I recently started using Spotify, while using for about a month I discovered some of the UX problems. In this article I will showcase my design changes on fixing them.

Adding to Playlist

Problem:I'm unable to add the same songs to multiple playlists at once.

Solution:I'm unable to add the same songs to multiple playlists at once.

Unused space - Going to Album

Problem:When I'm listening to song and I want to go to the album I need to go to option and select "View album" 60% of screen is clickable but can swipe next to switch to next song

Solution:Make album cover clickable to view album or long press save cover to photos

Searching through and Add/Choose artists

Problem:When I created account i wanted to choose my favorite artist that I want to follow, I found an issue, where I kept adding my favorite artist after 15 -20 artists "+Choose artists" CTA goes all the way down below the list, where I have to scroll to bottom when I have add/choose artists but I can on playlist tab, +create playlist

Solution:Add Choose artists on top, similar to create playlist, Life's much easier to find and add artists quickly

I love Spotify and I like the suggestion algorithm which best in the industry. These are just some Problem that I faced and wish to be changed.
