Is there a built-in means of finding each week's new releases? I'm spoiled by Rdio's comprehensive list of new releases, and I can't seem to find an equivalent in Spotify.

Here is the official Spotify New Releases playlist:

Well, that didn't take long:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/29/spotify-sued-by-packetvideo-for-patent-infringement/

A “Device for the distribution of music information in digital form.” could cover pretty much anything music / streaming related.

^^^Are you using the new client, the one with the apps?

Can't seem to get it working either.

Is there a way to play a playlist in the iPhone mobile app WITHOUT shuffle?

Sometimes I just want to listen to an album all the way through, and I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

...don't click shuffle? It will play playlist songs in order unless you specifically hit shuffle.

Doesn't seem to work. I click the first track, it starts playing. After it is finished, it plays a random track.

Can't seem to figure out how to toggle shuffle. Clicking the icon doesn't work (just starts the shuffle function again)

Edit: found it!
Can't do it in the playlist window, or even in the regular playback options...

While a track is playing, press the "i" in the top left corner. In the screen that appears, there is a shuffle toggle.

Now they put me back with the 'Discover' tab :argh:

I learned you can type tag:new into the search box to bring up all additions to the catalog. It looks like no results were found but at the top it shows the albums.

Cool! Otherwise I would never have found out that "Mozart for babies" was a thing: spotify:album:1NbxBhYOVPuQsbq4gs1p5G
Also available in "Beethoven" flavour: spotify:album:5HXpS67RRDanzihBu4u3Te

I think that the Spotify app is a bit slow with giving memory space back to the phone. After setting the playlist back to streaming, you might want to run something like PhoneClean to get rid of the cache files.

You could also try the following playlist. It features nearly 4000 tracks, so you'll probably find something to your liking:

Is there any way to change the default font of the playlist view?

I follow a playlist that is about 4000 songs long. The program only shows 22 track names on a page, making searching quite hard.

It's often with long (10 min+) tracks that they are not even available on Spotify, so as a premium subscriber I welcome this new option.

Me neither. Maybe it's a regional thing, since we're all from The Netherlands?
