Spotify, the popular music streaming platform, is set to revolutionize the desktop experience for its users with a major revamp. The redesigned Your Library and Now Playing view aims to provide a seamless and immersive way to explore, curate, listen to, and organize music on computers and web browsers.
Artist information, such as Tour Dates & Merchandise will be more easily accessible
While retaining the main content area as the central hub for browsing and discovering recommended songs and podcasts, Spotify has introduced several new additions to align the desktop experience with its mobile app. On the left-hand side of the application window, users will find the new Your Library, offering quick access to their saved music and podcast collections. Initial feedback suggests that the new Library saves time, provides a better overview, and facilitates effortless switching between playlists.
On the right-hand side, the Now Playing view prominently displays the currently playing song or podcast. Additionally, users can access more information about the track and artist, including tour dates and merchandise, making it easier to connect with favorite artists and discover more about them. For select podcasts, listeners can even follow along with transcripts while they listen.
The redesigned Your Library and Now Playing views offer individually customizable designs, providing a richer experience, more context, and quicker access to personal favorites. The aim is to enhance user engagement and satisfaction with the desktop application.
Spotify offers valuable tips to enhance the desktop experience. Users can go compact by collapsing the library view to see only playlist icons. The new Library design allows for easy search and filtering within users’ personal collection. Customization options are available, allowing users to resize Your Library and Now Playing according to their preferences. Additionally, playlists can be pinned, moved, and songs can be conveniently added through drag-and-drop functionality. These tips empower users to optimize their Spotify desktop experience and make the most of the redesigned features.
The new Your Library and Now Playing design will begin rolling out to all Spotify Desktop users worldwide today. Users are encouraged to try out the enhanced experience by launching their own music, or signature Spotify playlists on their desktop or web browsers.
