Zinio and Rolling Stone have announced today that they're teaming up to release a new, interactive edition of the "Rolling Stone: 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" special edition, via the free Zinio App for the iPad, which can be downloaded from the App Store. The interactive edition enables fans to sample and buy music with a swipe of their finger. They can read about the likes of Beyonce, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Aretha Franklin, and at the same time preview and purchase the Rolling Stone Special Collectors Edition's song recommendations via iTunes.

"Our 500 Greatest Songs of All Time is the ultimate playlist for any music fan. These are all the songs you need to have on your iPad. The issue also features the stories behind each song, plus photos from the Rolling Stone archive. With Zinio, you can listen to the songs while you read, giving our audience an exciting way to experience the list." ​
