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

Submitted by on ‎2021-03-31 07:45 PM
Status: implemented

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...

Hey folks,

 

Thanks for coming to the Spotify Idea Exchange and voting to make this happen.

 

We're happy to announce that a Compact mode which hides the album art and displays the song's title and artist under two separate columns in playlists and albums is now available on the desktop app and the Web Player! Check out @MattSuda's post here for a detailed overview.

 

Once again, thanks for helping us make Spotify better by participating here on the Community 💚

Does anybody get this working for the Album list view under Discography?      I can't seem to find the option for compact anywhere in that view?

 

It works fine for a single album, but seems to be missing for that view.

 

This is kind of annoying, because this is where I mainly browse and it would benefit a lot by this.

Also, the selection of compact mode seems to be the same for playlists and albums which is strange.

 

For a playlist it can make sense to show the album graphics as the songs comes from different albums.

 

For an album (or discography) view it is not really meaningful to allocate that space as everything is for the album displayed just above the list.

 

So in essence, this should be updated to have a different compact-state for playlists vs albums (+fixing the compact view for discography mode).
