Why was the queue moved to the right instead of the center?

[iceman42dave]

My playlist queue used to be in the center column on the desktop app. Now it has moved to the right column and I really hate it there. How do I move it back to the center?
THIS IS NOT, IN ANY WAY, "SOLVED".

Left as idea in https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Return-expanded-queue-view-not-only-sidebar-for-desktop-as-it/idi-p/5924728#M283914

So please vote if you want it back as well 😊

I don't think they're ever going to change back. The top of the center column now defaults to a "Sponsored Playlist" advertisement. I can see doing this for the Free accounts (like mine), but it sucks for the people who pay for it, expecting an ad-free experience, and yet having one of their beloved key features taken away from them for the sake of posting an ad.

I had to activate my community account to post here, and it's all because I can't just see the queue. I had been using the web version and then recently subbed up because I liked the auto Playlist better than YouTube music. installed the app for a better experience and it's so bad and annoying that I'm looking for a new solution.  maybe Plex with Tidal. or as much as I hate to say it, back back to YouTube music, even though their downgrades from Google play music are atrocious as well.

why don't these companies get it?

Tip: If you're using the Flatpak version on Linux, you can downgrade one version to have the original queue view back! Run this:

sudo flatpak update --commit=9eb82ec8c70583f08d33590430ec1f5261c4f1105522e2b00bb209e9bc7b7fc1 com.spotify.Client

new to spotify,  queue on right sucks

[rednblu]

Yes!  Welcome to the forum!

So obviously wrong where Spotify put the queue and sized it-- If you ever actually use Spotify-- the queue should obviously be in the middle and have the most space when you are using it!

Wanted to add my dislike to the queue on the right and not available in the center.

HATE IT!

Hey, Spicetify users, is there really no way to get in touch with the creators of the app? I installed it basically for just one reason - to have the queue back in the center. I browsed through the other options, but haven't found anything of interest. So I thought I'd suggest two functionalities I'd love to have back (the previous version of the app, the one that was perfect, had those functionalities). I have no clue if it's possible to implement them, but it's worth a try. But I can't find any contact option. I wanted to post something on Reddit, but I can't because I don't have enough XP or something. What kind of nonsense is this? How are newbies supposed to get help if they can't post? This reminds me of Shallow Grave: "I usually don't meet people, unless I already know them."

Please change this back. It is so annoying, I really want to see the queue, and know the details of the song on the right side. Thus change doesn't make sense and should be reverted back.

(this is said in a very annoyed way.)

This is no answer.

[JimBel]

I totally agree, this is not solved at all !

[jcohen42]

If the message Spotify intends to send is that they do not care about user feedback, consider that message received. I switched off of Spotify Premium about a year ago and I do not regret it in the slightest.

Unfortunately something seems to be changed in the experimental features so even with Spicetify I am not able to show the queue in the middle anymore 😞

[iceman42dave]

Who in the **bleep** marked this as a "solution"?? I sure didn't. And it didn't solve anything. It's not only not a solution, it's not even an answer.

Tiny (bad) queue view has come back, please spotify at least give the option for a fullscreen queue view, i like to have the now playing tab or the friends tab open at the same time as the queue view, and it's also easier to manage when bigger sized

[etacarinae]

This sucks. Busy work UX changes are a bane on the world.
