Soooo what did you think about this redesign?

[owenleynes]

i just want them to stop enabling the goddamn smart shuffle when i literally didnt click it

[randomdamian]

Spotify Manager: "This is a nice design, so much sense it makes, you're fired"

[doddleoddle]

Spotify recently just updated their ui, and they have the search bar and the home icon on the top of the app now!

I'm so angry i clicked on this video because now I'm never gonna be able to open spotify and not cry at the fact that your redesign is not the actual app....

[LukasSmith]

I hope the Spotify frontend team watches this

[calyxkodiak]

The fact they switched shuffle and smart shuffle makes me enraged every time I use the app

[JeudyRp]

I was watching this video, and just out of curiosity, I opened Spotify and got a popup saying they updated the search bar haha.

The "most played" section for artists NEEDS to exist.

A single person did what a whole team couldn't

One thing I think Spotify does right is the pause/play button being in the centre, but aside from that, I'd love every change you made.

I ADORE your redesign. Happy to see that Spotify apparently watched this, since the home/search on top has now been included in the desktop app 🥳🥳

“Miss hearing” -> “mishearing” is such an amazingly layered joke.

I wish Spotify had a feature on the queue where it would tell you how long the queue you’ve made was in minutes so that you can build a suitable queue rather than just guessing the amount of songs you need.
Also, whenever you skip a song on a queue you’ve made by accident YOU CANT GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS SONG and then when you try and go back, you’ve messed up your entire queue and now you have to remake it if you can even remember.
Spotify fix your queue.

Adding to playlist instead of adding to favourites button is extremely accurate point

This is so validating. On "now playing" you've got too many icons, and a lot of them aren't standardized. "Cast" and "share" look the same on every other app, so just use those. "Shuffle, " "previous, " "pause/play, " "next, " and "loop" are easy, everyone knows those ones. Maybe we could solve the clarity problem by expanding the difficult to parse bottom icons when you scroll down into a vertical list with labels in case you're not sure. Once you get used to doing this you'll learn the controls. You've also got some text cut off behind "like" and "save, " this is easy to fix by just moving them down a row next to the band name. Most bands don't have some weird hipster name that stretches across the entire screen, so it's rare that will get cut off. I also feel like the queue should be in its own bar somewhere so I don't have to open "now playing" in order to get to it

This video is unironically worth at least a few million dollars, if not way more

[okok-gokg]

This made me realize how many issues I have with spotify that I just put up with because its the way i get music. This would be a million times better and would eliminate so much frustration.

It's crazy to me that this redesign is so good it really doesn't even need a back-end rewrite, because you basically just made all the buttons change places and rewrote the layouts.

Like this is actually doable for Spotify, although as is with many concepts, the companies will never go for them.
