Spotify Is Now Available in Denmark

The US is not the only place Spotify is expanding to these days. With that big launch out of the way, and the whole Facebook integration quieting down, the company can finally focus on moving to new countries.

The latest on the list is Denmark, perhaps an obvious choice given its geographical closeness to Sweden, Spotify's home country.

For starters, Spotify is rolling out three service tiers, pretty much the same as everywhere else.

"We’re excited to let you know that today Spotify is crossing the Øresund and bringing a world of music to Denmark," Spotify announced.

"We’ll be offering three great services - from absolutely free to paid subscriptions," it said.

Spotify Free, Spotify Unlimited and Spotify Premium will be available to Danish users. The Free tier serves as a trial, it enables users to listen to music for free, though there will be ads, but it is limited to six months. However, users get to listen to all the music they want.

Spotify Unlimited is the first paid tier, it gets rid of the advertising and users get full access to the entire Spotify library on the desktop. In Denmark, Unlimited will be 49kr a month, $8.97 or EUR 6.58.

Finally, Spotify Premium is the full Spotify experience. Users can listen to all the music they want, on the desktop or on their mobile devices. They also get some higher quality music, some special offers and so on. Premium will be 99kr, or $18.12, EUR 13.30.

The Danish launch is a somewhat low key one, but it's one of the first in a long time, if you don't count the US one. Spotify has been putting all of its energy into launching a US version. It took a couple of years, but it finally did it last summer.

After that though, it was very focused on the Facebook integration, which was revealed at the social network's developer conference f8. That's when Spotify made the move to require all new users to sign up with their Facebook accounts, which didn't go that well.
