card no or something.
Thanks folks.

Complain to spotify. It won't be changed if you only mention it on this forum.

It would be great if more companies took WP8 seriously.

There's already a push for Spotify to bring the Ad-Supported (i.e. Free-ish) streaming to Windows Phone 8 - it's already on PC, iOS and Android.

It's on their 'Coming Soon-ish' List.

This new update will be available for Spotify Premium subscribers at the beginning. But the recently announced Spotify Free for mobile will also be arriving on Windows Phone – follow us on twitter to keep yourself up to date.
