How about an ACTUAL Changelog? Too much trouble?? The "we're always improving..." just doesn't cut it.

Is there like a mini player feature that takes out the unnecessary information and just shows the track info (time,artist,album...etc)

Currently, when you login to your account and navigate to “Offline Devices”, Spotify displays all our devices as “iPhone”.  So if you have a laptop,  iPad Pro, iPhone 6, iPhone 7, and an iPad Air as offline devices, there is no way to tell which device is which.

I have the maximum of five (5) devices attached to my account (two iPads, two iPhones, and one laptop).  When I upgraded my wife’s iPad recently, there was no way for me to distinguish WHICH device on the list was her old iPad, since they all show up as “iPhone”.

As a result, I had to remove all the devices and add the current 4 back in in addition to her new iPad.  That resulted in having to download all the music on all the existing offline devices once again.

It would be great if the Spotify Tech Team would allow us to rename each of the offline devices so we can identify them (“iPhone 6”, 
“iPhone 8”, “iPad Pro”, "iPad Air", etc.).  That way, when an older device is removed for a new one, it would be easy to distinguish which device to remove from “Offline Devices”.

It would be great if we could change a playlist picture from our own mobile device!
