Is there any ETA on when Spotify might become available in the US?


Just register using a European proxy. Once you download the app, you can listen all you want from a US IP. I'm doing it right now.

Edit: "a person can use a free, ad-supported Spotify account anywhere outside of their home country for 14 days."

The Spotify client does support proxying, so I'll be using my proxy server permanently after the 14 day limit, I guess. But if you pay them for the Unlimited or Premium plans, you don't have to worry about that.


I was under the impression you needed a credit card with a European address to register for their premium services. Anyone know otherwise?


It says they take PayPal, so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use that.


When enough people lobby their congressman for copyright reform. The RIAA simply have no interest in doing a deal with Spotify.
