If the U.S. version of Spotify is anything like its European counterpart, then users will be able to choose between a free account that allows access to ‘x’ number of hours of music of month, or a premium account that charges a set amount each month (in the UK it ranges between €5 and €10 a month) for unlimited streaming, higher-bit rate tracks, no advertisements, and the ability to access an account on a mobile device.
Spotify has long attempted to come to the U.S., but was only recently able to secure agreements with all four of the major labels. It also recently partnered with Facebook, which will allow Facebook users to see a Spotify icon on the left side of their newsfeed and play Spotify’s library through their Facebook account.
