Spotify debuts a new UI just for tablets

Spotify has a new look today for listeners on tablets. The streaming service’s updated tablet UI now provides adaptive orientation, switching between portrait and landscape layouts rather than simply resizing the interface when changing how the device is held.

Spotify’s tablet app now sports a collapsible sidebar so listeners can take advantage of their larger screen space when watching a music video or podcast. Parallel browsing lets you continue to scroll through the app while a video or lyrics are in the sidebar, and the “switch to video” toggle has been made more prominent.

The new design had appeared for some users earlier this year during tests. The final version is rolling out today for both iPad and Android devices.
