We even have playlists for different moods, so regardless of whether you need an upbeat boost or something more relaxing to wind down to - we've got just the thing. You can also browse through a collection of our top lists and check out new releases.Rolling out to all mobile users from today, Spotify's new Browse page offers carefully chosen playlists for every moment of your day, handpicked by our experts.

- Music for every moment: We've got just the right tunes for your morning commute, the party tonight, and the hangover tomorrow.

Spotify originally launched on the iPhone in September 2009 for a handful of European countries where the service was offered, with a U.S. launch following in July 2011. An iPad version of Spotify launched in May 2012 as the service's iOS app went universal, and the app holds a four and a half star rating across all versions, with over 228,000 reviews in the App Store. The iOS version also offers a 48-hour free trial of Spotify Premium, as well as free radio streaming for U.S. users.
