Spotify in the U.S. Really. No, really.Spotify is finally launching in the U.S. on Thursday

Rumors have been circulating that a U.S. launch would be coming any day, although the company hadn’t confirmed an official kick off date until now. Users will be able to sign up by invitation through the Spotify Web site.

As of last week, it appeared that three of the big four music labels had signed on with only Warner Music Group holding out. Presumably Warner and Spotify have finally reached an agreement.

Spotify hasn’t offered up any details about what U.S. customers can expect when the service launches, although it will be sharing more on Thursday morning.
