Spotify has updates its desktop app with redesigned "Now Playing" and "Your Library" views.

The "Now Playing" view has been moved to the right side of the interface. It will display the current song or podcast you are listening to, as well showing users more information about the artist including tour dates and merchandize. Supported podcasts will allow you to view transcriptions as well.

On the left side, the "Your Library" view gives you quick access to your saved music and podcasts. Spotify says that this will help save time for users, providing them with a better persistent overview, and allowing them to quickly switch between created playlists.

"Together, the individually customizable design of these new views provides a richer experience, more context, and quicker access to personal favorites," said Spotify in a blog post.
