Stupid rule of only one instance of one account in use at same time!

This is really doing my head in now. We stream Spotify playlists in our office at work Mon-Fri through the week. It's via my account. Yet when my partner at home turns on a home PC, Spotify auto starts up and cuts off our streaming in the office.

What's the big deal, why can't my partner just share my account, it's stupid us all having to get individual accounts for each member of the family.

Reverting back to Last.fm scrobbling reluctantly now for office streaming!
