Spotify for the US certainly has been "in the works" for, well, forever. But coming from a would-be competitor, this piece only comes across as cranky trash-ta

  We don't really consider ourselves a competitor. They're an on-demand service that gives you an ad-supported and limited free experience until you pay a monthly fee, at which time they're a very comprehensive on-demand service. There are other services that they compete with here who have yet to really gain big market share. We are ad-free, streaming radio focused on music discovery and creating a connection between fans and the bands we showcase. Most Americans use more than one music service to serve different needs. It was definitely meant to get a reaction, but mostly I am just bored with the "Spotify is coming according to some secret source" journalism that has been coming out every week for about 8 months now. If they're really that close, they'd put out an official statement. Leaking the same boring news every week is just getting old.
