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?

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

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!
