APP OF THE WEEK: Spotify - iPad Version

Music lovers, pay attention! Spotify, the world's most popular music-streaming service have finally launched their long-awaited iPad app, giving tablet users even more chance to listen to their favourite tunes for free!

If you've been living under a rock for the past couple of years, Spotify acts like a virtual media library, giving you access to millions of fully-licensed tracks from massive acts like Adele and One Direction, to smaller indie artists and labels.


The app itself is a huge step up from the original iPhone release, letting you browse through your top tracks and favourite artists slickly and easily. You could even use your iPad as a home stereo or wirelessly play your music through Apple AirPlay-enabled speakers!


Lucky enough to have an iPad? Download the app here!

Another chance to win!

If you weren't so lucky the last time we tried to give something away, the competition gods have smiled on you! As our last winner didn't manage to get in contact with us within the allotted time, we're being forced to do a re-roll!

Well, we can't have a ton of sweeties and awesome electronics clogging up our office forever, can we?!

Imagine this, but with Apple gadgets

To get in with a chance to win, keep an eye on our recently reinvented Facebook page as we'll be announcing the details of the redraw very soon! (As in, by the end of this week!)

Good luck!
