this page is dedicated to pointing out stupid design flaws in Spotify’s user experience.
as a paying customer I’d expect it to be better but I guess they’re just not making enough money. what a poor, small company they are to be having these problems :(
“well then why are you paying them, liquidex?” unfortunately lots of music is only available (and UNAVAILABLE!) on Spotify, as seen on fuck DRM. from a consumer standpoint it’s also really nice for discovering new music, because you don’t have to pay a large amount just to give a listen to an album you may not end up liking.
a couple days ago I’ve noticed the queue in the desktop app has changed…
while I do appreciate the fact that you can open the queue next to your playlist, which allows you to see more information at a time, there is one very serious problem which unfortunately I cannot illustrate very well with a screenshot (at least as I’m typing this right now).
I’ll try my best though.
if you hover over any part of the row, you get the <span style=”cursor: pointer; text-decoration: dotted underline;” title=”yeah, this cursor you’re seeing right now”>pointer</span> rather than default cursor, which suggests that clicking is gonna result in an action being taken immediately - except that’s not what happens. instead, if you click on the blank part, the element is only gonna get selected - as it used to in the old queue, which is good. but if that’s what happens, that’s definitely not the cursor to use.
