Spotify is clearly the service of music streaming in fashion. Even before its launch in the United States and the validation or not Spotify on the iPhone, Spotify is poised to raise 50 million dollars more. The application may well steal the show from Deezer, MusicMe, Grooveshark or Jiwa, which need no software except a browser and the Flash Player.

Here are the best sites and services to enhance the Spotify experience.

The invitations for Spotify

You are likely to seek invitations to Spotify, so that finally just go to this page to create an account. No excuse not to test the competitor of Deezer.
