A few weeks back we talked about the launch of Spotify in the US and how the launch has been postponed due to conflicts between licensing deals with publishers and record companies. A few weeks on from the news, it has been reported that Spotify, the online music service is back on and a more definitive US launch date has been pencilled in at the earliest, July 2010.
The service has been available in Europe for more than a year and has proven to be successful, especially in the UK. Already approximately 7 million people across Europe listen to the music using Spotify which provides access to almost 10 million songs.
A similar online music service, MOG, launched in the US during the SXSW Interactive. The service boasts about 7 million songs and charge $5 per month for computer access and $10 per month for mobile phone accounts.
