London - Spotify, the ad-supported European streaming music service, is set to launch in the U.S. in one or two month's time, CEO Daniel Ek said at a music conference in Los Angeles, Billboard reported. Ek also said that the company is adding "a few thousand" paying subscribers a day in Europe to the premium, ad-free version of its service. The company said separately in a press release on Wednesday that it has updated its artist discovery feature, and now includes its own "cross-referencing data collected over millions of users listening hours to power recommendations." Spotify's recommendations were previously created using tagging data provided by AllMusic.
