In this article, we explain how to use Spotify web player and lay out the pros and cons of web Spotify versus Spotify desktop app. You can either install a desktop app or access your music collection in a browser. There are two major ways to do Spotify on Mac.
For a good reason! Its huge music catalogue, continuous UI improvements, and top-notch personalization make the service one of the best places where you can discover, play, and curate your music. TLDR: the web player now looks so much better (imo), and I think it's close to be ready for the desktop app update, unlike the A/B test they did 6 months ago when it looked and behaved so terribly bad.In the recent years, Spotify reaped lots of accolades. If they can bring this with the functionalities of the desktop app (local files, playlist management, downloads, friends bar, + all the settings), I think it'd hands-down be the best music app on computer overall. All it's mainly missing now is playlists ordering / searching / renaming ( seems like it's coming), autoplay, crossfade, and some minor stuff. Personally, I think that's a big deal and that makes me not even want to use the desktop app anymore, it's so dated and bad looking (+ bugs like queue taking 10s to show, weird homepage card UI, etc). Insanely fast in general, no waiting for anything to load, it's a pleasure to use (those who tried Apple or YouTube Music will understand the importance)
No lazy-loading, all playlists fully load right away, even with thousands of songs, instantly scrollable Here's a small album of the new design, and a small list of the main features that have been added since:Īlbum artworks everywhere (search, playlists, queue, liked songs, etc)Īt-a-glance like button everywhere (same places) Well don't get me wrong, these are often true.īut can we actually appreciate how refined the web player now looks? It's been about half a year since Spotify started testing the web player design into the desktop app to give it a fresh look, and everybody got furious for how horrible it was (can you actually believe this is how it used to look like?) - this is why they started reverting all of this and work on the web player first.įast forward to today, just 6 months later : it looks and behaves infinitely better, more modern and mature. So I've seen a lot of complaints about Spotify for bugs, bad design, slow to adapt.
