Spotify's Touch Preview lets you sample new songs quickly
Spotify has a long history of spitting out new and interesting features from week-long hackathons. It tells its employees to forget their normal jobs, tackle a problem and solve it in a creative way. The "Top Tracks" feature that debuted last month was born of a hackathon and now, thanks to another week of blowing off of their regular responsibilities, the company has Touch Preview: a feature designed to aid in the lost art of music discovery. Touch Preview is is exactly what it sounds like -- touch and hold a song, playlist or album and you'll get a 30-second preview.
