Spotify available in the US

This may be old news to some but Spotify will be available in the US starting tomorrow, http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jun/18/business/la-fi-ct-spotify-20110618 and http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-20079299-93/spotify-tomorrows-the-day-for-u.s-launch/. There are a lot of musical streaming services but I'm excited about Spotify for two reasons. One it is free but you are limited to how many hours you can listen to it a month. And it has an app so it works with Squeezebox products. I was never too excited about Rhapsody and while MOG looks good, it doesn't work with Squeezebox.

The day has finally come, folks - that sweet, sweet music service that was only once available to our friends 'cross the pond is now available in .

Are there any other streaming music websites like this besides Napster, Pandora, Rhapsody, etc. that will work in different countries?

It seems that when you travel to other countries and jump on a hotel or wifi that is not hosted by an ISP in the USA you can't login to your account and get the service. It displays "this is not available in your country yet".

I don't want the trouble of trying to find a reliable USA proxy site and trying to keep that programmed in all the time so I can access my account through that when I travel.
