In the U.S. you have to connect through Facebook which I don't really use, but I cannot logon to Spotify. It tells me my firewall may be blocking it (I turned it off, didn't help) or I have to manually add my proxy settings (it's already set to "auto"). Is anyone else having trouble getting on? I'm ready to give up on it.

I've got the program downloaded here in the UK. and had no problem, I mentioned spotify to the forum once and a lot of guys in the US had problems. Apparentely for some bizarre reason they had to be introduced by another member, which at the time totally mystified me and maybe that's how it still works.
You're probably better waiting for a US member to come in on this one, they could perhaps fill you in on more details. It is an odd program. :roll:

Won't start again. I guess I'll have to be satisfied with Pandora and eMusic.

I have Spotify -- and Facebook -- and the player works great. Spotify is a Facebook app and you need a FB account in order for it to work properly. My suggestion would be to create a FB account, for the sole purpose of using Spotify, if you really want to use that service. You don't have to use FB for anything other than to support the app.

I used to use it, but stopped when they started introducing limits.

I have a facebook account for entering contests and things like that, but I have not "friended" anyone. When did friend become a verb?!

If I have time tonight I'm just going to remove the program, icons, etc. Maybe I'll dump facebook, too. The first time I logged on it had about 12 people I knew - family, friends, even business associates. Not sure how it makes the connections, but it's real creepy to me.

Thanks for everyone's input.
