Hi,

 

Have you tried deleting your browsers cookies/cache? Or an entirely different browser?

What happens if you just click sign up ignoring the already taken error message?

Make sure you don't put things in your username that are not allowed, there are some limitations (like length, characters etc.)

You could always sign up with Facebook if you have fb.

Hey 🙂 

 

It sounds like something might have gone wrong during the registration process, if you get an error message saying your email address is already in use, just email the team here and they will be able to manually complete the registration process for you.

I did notice this bug on the new sign up page (the one that looks like a login box).

 

Try using this instead: http://www.spotify.com/signup/open/

For everyone having problems, what browser are you using?

 

If there's any unregistered users that can't register, try the sign up link on the above post. Log out of Facebook first if you want a separate account, it's pushing FB logins hard.

what is even the point of having a username you use spotify for music and stuff.not wit 2 hours to find a username
