It looks great, y'all! Keep up the good work. It's my most used app by far and in my opinion, one of the best apps around right now.

 
 

OMG, good news! great surprise! Let's see if really fixes all the issues that previous app had. For me is important make better use of cache and avoid crashes, as sync takes a lot of time, and if you are away... and suddenly you lose your music, is a issue that should not happen. Going straight to test this new version Congratulations

 
 

How about get going with a app specificly for the iPad, now that it is officaily released in Sweden? The iPhone app looks too bad on the iPad.

 
 

Horray!! Finally!! Christmas has come early for us Android Spotifiers :) Thanks guys!

 
 

An incredible update, never thought this day would come ^_^ Thank you! :)

 
 

Excellent news! Thanks!

 
 

Nice update! Now all we need is an iPad app!

 
 

Great update! Now it aparently close so it doesn't keep the notification icon when you stop de music :-)

 
 

Rotation doesn't appear to working? -_- Was looking forward to using that in my car :(

 
 

Great update! Love it that it now also supports larger resolutions!

 
 

This is an awesome update! A couple of much-needed fixes there. Thanks for all the good work!

 
 

Looks great on my Samsung Galaxy S =D

 
 

Great news. When will you update the manual download link from m.spotify.com? Around now would be great thanks :)

 
 

please update the m.spotify.com versions as well!! can't wait to get the update!

 
 

Looking good! It would be the perfect app if it supported folders.

 
 

Rotation doesn't seem to work on my Desire, that's the only thing I need for safe driving in my car

 
 

Not that it was all that bad before, but it looks much better now on my old Tattoo! :)

 
 

Very nice. Feels faster for me. One caveat though: It seems no longer possible to see the whole album cover by tapping it which made the controls disappear before.

 
 

hope this fixes the problems on HTC Hero and similar where music skips as soon as you look at or away at the phone.

 
 

Nice work guys, But... When will we see folder support on the mobile apps? Also, an iPad app would be sweet.

 
 

spotify for president!

 
 

Seconding @wackie187, NO rotation support on my Nexus One - we need landscape Playback for in car!!!

 
 

I love that the pause button is gone from the notification bar now! The only thing that I would want to see in the app from now on is better shuffle. If I have shuffle turned on and press the first song in a playlist i get the shuffled playlist playing from the song i chose, so it can even be the last song. I want the entire playlist to be played...

 
 

So... how about a play queue instead of a play stack?

 
 

Still crashes on startup on my Desire HD...

 
 

Same on Desire, no rotation :(

 
 

Forget updating m.spotify.com - just make Spotify available in the marked for all regions please. Seriously!

 
 

Thanks for adding support for multiple LCD densities! I've got a custom density set on my HTC Desire, and it was always a mild annoyance that the UI didn't line up properly.

 
 

I second that nikolajc :)

 
 

Just when I decided not to refill my Premium account... The old client lost connection very often, and it had huge problem reconnecting. Most of the times the only cure was to restart the application. Maybe I'll give the new client a try.

 
 

love it! :-)

 
 

Nice update! Where are the pictures from the spotify party in Stockholm!?

 
 

Thank god yoll fixed this: Fixed an issue with the application not playing the next song in certain cases. Always had to press the volume up button to keep it playing

 
 

An option where to store all the data would be appreciated. The Galaxy S has an internal memory card which is 8 GB. I have an 16 GB external card and it's quite stupid that Spotify can't use all that space.

 
 

Still no queue, why not?!

 
 

Great! The bugs in the old version was starting to get a little annoying. The new look & feel seems great so far.

 
 

Good improvements but I'm still missing the support for the nestable/hierarchical playlists of the desktop client. Also, having a very large number of playlists still causes the client to crash incessantly.

 
 

Great, but fix the constant "crash if more than 1 playlist" bug. Stop prioritizing stupid stuff as UI "clearity", and focus on the bugs that matters.

 
 

How about a move to SD card option for the app. Desperately need space on my phone!

 
 

********************* Dont you think it was time to update the iPhone app so we can have folders now? I have been waiting ages for this roll out. I have over 300 playlists as I create one for each album that I like the catagorize them inside folders. When I then use the app on the iPhone it is unusable due to the number of playlists I have to scroll through. This should have been sorted ages ago. I am now at the point that I am considering just going to a free account and ditch using the iphone and go back to iTunes. considering how talented your developers clearly are this should be a breeze to impliment. Instead of rolling out Spotify on all of the new devices you should make stable versions for your current devices. Aslo...... syncing library tracks to the iPhone is an absolute nightmare. It is so hit and miss it is unreal. I am not a happy bunny at the moment - and I am sure thousands of other share my pain.

 
 

great, hopefully this means you are working on an iPad version

 
 

Boorg: I got queue. SE X10.

 
 

Rotation is great But why is it only tied to the keyboard slide out (on my Moto Dext) and not the accellerometer. (possibly this is why you desire guys dont see it) Other than that great work guys! Clem

 
 

Grymt! Ser jättesnyggt ut, tack :) Awesome! Looks great, thanks :)

 
 

Still crashes on my HTC Desire HD. I have a library with 2520 tracks. I thinks that is whay is causing the crash.

 
 

Please update the file at m.spotify.com, too. Thanks!

 
 

Looks awesome on my Galaxy Tab, nice work!

 
 

No rotation on my Desire. What a let down. Also folders, folders, folders.... Come on guys we need folders in Spotify Mobile, stat!

 
 

Yeah, update the file at m.spotify.com. I am currently abroad, so I can not download the file from the market.
