Too bad the stupid majors killed it before they got to you US citizens.

I loved the "free against ads" model which was near the FM radio model...

Well if it's the same as here:
- For free you get 20h / month and you can only play a song 5 times (that's spotify open).
- Then for 4.99 € (about $8 I think) per month it's unlimited but only on PCs (spotify unlimited)
- Then fo 9.99 € (about $13 I think) per month you get everything shown in the video. I.e. mobile and offline access mainly (spotify premium).

So basically the youtube video ad is completely false of course...

Edit: before the stupid majors broke everything you could have the equivalent of spotify unlimited for free with ads but this is over.
Personally I now use grooveshark instead.
