Thanks for the iPad App!

Just wanted to drop in and say thanks for the iPad app release today! It was a long wait, but the app appears to be well done. Crossfade, nice layout, good color scheme, etc. Thanks, Spotify!

Solved!! Where is Artist Info links in new iPad app

In the iPhone version you can jump from any playing track to songs from its artist or its album. This does not exist in the iPad app. This is an important feature and must be added.
