If you use a swedish proxy for registration it will give you more music than a UK account.

Just for info.

can you elaborate on that? what's the reason for being that way? thanks

I am wondering the same thing. The only reason I can think of is that you will get Swedish music that you will not get if you register with a UK IP address. I may be wrong but that would be my guess.

If someone knows it would be great if you could tell us what extra music you get if you sign up using a Swedish proxy

To answer your questions. Go to the Spotify site and read the forums, some music is not allowed in some countries, I am sorry I don't know why. But buried somewhere in those forums on of the admins there mentioned that Sweden has a much lower ratio of music that is not allowed than other countries.

If I find it again, I will come back and post a link for you.

Nothing to do with Bittorrent. Moved to File Sharing section and closed for tidiness.

There are already discussion threads for this client.
