Spotify coming to the U.S.

by Megan Lavey-Heaton Jul 6th 2011 at 12:32PM

Spotify, the streaming music service that is well-known in Europe, is finally coming to the U.S. There's no word on a time frame, but a signup page for Spotify invites is now available for U.S. residents.

We knew this was not far off as Spotify reportedly signed a deal with Sony back in January. But, we've constantly heard nothing but great things about the service and are eager to finally try it for ourselves.

I don't get Spotify...why is it so good? From my review it looks just like another Napster or maybe even Grooveshark. What is so great about it?

It's better than anything you have, or will ever see. Still amazes me that, for once, those of us on this side of the pond had it first!

Team it up with Sonos and you have the ultimate home and mobile solution. Out and about and hear something you like - use Soundhound to find out what it is and then search on Spotify and add to one of your playlists. When you get home, play it back through your home Sonos sound system. Offline mode gives you 30 days travelling with all of your playlists (including local files synced to your device).

+1 for Spotify and Sonos - it's a match made in heaven.

Is Spotify much different than Rdio?

Yeah, they were talking about a launch in Canada back in August of 2009. http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2009/08/26/spotify-stream-web-music.html

I believe nothing until I hear music.
