If you came to this article thinking that Spotify was finally going to get high definition music, we’re sorry to disappoint; For now we will have to opt for alternatives to Spotify to listen to our favorite music with the best quality. But at least another of the big user complaints has finally been answered.
We’re talking about the Spotify app for Windows and Mac computers, which last year underwent a complete renovation that brings it closer to the mobile app, for better and for worse. Among the changes were a new visual style and new features, such as a new way to manage the song library and the “Playing” view, with additional artist and song information.
However, even this big update wasn’t completely finished and there were still some features to be implemented; Some have appeared in recent months, but the best of all is undoubtedly the one announced today.
Spotify Mini Player
We are talking about new Spotify mini player, a smaller version of the interface that takes up less space on the desktop and can stay with other programs. This is exactly what many users were missing, and it can be a real reason to use the app again. It is not in vain that this was one of the functions most requested by users on the official Spotify forums, and there were already very popular programs to achieve a similar function.
The mini player is something that many music playing apps have had for decades. It is a very reduced interface, which Contains only basic playback controls, song title, artist and album cover. Here you won’t find any of the distractions added to Spotify in recent years, so it’s ideal for those of us who just want to listen to music on the computer.

The version created by Spotify also looks particularly good. The drive can be dynamically sized, meaning that we can enlarge or reduce it
An important detail is that the mini player This does not replace the Spotify app; It’s just an option that you can activate if you want, but the main player is always accessible. This is important because the miniplayer has no way to access the lists, so we have to queue the content in the main app. The mini player works with both music and podcasts.
The mini player is gradually reaching all Spotify Premium subscription users. It appears as a new button right next to the full screen and volume buttons.
