I believe the answer is that initially anyone could download the app and use Spotify with adverts for free. Then, once they had increased their user base, they have started to restrict new users of the free application to those receiving invites from existing Spotify Premium members (who get 2 new invites to distribute per month). In other words if you want to use it and pay the £9.99 per month then come on in no problem but if you want it for free then get yourself an invitation. All those using the free app prior to this decision are already in and OK. I guess they will lift this restriction (and indeed may have already done so) when they feel the need to entice more people in. I have a Premium account and find the ability to download music to the iPhone and iPod for use off-line an absolute revelation. As a huge consumer of music but not too bothered about having the actual disc (it is the listening that counts) it is saving me a fortune in both CD and download costs. As an alternative to Spotify, We7 is not bad - if you cannot find what you want on Spotify they may well have it instead.
