Look alive, America. Spotify will soon be available in in the states—for real, this time.
A banner on Spotify.com currently screams, "Spotify is coming to the U.S.," and invites interested American users to sign up and receive an email notification when it launches.
"The award-winning music service that's taken Europe by storm will soon be landing on US shores. Millions of tracks ready to play instantly, on your computer and your phone," a note on the site reads. "Any track, any time, anywhere. And it's free!"
Rumors about a U.S. Spotify launch have been making the rounds for months, but deals with U.S. labels have reportedly been the sticking point. Recently, however, Spotify has inked deals with Universal, Sony, and others, according to reports.
Spotify launched in October 2008 and reached 1 million users by March 2009. By April, the site had signed on 1 million paid subscribers.
At this point, though, Spotify is currently only available in Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK, France, Spain and the Netherlands, earning it the distinction of the best music service you can't have.
The popularity of the service, however, prompted it to cut back on some of its free listening time recently. Starting May 1, Spotify limited users to 10 hours per month after the 20-hour per month, six-month free trial ended. Additionally, users were only able to play each track five times. The company's Unlimited and Premium services were not affected.
Separately, Spotify said Wednesday that it signed a deal with Virgin Media to provide UK customers with access to its 13 million tracks across multiple platforms, whether that's online, via mobile devices, or the TV. It will launch in the coming months.
