Spotify’s revamped desktop app lets you browse and organize your libraries like you do on mobile

Spotify is updating its desktop experience with redesigned “Your Library” and “Now Playing” interfaces, the company announced on Tuesday. The new changes are designed to align Spotify’s desktop experience with its mobile app. Now you can explore, browse and organize your libraries like you do in the company’s mobile app.

On the left side of the app window, you’ll find “Your Library,” which gives you quick access to your saved music and podcast collections. The company says that initial tests have shown that users have found the new library useful for saving time and allowing them to switch between playlists more easily.

“On the right side of the app, you’ll find the Now Playing view, which displays the current song or podcast you’re listening to,” the company wrote in a blog post. “You can also find more information about the song and the artist here, as well as information on tour dates and merchandise which makes it easier to connect with your favorite artists and find out more about them. For select podcasts, you can even follow transcripts as you listen.

Spotify says these changes provide more context and faster access to personal favorites. The new Your Library and Now Playing interfaces will begin rolling out to all desktop users worldwide starting today, the company says.

Today’s announcement comes alongside news that Trevor Noah is launching a new weekly original podcast on the streaming service. The podcast will launch later this year and will feature “in-depth, freewheeling conversations between Trevor and some of the most influential and interesting figures from around the world.” The news comes just days after Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, parted ways on Spotify.
