My Question or Issue

I can no longer make my library take up the entire view window after the latest spotify update.
The new views are cluttered and make it hard for me to find the music I want to listen to.
I practically only ever listen to full albums from my library and maybe this view doesn't effect playlist listeners as heavily.

I have been a power user of Spotify for years now and this update is making me consider unsubscribing and moving to a competing service.

Hey @javaraccoon,

Thanks for reaching out and for sharing your feedback!
Could let us know more about what bothers you with the current view? We would also appreciate it if you could send us a screenshot so that we can take a look if maybe something isn't broken on your end and is not being displayed correctly 🙂

We'll be on the lookout for your response!

Hi Vasil,
Thanks for your reply.

Here is a screenshot, this is as big as I can make the Library portion of the window,
I used to have the album tiles able to fill my screen.

I actually rather like the redesign, just not the loss in functionality!
Though the "now playing" sidebar seems to pop up unprompted regularly - but I assume thats a bug.

I'd just really like to be able to expand my library.

Cheers,
-Java

Hi there @javaraccoon,

Thanks for the response.

We can confirm that this UI is still being tested. At Spotify, we're often testing new features and improvements. We'll happily pass your feedback onto the appropriate team.

If you need a hand with anything else, the Community is here for you.

I have the same complaint has javaraccoon. The new UI is a disaster and I will not be continuing my subscription to spotify if I cannot view a list of albums, playlists, etc on the entire screen.
