Switch the queue, or "next up" song list option back to the way that it was originally!

I am a premium spotify user of two or three years now, and I haven't once, before now, had any complaints about a new update of sorts. However, this new queue update just doesn't do it for me. I'm sorry, but I hate it with a passion. 

 

When you would click the three lines in the bottom right hand corner of your spotify, bringing up the "queue" option, it always took up your whole screen. We had the "clear queue" option, the option to remove songs from the "play next" list, and it was overall more appealing to look at than this most recent change. Now it pops up at the bottom of your screen, though you can swipe up. It doesn't look right, and now there's no options to clear your queue or, again, remove songs. You can still sort them by which ones you'd like to play next, but it doesn't feel the same. 

 

I am asking - begging, really - for a service provider to consider changing it back to the way that it was before. I thought that the app was perfect, but some things about the app just shouldn't be updated, in my humble opinion. I hope someone who works at or with the company sees this complaint and at least considers my idea to either switch it back to how it was originally, the way we are all used to and love, or add those other features again. Thank you!

Hi, I totally back this demand. The original queue was much more practical. It allowed us to select and delete any song in the queue.

The new layout of the queue looks horrible. Everything else looks fine like the artists profiles. But the new queue looks horrible. The old queue layout was much easier to use and looked a whole lot better than the one we have now.

So, I would like to say that I figured out how to remove the songs from the list if you don't want a specific one to play next. You simply swipe left on the song, but it was a bit confusing to begin with and, again, the way that it looked before, though now you can clearly see the cover of the songs, looked more visually appealing, at least to me.

There has been a change in the format (or whatever you call it) in the queue. Songs placed in the queue by hand are less separate from the playlist that is currently playing, which can be confusing and harder to notice. Worse, it is now impossible to remove songs from the queue, which I feel is a pretty basic function that premium members should be able to do.

I back this 100%. I am in the car a lot and I am always the one playing music (when I'm not driving of course), and this new update makes it incredibly difficult to do that. The half screen design is so annoying because my phone gets jostled around so I accidentally click out of it or click on the wrong song. I also cannot skip songs from this screen, which makes it worse. Along with that, it is very difficult to remove songs from your queue and into just your next up songs so you can go back and replay them, which was one of my favorite features.

Spot on...this new queue update is trash.  Someone saw the UI/UX of another application and thought to themselves oh that'd be cool in Spotify...then whomever approves product updates clearly went into bobblehead-yes mode because they were familiar woth the app it came from.  Spoiler alert...

 

It doesn't work, it's awful.

  • The new UI change for the queue removed a feature that I used fairly often AND it hides what is actually going to play next when you hit shuffle.

Same!!! This new queue is nonsensical. It is clunky and you have to so delicately move it up to see whats on it otherwise you might accidentally skip the current song and send half your queue into oblivion. 
Why would you change something no one has a problem with? If you need things to change, please read these forums and maybe post a poll or something. Users need consistency and functionality. Thank you

Bring the queuing system back to how it was. Before I could go to my que, see the que and add or remove from there by selecting each song I wanted. I can't do that now. To add a song to the queue I have to go back and it's less efficient.

If you want to make changes for the better, that's alright but please DON'T remove functions.

Before, I used to repeatedly shuffle my liked songs, and when I see a song I feel like listening to, I just pressed the 3 dots and added it to the queue, and then I continued shuffling. Now I can't do that.

Think about it: with this function removed, if I scroll too much down the list and I see a song I want to listen after the current song, I have to drag all the way up the list. That's not practical. And whenever I press shuffle, the queue I made will disappear. Not practical at all.

That said, the queue system now works faster and more fluidly, I give you that.
