[Desktop][Your Library] Bring Back Separate Song Title and Artist

[Frostman233]

Not sure who thought it was a great idea to reformat how one can view songs by artist or by title...? It is much more convenient to have the two, side by side, while viewing a library rather than only being able to view the artist name or song name under the other...

Honestly, this is such a horrible feature of the re-design. PLEASE fix this immediately, or at least provide the option to have separate artists tabs again. I have playlists that have 1000s of songs, and it's impossible to find where one artist stops and another begins. 

[Dalumbr]

Artist tab and an option to have a simple list view (like every other decent media player).

I've never cared about albums, if I want to see what an album is like I'll go to it, what I care about is the song and maybe the artist, I do not need to see the album covers and half as many songs in the UI because of them.

List view and artist tab. You know what people want, you know they're willing to go to other services. Why aren't you patching this immediately? I managed a crappy UI in a software course in high school, adding a tab isn't hard, nor is optionally removing a column.

Using the limited precious space to show the album in a playlist is such a dumb idea, why do I need to constantly see this? Let us have the old view back.

Embarrassing

Agreed, why does spotify keep getting rid of features that worked great?

[Mmaxwell7281]

I can honestly picture a bunch of designers sitting in a room patting themselves on the back for this. 

How about if we remove all of this... doesn't that look 'cleaner'... yes, yes it does! Engineer in the back of the room rolling his eyes.

[Vaiho]

Pls bring back the artist column!

I would prefer to go back to the previous version altogether. Such in inconsistent mess on the desktop, try it fullscreen  on a 27" iMac, it looks horrible.

Hello Spotify....

Hello....

Hello..........
Are you hearing us...?
Are you reading us....?

Is there any response from your side visible somewhere....? (apart from the automated 'Kudo's' and 'Good suggestion')

If there is any thought from your side on this matter  - where can I find this?

Is there a place I have been overlooking where I can get in contact with you?

Again, this whole community thing... - its primary function seems to let people have a hard-to-find place to talk to each other, while actually they want to communicatie with you - Spotify.
argh...

(speaking of hard-to-find: I can't believe that out of millions of users only 795 people have a negative opinion on the deleting of the artist column)
