R.I.P old interface

Desktop now removes ui.experience_override="classic" if you add it to the prefs file. Seems we are stuck with this awful UI and no recognition from Spotify of the overwhelming amount of complaints raised against it. Time to look at what the competition is offering I guess.

Hey @hamsteroj,

What do you dislike about the new UI if I may ask?

Cheers,

Maurice

- No quick search bar

- Album list isn't fully loaded, need to scroll till end to see them all

- When you click and then exit from viewing an album's tracklist, it takes you back to the top of the list, not where you left off. Really annoying especially since its so much work to scroll through an album list already.

- Always crashing or lagging

text too large if you use it on a large screen

Love it when Rockstars are oblivious to what's happening over here: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Community-Blog/The-New-Desktop-App/bc-p/5215591#M20672

When it is the place they are sending people to raise issues about the new UI.
