Its taken a while but the new Spotify iPhone app is here for iPad users. After some time after the introduction of the popular streaming music service, this latest iPad application offers some fresh new features.

For anyone unfamiliar with the music app Spotify, heres a brief introduction. Boasting 17 million tracks, the music service has become one of the most popular of its kind, it allows free play of music which is often integrated into Facebook giving a kind of social share feature through your network of friends. In addition it offers playback of a large range of artists both mainstream and unsigned. On PC's Its obtained by a small download of light software and user registration. There are extra benefits for paid members.

The new app for the iPad offers some additional features including high definition art on the album graphics, it also gives users the chance to search artists with prediction from a first letter input, in return it would display a related album cover etc to that specific artist.

With its high definition graphics of both the iPad and this new app it has been labeled a 'nice looking app'.

iPad users looking to use the new app have to be a premium member though. This requires $10 per month charge. You can however try it for a limited 30 days trial.

The app would probably be a good addition in the home or on the go to playback music from a large range of artists and genre's. One of Spotify's main features is to state which songs are fresh and most popular giving the user an insight to all the newest music available.
