At its Windows Phone press event in New York Today, Microsoft unveiled Spotify for Windows Phone, an app we've all been waiting for.
2011-11-07
Microsoft officially launched the application today.
The app itself looks incredibly slick, and is ultra snappy to use. Spotify catered the music streaming experience elegantly to Windows Phone's Metro User Interface, and includes all the features you'd expect, plus more.
There's playlists, a news feed, now playing, and a beautiful new People screen that helps you pick out a friend and see what he or she is listening to.
And of course, you can control music playback from your lock screen at any point.
Check out our full walkthrough of Spotify for Windows Phone.
