Happy day! Music-streaming service Spotify no longer requires an invitation for everyone in the US. Also, for the first six months when sign up—whether you live in the US or other countries with Spotify—you can use the Spotify Free service unpaid without any limits.


After the six months are up, you can continue to use Spotify on the free plan, which gives you up to 10 hours of listening a month or upgrade to one of the paid options. The $4.99/month unlimited plan eliminates ads, and the $9.99 premium plan gives you mobile access, offline mode, and enhanced sound quality.

Here's the catch: To get past the invite system, you'll have to go through Facebook (Spotify also announced yesterday its integration with Facebook, just in time for Facebook to announce its upcoming new features).


You'll start seeing new music posts and play buttons in your Facebook newsfeeds. Keep in mind that after the initial 6-month period, music you listen on Facebook will count towards your Spotify monthly limit.
