Spotify introduces new gesture command 'Touch Preview'

PanARMENIAN.Net - Spotify has introduced a new gesture command to its iOS application called 'Touch Preview', Digital Spy reports.

Users can now taste test songs, albums and playlists by holding their finger down on the screen, and save tracks into the 'Your Music' section with a simple swipe.

Music will begin playing as soon as the user presses down on the screen, and tracks can be cycled through by dragging a finger across the display.

Once the preview has ended, Spotify will take the user back to where they left off in their previous session.

"For decades, music fans have had to rely on a rather clumsy way of scanning through songs, albums and playlists," said Sten Garmark, VP of Product at Spotify.

"With Touch Preview we're taking music discovery to the next level, offering our listeners a unique and entirely new way of finding out what to listen to. It means less time looking for the perfect music, and more time actually listening to it."

Spotify's Touch Preview and other new gesture commands are now available on iOS, and will be rolled out to other platforms in the near future.
