Spotify is now available in the US

• I Wear Pants

  Well, not quite yet but starting today it is. Don't know when they'll start letting you sign up.
  
  This is awesome as Spotify kicks the shit out of pretty much everything else.

  I am upset they forgot about the 8 track.
• I Wear Pants

  Well me too (thanks European proxies) but I thought it was noteworthy. Jerk.

  I signed up for an invite a few weeks ago and haven't heard anything back from them, so fuck them.

  seems a lot like google music or amazon cloud or itunes.
  
  what makes this better?
• I Wear Pants

  Because it comes with all the music. Google/Amazon/Itunes doesn't come with music.
  
  You don't have to upload or own these songs, you get.

  I've been using this like crazy the last few days. I'm really close to upgrading to one of the paid accounts.

  On it. Been for a week or so.

  The thing I don't like about it (compared to my iTunes), is that (to my current knowledge) I can't play spotify songs to my remote speakers. I have a stereo system set up to an Apple Airport Express (airtunes) where I can stream my music from either my iPod or my MacBook Pro. If it had this capability, I'd pay for it!

  You can pay for it. It's $10/month.

  I didn't see where it said I could stream to remote speakers, douche bag.

  I don't see anything about remote speaker streaming:

  Now why don't you make like a tree and get the fu-ck out of here.

  I see nothing about Apple Airtunes on here:

  Or something like that.

  If I ever decide to switch to a paid account I'll probably be using the Zune Pass thing instead simply because for $12 a month (with the yearly subscription) you get what you get from Spotify and you can keep 10 tracks a month forever. Although it's only useful if you use devices that are compatible with the service (which I have several of so it fits).
