“Having followed news of the service’s interface overhaul, aka the Tik-Tok-ification of Spotify, I was aware I would be seeing something different,” wrote one disgruntled user. “But I wasn’t prepared for just how different the app would appear, and how out-of-step this new version is with the core mission of music delivery provided by the best music streaming services.”
Some have called for Spotify to prioritize upgrades to its music library, including Lossless and High-Res music and Spatial Audio offerings, which they say would be a more meaningful update for music lovers. However, Spotify has confirmed that it has no plans to introduce these features.
