Spotify Desktop app gets a new look and upgraded library features | Engadget
Spotify has updated the desktop app with plenty of visual improvements and new features, like a “now playing” view that gives you immediate access to merchandise and tour dates.

Yay! Another enshittified product to replace with a federated one! @funkwhale here I come …

It gets worse every update

Yep! I left a while ago and moved to Tidal. I've been relatively happy with it so far.

Spotify is peak change for the sake of change. They like tinkering with the UI for no discernible reason.

Fidgety corporate ADHD. Constantly breaking things that used to work and now they don't, all across the extended ecosystem (such as Alexa). Some assholes trying to justify their salary as the clueless and mesmerized suits go along with it, this is "metrics" anti-culture they've created. High-fiving themselves and giving themselves bonuses, for making things palpably enshittified.
It also sounds kinda like Lucas with the Original Trilogy.

So tired of Spotify changing shit up constantly. I would’ve switched to Apple Music a long time ago if they’d just implement Chromecast support on their damn iOS app (doubt it will ever happen). Everyone on my family plan is too invested in Chromecasts/Google Speakers to swap over to AppleTVs/HomeHubs

I despise the new library view, I cannot just double click my playlist folder to start playing anymore, I have to right click and go down to the play option now... Also feels very massive like it wasnt made for a mouse pointer. If it were up to me i'd revert to the old one in a heartbeat.

Sounds like a good time to switch to resonate. There's (sadly) not that many artists there yet, but the pricing model is really cool (and doesn't exploit tne artists as much). And I guess the only way a platform like this will get more artists, is if it gets more listeners :)

I'll add to the minority that likes those changes. I don't use the desktop version that often and was pleasantly surprised :D I like having the library on the side. Especially that I do have quite a wide screen.
-
Dont forget that Spotify abuses its market position by basically milking smaller artists dry.
Does anybody know of a good alternative that doesnt involve either storing hundreds of albums on CD or piracy?

Qobuz and Tidal are less evil than Spotify and support higher quality audio, but also have smaller selections. Where practical I'll buy albums I like on FLAC from Bandcamp or HDtracks but it is also nice to have a streaming service for discovering new stuff.
