Since the comments from the "official" feedback thread are no longer shows up in the "latest comments" section, i'm starting this thread so people can share their feedback and spotify team can ignore it once again.
Nice one. Thanks, going to repost some previous posts in the hope they get some visibility:

My Question or Issue(s)
1: Text and icons are not smooth:
Previous UI for comparison:
2: Double copyright notices on bottom of albums:
3: Album view is cluttered with repeated information and "Discs" don't show up anymore:
Why are you showing the artist name in the album for the artist over and over and over. It's a waste of space.
Previous UI for comparison:
4: Removed minimum dimension restrictions results in broken UI. You've removed min-width and that's not very clever:
Old UI for comparison (had restrictions)
5: Create playlist flow is broken. Creating a new playlist adds it offscreen and not focused. You have to find it then edit it to specify a name. I don't have screenshot of that as there is nothing to capture. But just so you remember what it should be like, here is the old UI:
6: Can't delete the final song from a playlist. Selecting remove from playlist results in refresh and song still there.
7: When trying to add song to a playlist the scrolling does not go all the way to the bottom and playlists are cut off or not accessible. I've noticed it happens when right clicking on the 4th song of albums when scrolled to the top.
8: Artist info is in the worst location possible and to make things worse the mouse pointer does not change to indicate it is clickable. Why don't you want people learning more about an artist? Do you have to pay them more?
9: Play button not circular. Not sure if this is by design, but the simple fact the other icons are suggests it should be:
10: Blank playlist name, even though you can't add a blank playlist
11. This is not a bug but a simple question WHY SO MUCH BLANK SPACE
These are just a small bucnh of bugs I've found. This does not include the horrible UX design choices they've made. Those can be found in the THOUSANDS of complaints over here:

The fact that users are willing to jump through multi-stage hoops to get AWAY from the updated version of Spotify says a lot. Unfortunately I'm sure Spotify either won't hear, or doesn't care.
To whomever at Spotify monitors this thread (and the main thread for Desktop feedback),
What many of us really want are updates that let us know which items in the laundry list are being addressed, which are being researched, and which have firmly been determined to no longer be possible. There's been such little feedback in return after asking the customers/clients/users to provide the fieldwork, beta testing, and basic QA.
The notes at the top of the thread haven't been updated since April 16th. That's 54 days as of this post. Please, it's not discourteous or disrespectful of those people working on this project for those who are also working on the project, just from the client end.
We want to know which items are being addressed and what items will be in those rollouts. It feels like we're blundering along in the dark. No one wants that. Please, some kind of official updates would be appropriate and welcome.

surprised they havent shut this down like every other thread criticizing the horrible ui. maybe instead of ignoring and censoring users the spotify pr team should listen and pass along the legitimate complaints listed here.
Every time I receive a new desktop update, the first BUG I check to see if it's been fixed is: copy-paste local tracks doesn't work. So far, it's still a BUG.
Reposting because I do not doubt that a Green will be in here to close the thread. Might be the only time Green eyes are forced to read feedback.

Honestly, I just want to use Foobar to access my Spotify library. Or MusicBee. Or WinAmp. I'd take Windows Media Player circa Windows XP at this point.
I really despise the direction your design team is taking. I think that it looks like another cheap, generic, attention-grabbing social media app that is unsure whether it's for desktops, tablets, or phones. I see these changes as a compromise between the design maxims of these platforms made at the expense of an enormous loss of functionality and an enormous waste of screen real-estate.
Please go back to the 2014 design or, in the alternative, redirect your design team towards opening Spotify to UI modding and plugins.
Bump.
Bump again, cuz nothing changed since this thread was created.
