Spotify is coming to the US, according to an official announcement issued by the company.
Spotify has posted a US landing page, and is collecting emails for its initial rollout. The rest, including a specific launch date, remains uncertain, though the announcement suggests a Warner Music Group deal has indeed been completed.
This could be a very splashy US-based arrival, thanks in part to Facebook. On top of that, a $100 million-plus war-chest always helps to spread the word. But this could disappoint freebie-loving fans, as sources are already pointing to a more crippled version than the European app. That includes even greater limitations on the number of free tracks offered per month, though the US-based catalog appears to be robust at this point.
And for now, Spotify is keeping things really, really simple. “Any track, anytime, anywhere. And it’s free!”
Or, something like that.
