Is it available in SL?. I use Deezer instead. It includes more songs, family plan, link with FB and above all, high resolution CD quality music (which is not available with spotify yet). Only better thing spotify offers is the layout.
Not officially available but can be used using a VPN. Deezer is pretty good as well. I personally use Apple Music due to the large collection of songs, even some Sinhala songs 🙂
