It took months of tests and research, talking to users, and gathering feedback. Since the desktop experience served as the original window to the world for Spotify, this was not a task we took lightly.
That’s why, starting today, we’re rolling out a new improved look and feel for the Spotify app for desktop and web- aligning the experience and making both easier to use than ever before. Yet along the way, we felt that our desktop app experience hadn’t kept up, and that it was time for a change. We constantly test, develop, and launch new features, optimize for new devices, and look to expand our content offering. At Spotify, we’re always looking for ways to provide the best possible experience so our listeners can consistently discover and enjoy music and podcasts-and that includes look, feel, and functionality.
