For the Record announced the latest changes to Spotify's PC experience for all of its platforms, centering on a UI upgrade that refreshes the audio streaming company's offers. For one, the app would feature three main parts on the home page, with the layout featuring more of its side tabs available to the public.

Spotify said that it retained the design for the central hub, the one where the user's feed, recommended songs, recently opened albums, and more are situated. The player on the bottom remains in its place, but the right-hand side of the desktop view will anchor a "Now Playing" feature that will display additional information about the song, artist, upcoming tours, or merch for the public.

Additionally, the left side's "Your Library" also gets a spotlight for better access to one's saved Playlists, collections, Podcasts, and more.

Your Library and Now Playing's larger and anchored positioning aims to make one's Spotify experience better, with more focus on their audio listening experience and managing their feeds.

Spotify also recently had a revamp of its mobile apps as it centers to feature a TikTok-like experience on the app, with several app navigation experiences resembling the famed social media. The revamp comes as a significant way to change how people browse and discover their feeds, along with the Smart Shuffle feature, and more.

The desktop revamp is massive, especially as Spotify aims to offer a more intuitive design and UI for its subscribers, bringing a fresh experience for all.
