Somebody cue up the Avril Lavigne, Neil Young, and Rush jams, because there's cause for a celebration, Canadians. Spotify is finally launching for everyone in the Great White North.
The streaming-music service on Tuesday announced that Spotify is officially live in Canada on mobile devices, tablets, and desktop computers. The move comes after Spotify first launched in Canada on an invitation-only basis this summer and three years after the popular U.K.-based music service first arrived in the U.S.
"Spotify is launching in Canada with a comprehensive catalogue featuring the best local music from every genre, region and generation," Spotify Chief Content Officer Ken Parks said in a statement. "This is a Spotify that has been tailor made for Canadian music fans."
Music lovers from Vancouver to Montreal and everywhere in between can now access to all the features Spotify fans around the world have come to know and love. You can listen on any device with "audio quality of up to 320kbp," save and organize your favorite jams, and share them with friends via email or social media.
The Spotify library boasts more than 20 million songs, including some local favorites. Spotify promised "the most extensive Canadian music catalogues available including a comprehensive Quebecois library."
Anyone can download the Spotify app and listen to any song, album, or artist on the ad-supported free version. A $10 monthly upgrade to Spotify Premium lets you download and listen to music offline, without ads, in the highest quality audio.
