Spotify for Mac Redesign

[mac_head]

I was just wondering if Spotify has quitly been rolling out a new design on Mac – didn't read anything about it...Do you guys have the new design as well and – if so – is there a way to go back?

I just noticed it myself this morning, and didn't like it. I was pretty much able to go back to the old look. I don't remember everything I did but there's an option in Settings called Use Compact Library Layout, then I changed the sort order for my playlists to Custom. The one thing I really wish they would have added would be trackpad swipe control, which they didn't. Now that would have been actually useful.

Thanks! You just saved my day wasn’t a fan of the new UI either, it feels that it’s really made for touch interaction, nothing you want to interact with with a mouse

Spotify seems so inconsistent in terms of how/where it does UI updates. Different UI experience for IOS than for Android and it seems like MacOS always takes a back seat. I can't say I can understand it and I'm not a fan. For example, how you like and add songs to playlists on IOS vs Android, the experiences are worlds apart. I don't get it. Just glad I was able to get mostly back to where I was on the Mac version.
