Spotify for Android gets a major overhaul

The wildly popular music streaming application, Spotify, has finally given its Android app a design overhaul for devices running Android 4.0. This has been a long time coming, especially considering how long Ice Cream Sandwich has been out on the market (since November 2011). The new app launches in beta today with several new features, which includes the most noticeable change — a sharp new look that puts Google’s Holo theme for Android 4.0 applications front and center.

So far Android users who have used it, claims the application itself has become much more intuitive look and speed wise. As you should already know, to get a good feel of this streaming service, you’ll still need a Spotify Premium subscription for $9.99/month to use its mobile app on any platform. It’s the equivalence of Netflix, but for music. Here’s the official list of new features, straight from Spotify:

  • Totally new app with full support for Android 4.0
  • Top-to-bottom redesign
  • All-new slide-out navigation
  • More social — check out friends’ profile pages and playlists
  • Artist images in high resolution
  • Related artist view
  • So much faster!
  • That’s not the end of it. We’re working hard on adding further features, including folders and Last.fm scrobbling before the app goes live in Google Play.

To get your hands on the beta, all you have to do is enable the installation of unauthorized applications on your device by going to Settings, then Applications, then checking Unknown Sources. Once you’ve done all that, you can download the app straight from Spotify.
