Is there any ETA on when Spotify might become available in the US?

  When enough people lobby their congressman for copyright reform. The RIAA simply have no interest in doing a deal with Spotify.

  Just register using a European proxy. Once you download the app, you can listen all you want from a US IP. I'm doing it right now. Edit: "a person can use a free, ad-supported Spotify account anywhere outside of their home country for 14 days." http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/industry/e3ib36f6aee9fd6397223918494098da1ef http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/industry/e3ib... The Spotify client does support proxying, so I'll be using my proxy server permanently after the 14 day limit, I guess. But if you pay them for the Unlimited or Premium plans, you don't have to worry about that.

    I was under the impression you needed a credit card with a European address to register for their premium services. Anyone know otherwise?

      It says they take PayPal, so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use that.
