Yeah - this is good news for anyone in Bolivia, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Hungary, Malta, Slovakia, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay (Spotify) or Argentina, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Hungary, Israel, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, South Africa, Uruguay, and Venezuela (Rdio). See more at http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/permalink/2013/12/11/spotifyrdio" rel="nofollow - http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/permalink/2013/12/11/spotifyrdio Spotify is also extending its "free" ad-supported music service to mobile devices. Smartphone users will be able to build playlists of songs and then hear them played back in a random order. Tablet users will have more control, letting them select specific tracks. Experts said it needed to make the moves to combat growing competition. Spotify will be limited to "shuffle" mode on handsets unless a fee is paid. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25338591" rel="nofollow - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25338591 Over the past year Google has rolled out its own subscription Play Music service in several countries, Apple has launched iTunes Radio in the US and Bloom.fm has begun offering subscription packages at cheaper rates than Spotify in the UK. France's Deezer has announced its intention to begin offering tracks in the US next year. In January it is expected that YouTube will launch its own music service, which may
well have a strong mobile offering.  |

Still not in Canada. I don't want to pay for a subscription anyway; I'll keep using Grooveshark.

Thank you for this information yam yam... very interesting.
Always technologically behind the times, I have only recently started to use Spotify, and was wondering how many PAers use the service at all, and how many pay the £4.99 pcm subscription? I think I might invest in the Dummies Guide to see whether it's for me, before I completely commit. |

I have spotify ultimate ($4.99/month). I don't have a huge need for a mobile spotify and no ads when streaming is amazing. ------------- http://ow.ly/8ymqg" rel="nofollow">
