Spotify Coming to US in Q3 2010


By

The long awaited lunch of  Spotify the virtual digital jukebox  is finally coming to the US. Spotify is a proprietary peer-to-peer music streaming service which allows instant listening to specific music tracks or albums, with virtually no buffering delay.

Music can be browsed by artist, album, record label or by created playlists as well as by direct searches. When it enters the US in Q3 of 2010 Spotify would be in direct competition with online music services such as MOG and Rhapsody.

It currently has approximately 7 million users in Europe and has only been available to IP addresses assigned to providers in Sweden, Spain, Norway, Finland, France and the United Kingdom. If you’ve been patiently awaiting its launch in the US theres not long left for you to wait.

    Unless, of course, you’ve been using it for the past 8 months here in the US through various proxy servers, etc.

    It’s a great service for sure.

    It’s been awesome. I too have been lucky enough to benefit from it’s awesomeness in the US.

    Just had to use the proxy server (tor) to initially set it up and test it for a while (having to re-login with a UK IP every 14 days). After a month, I’ve not not found a song yet.

    I then setup a UK PayPal account to pay for the monthly subscription. I feel it’s totally worth it! Normally I’d not pay for a music service, as you can never truly pick your songs. 🙁 But this service is the best. It really eliminates the need to buy music, media ever again. Just pay the monthly subscription fee and you have whatever you want, wherever!
