Will Spotify become available free in any other country in the next year (before 18/2/10)?
Background: Spotify is a free downloadable program that allows the user access to listen to a vast library of free music interrupted only every 6 songs or so with a 30second advert, a subscription may be paid to avoid the adverts but one of Spotify’s main attraction is that it's free. Currently the free version is only available in Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK, France and Spain, will it become available free in any other country in the next year (before 18th February 2010)? The question will settle when Spotify becomes avalable in any other country or the year is up. http://www.spotify.com/en/help/introduction/
Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.
