Spotify Set to Launch in U.S.

Spotify Set to Launch in U.S.

It appears that streaming music service Spotify is finally set to launch in the U.S. The company has posted a landing page declaring that, "the award-winning music service that’s taken Europe by storm will soon be landing on US shores."

The page also features a form that lets visitors sign up for an invite. No details about a specific launch date or pricing were immediately available. We've reached out to the company for comment and will update when we learn more.

The U.S. launch of Spotify has appeared imminent for months, with the company closing a $100 million round of funding and reportedly securing licensing deals with UMG, EMI and Sony.

The company, which has more than 10 million users in Europe, has also been rumored to be working on a streaming music service with Facebook. Might that be part of the "something awesome" that Facebook plans to announce at a press conference later on Wednesday? We'll soon find out, as that event kicks off at 1 p.m. ET (however, we already know a Skype partnership is part of today's Facebook news).
