Spotify, the London based music streaming service, has officially made the move across the pond to the United States! Boasting free music available legally to all users, Spotify provides a plethora of available tracks and albums, all via licensing agreements with multiple record labels.
Started in 2006 in Stockholm, Sweden, Spotify has grown to a global force, with an estimated company worth of $1 billion. Initially Spotify accounts followed the Rhapsody model of music sharing, offering music for those who signed up and paid a monthly fee; now, however, Spotify offers multiple levels of membership including free and premium accounts.
Spotify allows you to not only listen to over 15 million tracks of music on your computer, but also allows you to create playlists and share them with friends, as well as link your Facebook account so that you can share your music tastes via the social networking website. A radio option, akin to Pandora (another great internet based music application), is also available to Spotify users, and is excellent in pairing artists to help listeners discover new bands within a particular genre.
Streaming to your favorite smartphone is another great feature that Spotify currently is offering for a multitude of devices, including the Apple iPhone and iPod, as well as the Android, and allows users to keep their stored music to a minimum, freeing up valuable memory.
With an estimated 10,000 tracks of music being added to their library daily, Spotify is definitely a must have for any music lover! Whether in your home or travelling the world, the application provides amazing content for both free and premium members.
From David Guetta to Madonna to Lil’ Wayne to Texas independent rock gods Zlam Dunk, Spotify has something for everyone! To sign up for Spotify in the United States click here for invitations from Sprite (http://www.spotify.com/us/sprite/) and Coca-Cola (http://www.spotify.com/us/coca-cola/).
