Spotify is now available in the US

[Casey]

As a long-time fan and premium subscriber, figured I'd let y'all know.

Enjoy. It's been a long time coming for y'all.

its in a beta phase over there and is invite only. i guess we could send invites to US users, if it allows us to...

I requested an invite a few days ago, I guess it's just a waiting game now.

Apparently Motorola is giving away invites:

I could use a proxy to sign up as if I live in the UK and then edit my profile to say that I'm in the US but it doesn't matter to me that much.

I don't use Spotify. I have all the music I like. If I stumble upon new music I use Youtube, and then I get the album and stick it on my server. Granted I only have 6000 albums. But I only listen to a few songs, so probably have too many.

It's gonna kill data plans.

got the invite today.

Not that I use Spotify. But I believe if you have a pro account you can download the music in 320 kbps to do with as you wish. Which will stop you from eating up all your mobile bandwidth.

I don't see how it's too different from Grooveshark.

If anyone needs invites, I registered using several emails. They're all rolling in now but I don't need them. I can send you the link.

So, Spotify disappoints me. Since I started using Spotify, there have been two instances where I realized that I don't have a particular album in my iTunes library that I really want to listen to. First off, it was Masta Ace's A Long Hot Summer. Then, today, it was Jeezy's Recession. Both of these albums are not on Spotify. Unacceptable.
