Spotify, a popular on-demand streaming music service that PCMag previewed last year (and hailed as the best music service that you haven't tried), is one step closer to making its way across the pond to the United States, according to new reports.

After over a year of negotiations with American record labels, Spotify is close to solidifying a deal with Sony, according to two music industry sources who spoke with that New York Post. Spotify has also garnered support from other unnamed labels as well, which bodes well for any potential success in the United States.

Spotify has been a European exclusive since 2008, where it offers free, ad-supported all-you-can-eat access to users, and two paid premium plans. The £4.99 plan removes ads, and the £9.99 plan lets users stream tunes to mobile devices and listen to those songs off line via station caching.

"Spotify is launching in the U.S., for sure," and unnamed music executive said. "They've got the deals now."

Spotify would not confirm the Post's report.

Just this week, Spotify announced a partnership with Shazam to connect Shazam users directly to Spotify music. The "Play in Spotify" feature will be available for iOS and Android users in the UK, Sweden, Norway, Finland, France, Spain, and the Netherlands. It will initially be open to those with the premium Shazam Encore and (Shazam) RED apps, though it will come to the free Shazam app later this quarter.
