Spotify's algorithm already makes it hard to bust out of certain "genre loops" as I like to call them. Let's return to my idea of choice and wanting to discover new songs. The new interface sticks you in a never ending loop. Overall, this made it far more easier to discover new playlists or releases from artists you love.Ĥ. The new interface presents you with one option at a time, whereas the old interface provided you with multiple options/genres/playlists all at the glance of an eye. Time and time again, people dare ask the question of if choice matters to humans, and the answer is always unequivocally yes. I like finding new music and not just listening to the same old stuff.ģ. Often times I end up just searching for whatever it is I'd like to listen to, but I really don't like this. I feel claustrophobic as I try to sift through playlists. Yet, the new interface is clunky and congested. The old interface was streamlined and everything had a place. Really, I find it easier to get to destinations within the app in the old interface as opposed to the new oneĢ.

It is far more streamlined and doesn't feel so clunky like the new mobile interface. I like this desktop version a lot more for a few reasons:ġ.

It used to be a lot more like the desktop interface in which there are several different genres of playlists you can sift through. It's more akin to TikTok now in that you scroll through playlists one at a time. I've noticed that the Spotify app on iOS has updated recently, and frankly the new user interface is horrid.
