Spotify starts showing YouTube-style music videos
Table of contents:
Subscribers of any of Spotify's premium modalities have woken up with surprises. Surprises that are aimed at making this application a more audiovisual experience and not just being a regular music player. Already in March, those responsible for it warned that they had begun to try to include videos in their lists. Said and done, we already have the first exclusive video on Spotify.
Selena Gomez premieres music videos on Spotify
Do you want to compete with YouTube? Obviously not. Music videos come to Spotify to increase the user experience. Selena Gomez's video corresponds to her new single in two years, 'Bad Liar' and is shot in vertical format Therefore, it is a video intended exclusively , for mobile consumption.
If you want to see the new music video on Spotify, log into your account and go to the Today's Pop Hits playlist We can also find it on another list they have called 'Selena Gomez – Bad Liar'. We do not know if, as more videos are included, they will all go in the same list, to play them automatically. We suppose that's the idea: to have a video list with exclusive Spotify clips.
For now, we can only share the music videos on Spotify to other social media or add to queue to watch next.We hope that, in future updates, they implement the possibility to download the clips to watch them later offline It would be great to have a list of music and video without incurring an expense of extra data.
Change of design
In addition, this same list has changed its design. The 'Today's Pop Hits' list, compiled by media professionals at Spotify, now features another playback screen. When we listen to a song on the list, the cover occupies the entire screen, as we see in the screenshot above. If we click once, we can see the pause, forward and backward control. A new, more attractive design that we hope will soon be implemented in the rest of the lists.
