Word is that Spotify is going to be a big contender for music fans. Previously the site had only been open to UK users if they could bag an invite from an existing user but no more! Spotify has opened the virtual doors to UK residents.
Huh, you say, what’s that? Spotify is a completely legal music sharing site where you can share music and create playlists with friends and colleagues – handy if you’re working in an office with like minded individuals. The company blog had this to say, “So starting today people in the UK will no longer need an invitation to join Spotify, you can register for our free service directly from our website as always our premium, ad-free service is still available. However, we want to make sure that everyone who uses Spotify gets the same fast, uninterrupted experience so providing a stable service is our priority. If growth happens too fast and it starts affecting quality we may have to re-instate the invitation system, hopefully this won’t happen.”
The blog also states that they hope to roll out the open invites to other countries soon. Sign up is free, a 24-hour no-ads day pass costs 99p and a premim no-ads membership costs £9.99pm. [via Music Ally]
