Spotify (US) is Here

So the deals are done and Spotify has finally launched in the U.S. after 2 years' worth of false starts. Spotify's launch in the US is undoubtedly big news, but unless you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you've likely already heard about it. Most of us have been keeping an eye on the service since it lunched in Europe nearly 2 years ago. In fact, here at Pollack Media Group, we've been using the UK version of Spotify since 2009.

You can sign up today for the premium plan and start listening immediately, or submit your email address to get on the list to receive an invite to use the free service. The various price points offer various options, ranging from mobile access and offline playlist access with the highest ($9.99/month) option, down to simple streaming and playlists with the free option. Considering that the service offers almost every song (some content is still DRM protected) you'd ever want to listen to, it's impressive no matter which option you choose.
