An official Spotify Android app is in the works, and the music streaming service has just demoed it for the first time. Read on for the video, but be sure to bring a shovel. You’ll need it to scoop your jaw off the floor!
We’ve known Spotify has been working on mobile apps for a while now, but we thought the first one we’d be seeing would be Spotify for iPhone. Out of the blocks first though is the official Spotify Android app, demoed for the first time at Google’s I/O event in San Francisco yesterday.
You can see the Spotify Android app running in the video below. It’s still a work in progress but Spotify already seems to have nailed the UI, with big friendly album covers, and the features. The Spotify Android app will work over 3G, but it’ll also cache songs you request so you can listen when you’re out of signal too.
Best of all, the Spotify Android app works with the Spotify desktop client, letting you drag and drop tracks for preloading. We’ll be getting more details on the Spotify Android app and other versions for mobile in “the coming weeks and months” according to Spotify, so stay tuned and enjoy the video.
