Okay Spotify, this is your portrait layout. Notice the excellent use of space, nothing is wasted.

This is your landscape layout. Notice the tiny art and wasted space...

Now look at this mockup.  Isn't this a lot better?

Landscape on the iPhone at all would be nice too!

Spotify on the iPhone doesn't have landscape mode at all? Wow, I guess I should stop complaining. 🙂

It gets even worse in list views, less than half of screen is available for actual items — two rows, which makes scrolling a tedious jobIMG_12072011_160023.png.

Buying an Android head unit for Spotify turned out to be not such a good idea...

I have just realized that OP is about Now Playing. Should I post the above as a separate idea?

@vadimbz , let's keep all feedback about layout issues in portrait mode in this thread: it'll be easier for developers if it's all in one place. 🙂

Ok that's great for righties but lefties would have to reach their thumbs all the way across the screen. What if they put the album art behind everything and blurred it out a bit?
