icons in playlist

[tourmi]

Suddenly my long column of playlists is all out of order and full of thumbnails instead of just words. How do I get rid of the thumbnails and just go back to the names, and why did they suddenly go out of order?

Hi @tourmi!

You're seeing an experimental UI that Spotify is testing. If you would like to keep the thumbnails, you can change the order of your playlists by performing the following:

1. Set the Filter to Playlists.
2. Set the sort order to Custom order.

You should now be able to drag & drop playlists outside of your folders as well as change their order.

Here's how to get it as close as possible to the old sidebar:

In the left "Your Library" sidebar, click on the "Playlists" filter.

Then, in the sort drop down select "Custom order". You will then see your previous playlist order and be able to reorganize your playlists (move playlists and folders like before)

Your current preference will be remembered each time you start up the Spotify desktop app.

If you would like to only see text in the Your Library sidebar, go to the Spotify app Settings ---> Library ---> and select "use compact library".

You can also drag the left sidebar to different sizes, as well as fully expand the sidebar by clicking the arrow button, and fully collapse the sidebar by clicking on the "Your Library" heading.

Thank you very much for helping me solve this problem!

Wow apparently Spotify has no connection with the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" theory.

"Custom Order" does not show in the list, all the other in your picture do
