Spotify changes its player to facilitate playback queues
Table of contents:
When we listen to lists on Spotify, it is quite common to change the order of the list, to see what song is coming next or, even, to be listening to any musical theme within the streaming platform and want to add it to the play queue. These very basic movements of editing a list at the moment or checking what songs it is made up of, what we commonly know as the 'play queue' is not as visible on the Spotify interface as we would like.We have to enter the internal three-point menu, located in the player window and there, among other options, we have to go to the queue or add to the queue.
New playback window on Spotify
In the images we can clearly see how Spotify's interface is today in relation to the management of playback queues . Nothing intuitive for a function that is used so much every day.
We could also access the playback queue in a icon located in the upper right corner, a place perhaps a bit awkward for the that you are used to using your terminal with one hand.
A clearer and cleaner interface
Well, thanks to Android Police we have learned that Spotify has gotten down to work to solve this small inconvenience in an update that will come, however, internally from Spotify's servers and not through a downloadable file from the Play Store. According to the source, the three-dot menu button would now be located in the place where the queue icon used to be, since it is a menu that we do not usually go to too often and, instead, the one corresponding to the queue would go. Of reproduction. These images bear witness to it.
But it not only changes the situation of some icons in the playback window to facilitate the work of users. If we look closely at the images, we see that the controls have increased in size and thicknessAlso, the name of the artist and the song are now much more visible and have moved, now being on one side of the player. In addition, as a novelty, a heart icon appears to add the song to favorites, instead of the usual '+' sign that we found on the left (in the previous screenshot already added to favorites, that's why it appears with a green check).
There are also changes in the interface of some special playlists such as the one that shows the most current songs of the moment, known as 'Release Radar'. The playback window will adopt Spotify's new aesthetic line, with larger controls, the title larger and to the right, and two new appearances: the 'like' icon to leave the song on the news list and I don't like prohibited icon to remove the song from the list.In addition, if we enter the menu of this special playlist we can see, at the top, three new controls for shuffle, repeat and play queue.
All these changes are already being seen by some Spotify users but still they haven't reached everyone. Remember that this is a direct update from servers and you will not have to go to the Play Store to see the changes.
