Spotify for iPad finally released

After waiting a good few years for it to arrive, Spotify have finally released their app for Apple’s iPad tablet.

Not just merely a re-sized iPhone app like the one Spotify had been hiding behind on iPad until now, the visually-rich app features a slide-out navigation pane, a trending playlists section (based on both location and friends) and full, individually-tweaked support for both landscape and portrait orientations.

Search has been updated too, with band bio information and pictures offered up alongside tracks, while all album art work and interface features make full use of the new iPad’s Retina display.

“Enjoying all the world’s music instantly on your iPad has never been easier,” reads the Spotify press statement.

“And with the brand new full-screen view and AirPlay integration, Spotify and your iPad are perfect for each other, both as your pumped-up living room stereo and your lean, green music machine when you’re on the move.”

And it’s about time too. Click here to grab the app from the App Store.
