After a long crescendo of promises and speculation, Spotify has launched in the United States at last.
The music-streaming service allows users to stream what it says are "millions" of songs both from their computers and from mobile devices. Spotify relies heavily upon playlists, which users can create as soon as they boot up the service. Users can search through the company's tracks and simply drag and drop songs to a given list. The service also allows people to import MP3s to bolster the music player's offering. Once the playlists are created, they can be accessed from anywhere a user loads Spotify.
Spotify offers a free, ad-supported service for those who want to listen to tracks on their computers. Users can also sign up for the company's $4.99 per month unlimited plan, which allows them to stream "millions of tracks" with no time limits and no ads. The company's $9.99 per month premium plan includes all the same features, but adds the ability to listen without a Web connection and on mobile devices. Premium also boasts enhanced sound quality.

Anyone with invites sitting around? <- importune at the gmail dot the com.

I'll allow you to use my body as a host for your baby. That pretty much means the whole baby making process. Its a fair trade.

EDIT: Unless, of course, I misunderstood their invitation system. /fail.

Wasn't really worth getting the invite. You can listen to 'endless' music on your computer but when it comes to listening on a Mobile device, you need to pay the $10/month. They could at least allow a maximum of Mobile playing to get people interested in paying. Hmm...

Yes that's how it is in the picture I posted. Those are the plans that are available.

Spotify is great, but I won't pay $10 a month for it.

I was a little disappointed when I got the invite, then come to find out you have to pay 10 bucks a month. It is nice on the computer, but I was hoping for more. It does more than Pandora, but Pandora is FREE.
