I (and I guess any other EU subscribers) have a number of invitations if anyone here wants to try the Free version before committing to Unlimited. Anyone interested in one? Edit: can only send if your email address is on your HN profile, of course. Edit edit: http://www.spotify.com/us/amanda/ will be less hassle for all whilst it lasts.

We've got Grooveshark and Slacker, and Grooveshark doesn't make you hear any ads even if you don't pay them. The other side of that is you can only use Grooveshark on your phone if you are a paying customer. Apparently Pandora has good recommendations so I'll give them a try when they come to Canada. As for Spotify, meh. What's so great about them?

Rdio is also in Canada.

Yeah Rdio seems nice. I just wish the recommendation were better, but for the rest I like it a lot.

As long as they have all the weird music I listen to, sure. Is there a way to check their selection without signing up? I don't see any way to check if they have Soul Coughing, Zyklon Boom, Любэ, the original Grand Theft Auto soundtrack, Tub Ring, etc? (These are the first few songs I see in my playlist on my iPhone.) I'd be pretty pissed if I signed up and got a Top 40's equivalent for my money.

Sadly, there is no way to preview the catalog. I have an account and checked your list, though, because I've not heard of the majority of those and was curious: Soul Coughing - Y Zyklon Boom - N Любэ - N GTA - Only GTA IV and Vice City Tub Ring - Y (these guys have a great sound, thanks for the heads up!)

Sure there is. "just" use the Metadata API :) https://developer.spotify.com/en/metadata-api/overview/ There should be services built using it, but I don't know any offhand.
