Spotify now offering unrestricted access to UK users
Good news if you’re a Brit who’s been begging for an invite to streaming music service Spotify. The company is opening up its free service to anyone in the UK, without the need for an invite. Fill yer boots!
“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,” says a post on the company’s blog.
“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 UK is the first country to get unrestricted access to Spotify, although the company says it’s hoping to roll this out to other markets soon. It seems its UK user base has grown very quickly, making the region a priority market. Nice.

In Sweden we have to wait some longer, but it is understandable that the UK is more of a key market.
