Move the Library experience out of the side bar

[braedonsz]

The Idea Guidelines specify we can't request a rollback. So that's not what this is. I'd like to propose an exciting new update to the current interface: move the library out of the sidebar, and into the primary pane on the desktop application. Moving the library to the main pane will give more screen real estate to the primary function of Spotify: managing and enjoying a modern, digital music Library.

This new, exciting idea also keeps in mind the fact that laptops and desktops are not phones! This change would make good use of the extra screen size available to us while using the desktop experience, instead of repurposing a phone experience in a place it has no business being!

Lastly, this idea would also provide users the benefit of no longer screaming into the void while using Spotify in the future!

Please make this happen.

I 1-million percent agree with this *feature request*! Please protect Spotify from itself, who seems to be obsessed with making the user experience for music listeners worse with every product decision!

I've flipped on this. I like the new drill-down approach to navigating folders. It also allows for localized playlist title searching.

Wow, now this is a revolutionary idea! It would be nice to be able to see all of my artists that I've liked in a library that's larger than a couple inches wide. And we can get rid of all that useless noise like new episodes for podcasts I've never listened to (and never will listen to). It's like a 2 in 1 deal!
