I think it's a well presented and organised service, easy to find what's there IF it's there. The repertoire will increase probably. It's got great sound quality, and there are many albums available that might seem surprising. Much of the early Morgan/Strom material is there.
I was listening to Friedhofer's 'Richthofen and Brown' and 'Private Parts' recently. A great site for sampling material before finding the CDs.
They are legitimate. From an industry point of view, the music could be soundcard-ripped though.
You don't need invited if you're in the UK, and it'll be extended to the US later.

I've been using it for a while and I like it. Originally I started out sampling new scores and CDs I hadn't picked up yet, on a try-before-you-buy basis (and when I can afford them I will definitely shell out for the Giacchino STAR TREK, the Varese re-record of MARNIE and possibly Tyler's FAST AND FURIOUS) but I'm now using it as a starting point to listen to other music - pop, classical, easy/lounge, comic songs, ambient noodlings, TV themes and the occasional bit of camp disco.
Shall we start exchanging playlists?

I don't use it, but who knows what will happen in the future..?

Sorry to "gloat" (non-UK / the "Uninvited" folks out there..) - but I'm in the UK and I too have been happily using Spotify for some time (and this is coming from someone who dislikes the likes of "iTunes" and doesn't "download" music at all..)
That is of course the beauty of this service - you're not "downloading" at all - merely streaming.
Even on long sessions I've yet to find the ads *too* irritating - and there's always the "Pro" account option to consider anyway if they really DO drive you nuts..
I've "Previewed" many scores on there over the past few months and then gone on to buy their CD counterparts elsewhere.
In short, all good - and I very much hope for those who can't currently get access that it comes to YOUR country soon!
John.

I can't use Spotify because I live in the U.S., but I do use a similar service available in the U.S. called imeem. I have collected many of the scores available on imeem at www.imeem.com/filmscores.
Actually, you CAN use Spotify even if you live in the US. However, you would need an invitation (alternatively google around for ways to get around it). That's what I did (I live in Norway).
Thanks for the 411 on this, Thor. Look forward to it when it crosses the pond.

I'm still not using Spotify. Youtube is good enough for me.
