DH won’t let me use his account

You sound whiny, frankly. “But I’ll still have to pay extra for a Duo account!” “But I’ll have to hear commercials if I use the free version!” “But I’ll be mildly inconvenienced!!! 😫😫😫”

The only answer you really want is “Yes, your husband is an old meany who should do what you want”.

We share a Spotify family account with my mother in law and nieces and nephews, however my kids use my log in for everything. Every Christmas my Spotify wrapped really disappoints me 😂 I can get why he doesn't want to share. If I had a choice, I wouldn't!

You sound like such a pain. Obviously he likes to see his Wrapped every year, the fact that you don’t ’understand it’ is irrelevant. You can easily add the duo or family options but if you’re not willing to pay any extra just use the free option.

Just click on his profile and invite yourself to duo. It's only £5 more.

I've shared my Disney and netflix and prime and all those cause you can make separate profiles. I'm not sharing my Spotify. I'd rather pay for the family one so my partner can get their own profile. I really enjoy the playsits they make for me and their reccomendations. Also if it is a 30min day getting ready music then YouTube playlists are good or you can listen to their music.

I voted YANBU but that’s just my perspective. I have a Spotify premium account that my DS, My DH and my DS’ girlfriend are all logged into 🤣 They all also share my Amazon Prime and my Netflix. But then I don’t care about things like Spotify wrapped (I’ve never even looked at it, but my DS does since he uses it more than anyone) I do understand your husbands stance, I just don’t agree with it-why pay extra when you can just share

I know this is in America, which seems to have lax car safety rules, at least in parts, but why the hell is your problem sharing his Spotify account and not the bit where he’s operating a (no doubt enormous) vehicle while messing around inputting numbers into a tiny screen?!

I’d genuinely throw my DH phone out the car window if he was putting us and other road users at risk in that way, sod enabling him to do it. Either he gives you the code to his phone, you get a Spotify account yourself and plug your phone in or you just drive in peace and quiet. But for stop risking actual lives for the sake of choosing music in the car.

I'm with you OP we just share one account. And actually move around account for the best offers. I don't care about Spotify wrapped.

I've never paid for Spotify. I mainly use it for gym sessions when I want to do a spin class on my own, so only need it once a day, maybe twice a week.

every so often you get 30 mins ad free, which is nice. All the podcasts I listen to are free.

if you're strapped for cash and can't pay a tenner a month, then just do what I do, use it free.

It doesn’t matter what he uses or doesn’t use, he’ll pay an extra couple of quid and be happy that his music isn’t messed up by yours, you will be able to listen to Spotify at the same time (you can’t if you’re sharing a login)

just agree and he can change his membership to Duo. It’s a couple of quid a month, a lot less than a full membership and is exactly how the membership is supposed to work. You’re not supposed to share logins

Nope, no way would Dh or I be happy with the other using our Spotify accounts. We have 3 accounts, one for each of us and one for dd, for exactly this reason. I think it’s a weird thing to share, especially when the cost is minimal and it’s a luxury service anyway. You don’t need it, but if you want it, you have to pay for your own account.

Sharing an account is so annoying. I share with my daughter and therefore my suggestions are so messed up (it keeps putting Disney songs in my pop playlists now!)

Use the free account there's really not a lot of ads...

I dint think it’s that rare tbh.

But there is an attitude re ‘his’ money & ‘my’ money you dint find everywhere.

My DH's Spotify account is sacred to him.

I'm more lax about mine but I do think I've found my playlists more personal over the years.

I'm not sure I'd want anyone rooting through them and wondering why my taste was so shit or random!!

We have a family account - I think it even has 6 spots on it.

I get why you might want to slim down unnecessary expense, OP, but
is not a particular hill I'd die on.

So when you said, "DH pays for a Spotify subscription" you actually meant "We pay for a subscription for DH". You implied separate finances in the wording of the post. In that case just pay for a second one or a duo from the same joint account and stop being so tight-fisted about it.

Yes, it’s only a few dollars a month, but such subscriptions add up! A streaming service here, a storage app there… etc etc

You're trying to save a few dollars on a subscription service that it appears you would both value. Go look at the other subs to find the ones you don't value to find the savings.

Well that’s ‘the’ cost of having a free account….
You can’t have it both ways

Oh using mine drives me insane! His music taste is utterly shite and it messes with my playlists and my recommendations!

So it comes down to, OP wants the paid for version, but not enough to pay for it. But expects her DH who wants it enough to pay for it to give her it for free.

we have a family account and all of us live comparing our wrapped! We have very different taste in music.
