After releasing a new update for the iOS app, Spotify is renovating its desktop, Mac and web apps starting today. In a blog post, Spotify says it is launching a “new look and feel for the desktop and web application – aligning the experience and making the two easier to use than ever before.”
Since the desktop experience served as the original window to the world for Spotify, this was not a task we took lightly on. It took months of testing and research, talking to users and gathering feedback. Now, we are pleased to offer a new, clean design, more controls and a great new foundation for our listeners to use Spotify in our desktop application and web player for years to come.
With a new home, Spotify is making it easier to access the content that matters most in your library and simplifying the creation of playlists with integrated search. Another feature introduced in its desktop version is the ability to drag and drop tracks directly into your playlist.

The redesigned experience of Spotify’s desktop and web applications makes features much easier to use, explains the company. Users can visit the Spotify browser page or download the Mac app here.
