Spotify will be in the US soon enough. Supposedly the recorld labels are looking to buy a stake in the company. Right now I won't get the iPhone app. The pro account is too expensive.
Having the play, next track etc controls in the bottom hampers usability because everything else is usually at the top.
I don't like how the search results are shown. Usually you search for a band so it's annoying to have a results screen showing all the band's songs in random order when it really should've just gone to the band's "page" with the neat album listing etc.
The ads are generally poorly done. The ones that advertise a Spotify feature get grating soon because they only have one version and they play those often. The non-Spotify ads are often really annoying, my least favorite ones are the Right Livelihood award ad that sounds like it was recorded at a cocktail party (you can hear people talking and glasses clinking in the background) or the Amy McDonald album ad because she has an annoying voice. The ads are also not relevant to your listening preferences - it's a bit pointless to advertise the new Shakira album when you're listening to Norwegian black metal or something.
