After months of speculation and rumors, much-lauded European music service Spotify is available in the U.S. with all four major labels on board.

Starting Thursday morning, folks in the U.S. are be able to sign up for both paid tiers of Spotify’s service: $4.99 per month for its unlimited, ad-free service, and $9.99 per month for the premium, mobile service.

Its free service, which limits listening somewhat, will roll out to users via invites in the next few weeks.

“We want to see how it goes,” says Ken Parks, chief content officer at Spotify. “It’s not unusual for services to do so. We want to test it, let users play with it.”

The service will be available on all the platforms that currently feature it in Europe — iPhone, Android, Symbian, Windows Phone and Palm — as well as consumer electronics devices like Sonos.

Upon launch, Spotify will be the only free, on-demand service available in the U.S. on mobile and desktop (Slacker Radio does have a free tier, but not for on-demand listening), which will definitely make it enticing to users.
