Spotify Blames Late German Launch On Language, Avoids The Music Rights Question

Streaming subscription music company Spotify will launch in Germany tomorrow. The company has made no statement in English but is talking to German media outlets, and we've confirmed via other sources. Axel Bring?us will be its Director of International Growth based out of Berlin. Local partners include the German edition of Interview magazine and the festival guide Eventim. Users will face the same 9.99 euro ($13.10; ?8.40) monthly fee for the business's premium service that is charged the EU. Spotify goes up against Simfy (which has funding from DuMont Venture and Earlybird) as well as Rdio and Deezer, which have previously launched in Germany, among other territories. Right now Spotify has 10 million registered users (over 3 million pay the subscription for ad-free music) and 16 million tracks available and it works in 13 countries worldwide.
