I'm not sure if it was a direct inspiration, but the UI reminds me of Vdio (http://blog.rdio.com/us/2013/04/introducing-vdio.html). I can't link to the actual site as it has since shut down.

Rdio offers a 30 second clip before asking you to sign up for sign in.

This isn't a totally open, perfect tool, but Spotify is constrained by the major labels it works with, and I think its good to see them pushing out beyond Facebook.
