Spotify goes live. Well, kind of.
European music streaming service Spotify has gone live, with music from all four major labels, plus indie distributor The Orchard and licensing agency Merlin. It’s available in seven European countries – UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Finland, Norway and Sweden – but not the US or Asia yet. We’ve been taking a look.
As you can see from the homepage screenshot, there are three ways for users to access the site. The Free option offers free access to the site’s content, supported by adverts (the likes of Ford, T-Mobile and Xbox are on board for the launch).
Meanwhile, a Premium subscription costs £9.99 a month, while a Day Pass costs £0.99 per day – both offering unlimited access with no ads. However, the launch so far only includes the Premium subscription – the Free option is still invite-only.
