Spotify in the US

Posted by: JeremyB on 17 July 2011

I just got my invite and signed up. It's been a long wait.

It's worth signing up now if you're in the US and wondering what the UK Naimees have been on about for years.

Congratulations! Make sure you select "high-quality streaming" mode in settings,

Thanks Noogle, I signed up for premium so I can do this. Is there any way of telling which albums are high quality streaming? I heard that not all music is streaming at high quality.

Don't think so.

Just read an online article where the author had looked at Spotify file sizes and found that only 35 out of 115 Spotify Premium tracks he tested were 320kbit/s - the remainder 160kbit/s. Annoying, especially as the record companies supply Spotify with FLAC files.

Google "Spotify bitrategate" to find out more.
