By now, it’s likely you’ve heard of Spotify, the Sweden-based music service. With Spotify, users get on-demand access to millions of tracks, through both paid and free (ad-supported) accounts. Due to its slow rollout in Europe, and inaccessibility here in the US, Spotify has been receiving quite a lot of buzz since its 2008 launch. Now, Spotify is finally coming to the US.

For years, our product Airfoil has been a boon to Spotify users. To listen to music directly on your computer, Spotify is all you need. But if you’re looking to stream Spotify to your stereo, Airfoil comes to the rescue. Setup is a snap, of course. Just launch Airfoil and set Spotify as the source at the top of Airfoil’s window, then transmit to your desired outputs to get audio flowing.

Using Airfoil, you can send the music from your Mac or PC out to AirPlay audio devices like the AirPort Express or Apple TV. You can also create an ad-hoc radio station for the office, sending Spotify’s audio to other Macs and PCs running Airfoil Speakers. When you do, you’ll see full album art and track titles, and even be able to remotely control playback.

We’re thrilled to see Spotify come to the States, and hope to enhance the experience for many new users with Airfoil. So check out Spotify by signing up for a free or paid account, and if you haven’t got it already, grab Airfoil to send its audio anywhere you like.
