Spotify says iPad app is ‘in the works’
Posted On Wednesday, April 18, 2012 By temp. Under TUAW Tags: apps, daniel ek, danielek, ipad, iphone, spotify, spotifypremium, Streaming, the-end, tuaw
Spotify held an event in New York this week to make a "special announcement," and unfortunately, it wasn't about anything having to do with the streaming music service's long awaited iPad app. It was, instead, about some deal that they're making with Coke , which will start off as some sort of branded apps. Anyway, nobody really cares about all of that (or at least, it's up to Spotify and Coke to make people care -- the marketing budget probably has plenty of money slated in it for just that reason)

Flutter app brings Kinect-like gesture controls to iTunes, Spotify [video]
Posted On Friday, March 30, 2012 By admin. Under BoyGenius Tags: boygenius, flutter, gesture controls, iTunes, kinect, mac, motion controls, os x, software, spotify
Microsoft’s wildly popular Kinect controller for the Xbox 360 brought motion-based controls to the masses when it launched in late 2010 . While similar technology will be built into a variety of consumer electronics moving forward — especially HDTVs — Mac users now have access to a free app that will add gesture controls to their current OS X computers. Currently compatible with just two programs, iTunes and Spotify, the Flutter app for Mac allows users to control music and video playback by making hand gestures that are recorded and relayed by the PC’s built-in iSight camera.

TUAW readers have spoken, and Spotify has grabbed the last iPhone award in the TUAW Best of 2011 voting. The free app (there is a charge for premium access) provides access to over 15 million tracks of music. Considering that Spotify has only been available in the US for six months , the fact that the app pulled in over 56 percent of the votes shows just how popular it is with TUAW readers.

Spotify already has proven itself a formidable competitor for Rdio , and the all-you-can-stream music service even matches up against iTunes with a subscription model versus iTunes' track-at-a-time sales approach.
