Confirmed Player beta site Spotify

Spotify is a widely used service for music, and as people listen to Spotify, Spotify really listen to people and so has confirmed soon launch the beta version of its web player, but will be available only for a small number of users.
Apparently this new service will be something basic, which means that we can search for songs, connect to the Spotify Radio, create playlists and read the latest news from the world of music, but apparently there will be some audio commercials and probably also in the form of banner ads.
Everything indicates that the beta version of the new web player will be launched in early 2013, so we have to be vigilant.
Do you think this will help overcome Spotify similar services like Rdio and Grooveshark?
