Last year there were some rumors about Spotify opening up their service in the USA. Now it looks like it is dragging out a bit. Mostly due to record companies over-there being skeptic over how Spotify is going to make enough money. Most of them demands that every tenth user of Spotify should be a premium customer. Being a premium customer is around 17 bucks a month. If you choose the free version, you get ads between songs. I am a premium user and don`t regret it at all, and I believe that there will be many more than 10 percent of the users as premium users in near future. Being a premium not only gives you ad-free environment, but greater speed, more functions and a better search engine tool as well.
Spotify is, as they say themselves, a new way to enjoy music. It`s online and the quality is very good, the speed is great. You can share songs between users with the help of HTML-links, which works very well with playlists too.
On these sites, Wired and The Venezian Journal you can check out more about ways around how to use Spotify in the USA. And if you need invites, I have some you can have. Just leave a comment under and I will mail you one.
