Spotify has unveiled its latestAndroid app, which now includes a faster, streamlined interface and higher sound quality than before.
The app has full support for Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and features a new tile-based, "slide-out" navigation with support for high-resolution art.
As far as playback features are concerned, the app includes crossfade and gapless playback, support for"Extreme" 320kbps files, and Last.fm scrobbling.
The app promises a deeper experience than before with enhanced support for friends playlists and profile pages, a "related artists" view, a playback queue, and folder support for better organization of playlists.
The app also comes with a widget that allows playback from your home screen.
The app has been in preview for a few months, and follows the new iPad app, which has very similar features.
Users who want to listen to their files on the go will need to sign up for a Premium Spotify subscription ($9.99 a month). The app is available now for free from the Google Play store.
"For all our Android users, this Spotify update is a huge leap forward. We've rebuilt it from top to bottom, making it faster, slicker and much better looking," said Gustav Soderstrom, vice president of products at Spotify.
