@Mike-

Can you tell me more about Simplify? I have 60GB of music stored on my Apple Time Capsule. Besides my iPhone, I also use a Sonos system to listen to music at home. Thanks.

If Spotify actually came out in the US it would be amazing...

OK, am I the only one getting sick from eating all the sweetness poured on Spotify? I've read approx 10 blog entries on how wonderful Spotify is.

We don't know what it will cost. Let's say it's $15, close to the UK price. You really want to rent music for $180/yr? When Spotify goes out of business, your music is all gone. They'll take it all back just as quickly as Amazon takes back Kindle books. And, if you're someone who doesn't spend that much per year on music (me, for one), you'll stick with the Amazon CD or MP3 store or one of Spotify's free competitors.

Sorry, not interested.

First I LOVE Simplify which gives me access to my 100 G of music I have on my server.

Then there are plenty of free software like AOL and Pandora.

Why would I PAY for this? I can add my own playlist with the iPhone iPod for locally cashed music.

yeah exactly what Martin said.. welcome USA to how it feels to not have all the stuff you have :L haha. Im sure you will get it soon, its an amazing program. And to be honest. 120 pounds for a year. thats around 12 albums. But this way, you never have to hold this music.. its all streamed - and the internet is everywhere now. And also no adverts when paid so its the ideal service!

I've been waiting for Spotify to hit the US for a long time! When I saw the title of this article I thought that meant it was finally coming It's a great service, I love Pandora and use it all the time, but I would probably never use it again should Spotify come to this side of the pond. Anyone who thinks they are satisfied with their online music streaming service has never used Spotify. The only thing it needs is a new name, lol.
