1. Spotify for iPad →

    After years of rumours, whisperings, outright denials, and instances of “well, maybe…”, Spotify has finally released its iPad app to the world.

    Spotify’s head of mobile product, Gustav Soderstrom, said in a press briefing: “We’ve spent a bunch of time building this application. We think the iPad is a unique device and we want to build a unique application for it.”

    The app does everything that you’d expect Spotify’s iPad app to do. It lets you search for and play music from Spotify’s library, as well as organising it into playlists and displaying large cover artwork. The app can also sync playlists for offline playback, as well as giving access to the service’s social functionality. 

  2. SPOTIFY GAPLESS PLAYBACK IS HERE

    After being announced a few days ago Spotify Gapless Playback has finally arrived.

    Nice stuff

  3. Mind the gap! Spotify now with gapless playback and crossfade  →

    Gapless playback lets the tracks flow seamlessly, one to the next, without any silence between. Perfect for classical music, live recordings and concept albums.

    It’s such a useful feature that the new release of Spotify will have gapless ‘On’ by default. If you want to turn it off, it’ll be right there in your Spotify Preferences.

  4. SpotON Radio app for iPhone →

    SpotON will let you listen to Internet radio stations, your own Spotify playlists, or any other music Spotify offers. The app uses “music intelligence” from Echo Nest for recommendations, and as you can see above, the display is clean and clear, which is always nice.

  6. RADIOHEAD TKOL RMX 1234567 →

    The handful of remix albums that justify their existence propose a series of intriguing what-ifs. But The King of Limbs was so deeply informed by leftfield electronica that it arrived almost pre-remixed.

    There’s questionable utility in commissioning Four Tet and Caribou to rework songs that already sound a bit like Four Tet and Caribou. Furthermore, this unsequenced, unedited compilation of limited-edition vinyl releases feels less like an album than an info dump. You have to dig around in the predictable constellations of hiccuping beats, tremulous chords and spooked wisps of vocal to uncover rewarding efforts, such as Modeselektor’s thrill-powered techno enhancement of Morning Mr Magpie or Altrice’s six-minute meltdown (dare we say megamix?) of the whole album.

    Perhaps only letting Swedish House Mafia loose on Codex would constitute a genuine surprise in Radiohead world, but this set intensifies the dilemma of its parent album: ostensibly unconventional music that feels all too familiar.
