Desktop Version of Spotify to Undergo Home Screen Makeover, Prayers Answered
Freshening Up the Desktop Experience: Spotify's New Look
Spotify's announcement earlier this week has hinted at a revamp of its desktop app, following the refresh of its mobile experience. As a frequent computer user, I often find the homepage on Spotify to be a messy and overwhelming mix of repetitive tunes, questionable recommendations, and neglected playlists.
Luckily, Spotify has been busy working behind the scenes, researching and testing new designs. On Thursday, they revealed that their new desktop and web designs will boast a cleaner look, more control, and similar features to those found on the mobile app.
Starting with playlists, users will now have the ability to upload images and write descriptions. A new search bar has been added for effortless music and podcast finding. Meanwhile, a handy drop-down menu will allow listeners to sort through content with ease. And let's not forget about the long-awaited feature for those of us who occasionally lose ourselves in lyric searches: a recently played list and the ability to edit your queue.
The search bar is now conveniently located on the left-hand side of the navigation page. Users can easily reach radio stations for their favorite artists or songs by clicking the "..." button. Premium subscribers can now download their playlists for offline listening using a prominent, redesigned download button.
The new design will gradually roll out to both free and premium users, beginning today, with a widespread release expected in the coming weeks.
While no definitive information about recent updates and announcements regarding Spotify's new desktop and web design is available, we can draw on precedents to anticipate some enhancements. Expect upgrades like streamlined navigation, improved discovery features, better personalization and recommendations, enhanced integration with third-party apps and devices, and potentially even better audio quality and streaming performance. Stay tuned for more updates from Spotify as they continue to improve their platform and stay ahead in the streaming market.
