Spotify我很早就介绍过了。今天Techcrunch的消息：预计在2010年第1个或者第二个季度，Spotify要向中国开放了！
The headline points from his talk were that we can, as we expected, see a US launch in Q1 2010 as well as a launch in Germany and China in Q1/2 (so no pressure then).

China is also going to be a huge market for Spotify. Khan knows it well – he launched and exited an internet advertising company in China years before it even appeared on most people’s radar.
He says the number one online activity there is music and guess what, “no-one buys music in China”.
Device wise Spotify “would like to be everywhere”, even if it has a “partial connection” like a car. They are looking to be in TV Screens, gaming consoles, but likely more for premium users only rather than free, ad-supoorted users.
看了下Shakil Khan还是有一些中国背景的。。。
Spotify最凶残的竞争对手将是QQ音乐。希望Spotify能在内地直接设服务器，或者至少在HK或者Singapore弄一个镜像，否则速度太慢了。
Spotify所说的车载和手持设备，这个领域更加凶险，老巢位于成都的中国移动12530.com，技术烂网站烂什么都烂，但是就是有牛逼的后台和巨额资金投入。也是中国移动内容战略比较关键的一环。。。。。Spotify跟这种国家级老大哥老流氓老black社会，如果真斗上了估计是也是凶多吉少。。。。
Spotify想称雄国内音乐市场，甚至合法塑形付费音乐产业，现有的功能配备是肯定不行的。必须大刀阔斧本地化。否则注定被竞争对手学习消化并且山寨，然后Spotify被冷落而小众。还有个很大的风险就是Guns n' Roses这种著名乐队，可能被竞争对手恶意举报。。。。。
PS 欢迎加入在豆瓣的Spotify小组
用邪有暗香盈袖恶的办法注册了，但不会用。
我觉得它的播放速度现在就够快了.
貌似是P2P的原因吧,完全没缓冲,和Last.fm有天壤之别.
当然,本地设置服务器更好,查询速度什么的也会更快.
我觉得要解决的一是中文化的问题,现在在Spotify上搜华语歌手只能搜英文名,拼音就搜不到.
第二就是中文曲库,现在看来还太少.
