I Love You, Spotify … Now Change
I'm a big indie music fan and Spotify provides my daily soundtrack. I use it happily all the time, but, as with any great product, there's still room for improvement. As a quick usability test revealed, people run into critical issues using some Spotify features.
My Objective
Identify the pain points of finding, organizing, and sharing music within the Spotify web application on the desktop.
Current Spotify web application landing page user interface (as of May 24th, 2014)
What: Spotify web app
Who: Eight existing Spotify users who listen to music everyday, though not necessarily using Spotify
Where: San Francisco
Participant Selection
I created a persona before I conducted my user tests and used the persona to screen my participants. For example, I posted on Craigslist with the criteria listed below. It helped me filter for the right participants. Meet my persona, Nick!
Nick is an iOS developer who loves music
Test Tasks
- Create a personal playlist
- Add song(s) to the playlist
- Edit the playlist and share it
- Subscribe to (follow) artists
I determined these tasks based on the essential needs of using online music streaming services. I phrased the tasks as open-ended scenarios to avoid leading the participants to complete any task in a predetermined way.
The eight usability tests were recorded using QuickTime. I reviewed the recordings, took notes, and identified and prioritized usability issues.
Notes taken at each session with major pain points reflected from users
Pain points bucketed according to user actions
As you can see, there are a lot of issues going on here and I am not going to address them all here. Instead, let's take a look at some of the focused changes that could make using Spotify a more enjoyable experience.
Issue 1: Search Results are Hard to Filter
Users expect to be able to customize their search results. As one of my users said, "The reason I don't use Spotify is that it is so hard for me to find anything."
By running @Spotify through a usability test, I found easy fixes that could make it more rewarding
The picture below demonstrates that the user wanted to find a song that contained "tourist" in the title. The user typed "tourist" into the search bar, but the results were impossible to sort or filter. The user could not find the intended song.
How about we try this?
Allow users to sort/filter song lists by artist or album or even date of release?
As talented and respected designer Daniel Burka pointed out, "… users aren't trying to sort results better … they're trying to filter the results."
In the case of Spotify's filtering system (shown below), there are filters—such as "Albums," "Artists," "Profiles," "Playlists," and "Songs"—but the way Spotify lays them out confuses users: they are visually too similar.
How about we try this?
There is an opportunity to subtly differentiate these kinds of results that I've detailed below.
Issue 2: The Tooltips Are Confusing
Users expect the "+" to mean "add to," instead of "save," "follow," or "blank," and Spotify's "+" was confusing to my users:
- "By clicking on it, I thought it would add the song to my playlist. Where does it save to?"
- "Gosh, this is confusing!"
- "Why is there such a function?"
Every participant clicked the "+" sign to add their first song to their playlist. Half of the participants still accidentally clicked on it even after they realized that it was wrong. This icon also appears to be "follow" and "null" on different pages, as shown below. The inconsistency confused the participants.
When moused over, the "+" says "save" but no one knew what this meant or where the song was saved to (As of May 21st, 2014)
Here, however, "+" means "Follow," which is confusing because it previously meant "save"
On the playlist page, this button has no tool tip, which is obviously not helpful
How about we try this?
Give the "+" icon an "add to" function, which enables users to choose which playlist they want to "save" the song to.
Issue 3: Why Am I Following?
The "Follow" button confused all the participants. Each one thought the artists they followed should be listed under the "Follow" button on the left panel, but they are not.
- "Where are my followed artists?"
- "What does 'following' mean?"
- "I'd still just use Search to find the artist instead of using this 'following' thing."
The participants expected the "Follow" page to show them a list of the artists they are already following. Instead, the page has only the three options illustrated below.
The Follow button on the left panel actually takes users to a page to do the action "follow"
How about we try this?
Add the "followed artists" section into the "Follow" page. Show news feed, tour dates, and merchandise information as a clear option. A design recommendation is shown be-low.
There's no doubt Spotify's current design is clean, but is it informative enough? At this point, could replacing icons with named features benefit the UX without damaging the visual elegance? As Burka reminds us: "Having to hover over a button to deduce its purpose is poor UI even if it's super compact."
I did additional user interviews around this concept and found a few problematic organizational problems in the navigation panel.
The original Spotify navigation panel
I also think the big buttons are more appropriate for the touch-screen devices, and a more traditional desktop application (e.g., iTunes) approach would make it easier for users to understand on desktops.
So in an attempt to bring more information to the surface of the interface , I made some design suggestions as shown below:
The goal of user research is to understand the target user's needs and motivations so that we can develop products that they truly love. By running one of my favorite apps through a usability test, I was able to find some relatively easy fixes that could make Spotify even more rewarding for users. (The suggestions still need more validation and testing).
Do you have any suggestions for changes that could improve the Spotify experience? Have you ever run a usability test on one of your favorite products? I'd love to read your thoughts in the comments below.

Hi Lin,
This is a well written article and very userful. I got some valuable insights on the UX design proces.
Well done Lin, it's great as UXers to take a critical look at the designs we use everyday. Like you and the others, I love my music. I started with Pandora then migrated over to Spotify like many others. :)
I think you have identified many of the issues. I would like to add that the IA of the site is quite challanged. In it's attempt to do everything for everybody, the organization of menu items, etc... seem compromised and results in a bit of a convoluted arrangment. E.g. I'm at odds with the Main selection panel on the left side... items like "Play Queue" and "Devices" seem like they should be better integrated into the design, versus as a part of the "Main" selection list.
I think another challange for users is the lack of a "common fate" aspect in the design. What I mean is the doing/selecting/etc of something and the resulting information updating the main sections of the design relative to what was selected.
Where Spotify is at odds with this design technique is when a user has his playlist going, then selects another item in the app which visually updates the main panels, while the playlist is still playing behind the scenes... kind of a visual dis-connect for me. I think I would prefer a more "grounded" experience, where my playlist queue or whatever is being played (Radio, etc...) has a constant visual presence no matter what else I am doing in the app. Lack of this kind of visual connection I believe results in some confusion for new and casual users.
I could go on :)
Thanks for having us think about the designs we use each day.
- Michael
Agree on all counts, but it's missing a couple things, specifically in the area of IA. Spotify's metadata is wretched. It cannot differentiate between two artists of the same name, nor can it tell if a song is a cover version of another or a title with the same name. Occasionally this has led to discovering new music, but more often it leads to me finding crappy rap or pop songs with the same name as an awesome song. Before any UI cosmetics, Spotify needs to address gaping holes in IA.
Speaking of sloppy UX, this site won't let me edit my own post.
I wanted to add that the task of adding metadata is certainly not insurmountable. Sound recognition is advanced enough that you could match melodies automatically to sort songs into cover versions, at least 99% of the time (there are some awful covers out there, I know).
This is an excellent article. One I can sink my teeth into because I too am also a lover of music, and I am a user of Spotify. The company I work for is really considering many elements of UX in our design process. As an application designer I can appreciate adopting a user mindset in my design. One thing I did notice about the article is that you must've missed the QA phase of publishing the article. One of your images led to a "Page Not Found" The image in question is the second one under "How about we try this" in the "Issue 1: Search Results are Hard to Filter" section.
I know I am probably being a bit of a nick-picker, so do with what you will.
It's a great web app, even tho to get the full experience, the spotify app is available on many platforms. I see this web app to be more of a competitor to Grooveshark then anything. Well, I can use the web app/site of grooveshark on my phone, I can't on spotify web app.
Thanks Lin for your great article. Maybe its even better to rethink the semantics of the plus sign as a representation for the "more-options" dropdown to help the user to differentiate better between "adding" and "more". A better representation for a dropdown would be three-dots, three stacked lines (burger menu) or whats learned for desktop, the right click for bringing up the options.
Great article, but I am SO disappointed you didn't tackle the play/queue confusion, which is what makes me want to chuck spotify out the window every time I use it. Seriously. Click Queue on on album. Click Play on another album. What did you expect it to do? Did it do what one would expect it to do? I bet not ;-)
Great article, Lin -- very comprehensive. I think you ably articulated the problem with the "plus" sign -- as a daily Spotify user I've built up a fear of that symbol!
Great article Lin. Someone is finally running a usability test on Spotify! ;)
I've been thinking about writing an article about the Spotify problems as well, only from my own point of view and about the mobile/OSX apps. Quite a few problems you've highlighted I personally ran into as well.
Like you, I do like Spotify, and I use it daily. Unfortunately the UX side of things seems to have taken a backseat to the visual design when they redesigned all the apps a while back.
The apps used to get out of my way and let me do what I wanted....listen to music. Now I constantly have to be aware of everything and really pay attention. Consistency is lacking, they don't use shapes/proximity/colors enough to make things clear. Wrong type of controls, not matching the mental models of people.
Replacing the yellow star with the grey + sign and checkmark was one of the worst changes imho. Everybody understands what a star means, it is used in almost all apps these days. In the OSX app it doesn't even show a tooltip and you have no clue where the song is going to end up when you press the + sign. No feedback at all. And for the life of me I can't find a reason that change would benefit the user in anyway.
Looking forward to read more from you :)
Very good, Lin. I really hate trying to find who I am already following. Also, it would be nice if you could create playlists that you could grant access to friends that you chose, so you can all contribute to the playlist.
Thanks Eric :)
Yeah, that'd be a nice feature to have. Right now Spotify has this "Collaborative Playlist" but I have no idea how it works haha. I'd assume everyone can contribute? But that's kinda odd.
We use a collaborative playlist in work to all submit songs into the playlist. I still can't figure out how to edit/refresh/remove anything on the playlist and also find spotify confusing as hell!
One day i'll sit down and learn how to use it.. but for now..
I'm sticking to soundcloud because of its discoverability, ease of use and hidden gems of music that you stumble upon.
(Although, they have really ruined the iOS app by 'streamlining' and removing a lot of key functionality)
Nice job, Lin - you nailed a few of my Spotify frustrations. Those icons! Inconsistent and non-intuitive...
You should've seen their Windows app. So awful to use. Confusing, cluttered and barely readable. I wish they would pay more attention to the users. The content and features seem to be great though but they are barely discoverable.
Why show the user results that don't match their intent at all? If the user wants to find a song with "tourist" in the title, then allow them to specify Title as the search and eliminate the screen clutter
That would seem like the logical thing to do if people thought about all their actions before they started doing them. People behave very differently in reality though. Instead of figuring things out upfront we try the first thing that seems to make sense. So with a search box we start typing immediately. Returning multiple categories works much better, at least if you can easily tell them apart. You don't want a user to think about how to search. They don't care, as long as you produce the results they are looking for.
I would agree if it were something like Amazon where the search can be for just about anything. But I think we're pretty focused here. It would be hard to imagine a situation where the user wasn't sure if a word was part of a song title or part of the artists name. Certainly give the user the flexibility about how they want to search, but I always opt on the side of progressive disclosure.
I understand your reasoning but I look at it the other way around. If it's so focused, why bother the user with it at all? What's the chance of them not finding what they are looking for?
If the list of results is too large they need to refine their search (or filter them) anyway, no matter if it's a song, album or artist. And the best way is often to refine the search by mentioning both the title and the artist. Unfortunately if I search Spotify for the song Next Breath by Tank, "next breath tank" works but "next breath by tank" doesn't.
They should also have enough data to know which type of searches are the most common and order them accordingly. For a lot of people search is like google, just type anything you want in there.
Yes, a person will know if it's a title or artist if you ask them. But even if you'd ask someone, they'd have to think about it, even if it's not very long. And what if they want to combine them in the search.
Even if your app is focused, the user often isn't. If they don't have to make a decision, take action or have to think about what they are asking, the happier they usually are with your product.
Is it always logical? Not at all. People almost never do what's the most efficient but what's the easiest.

European Company Law 1999-2010: Renaissance and CrisisJohn ArmourUniversity of Oxford - Faculty of Law; University of Oxford - Said Business School; European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) Wolf-Georg RingeCopenhagen Business School - Department of Law; University of Oxford - Faculty of Law December 14, 2010 ECGI - Law Working Paper No. 175/2011 Oxford Legal Studies Research Paper No. 63/2010 Abstract: European corporate law has enjoyed a renaissance in the past decade. Fifteen years ago, this would have seemed most implausible. In the mid-1990s, the early integration strategy of seeking to harmonise substantive company law seemed to have been stalled by the need to reconcile fundamental differences in approaches to corporate governance. Little was happening, and the grand vision of the early pioneers appeared more dream than ambition. Yet since then, a combination of adventurous decisions by the Court of Justice, innovative approaches to legislation by the Commission, and disastrous crises in capital markets has produced a headlong rush of reform activity. The volume and pace of change has been such that few have had time to digest it: not least policymakers, with the consequence that the developments have not always been well coordinated. The recent 2007/08 financial crisis has yet again thrown many - quite fundamental - issues into question. In this article, we offer an overview that puts the most significant developments of this decade into context, alongside each other and the changing patterns of corporate structure in European countries.

A stupid, pimply faced, teenager who is popular in their school, and thinks having a social life is more important than drinking water, and only knows how to say "FAIL" and/or "EPIC FAIL" as a comeback to any good insult. Fail kids like to take out their frustrations on popular online games like warcraft or counter strike, because they're nerdy, weak ass little pre-mature fucks in real life, and stay up till midnight on those games using lame internet slangs like L0l, pl0x, own3d, n00b, OMG you noob omg!, and of course, FAIL. They can be seen hanging out in malls with their friends(who are also fail kids). When these angry ass teens aren't saying fail, hanging out with friends, eating mcdonalds, or playing games, they like to go on facebook, and get depressed after random ass people dont accept their friend requests.

A kid who thinks he is funny by saying things but really isn't. This type of person generally fails at life, has no friends and sits at their computer all day long. These people are different from trolls in the sense that they fail at trolling too and have no actual value to contribute to society or life.
A fail kid is someone who stalks you on facebook, posts random fail comments and thinks hes cool and good at everything they do.

Some of the initial performance reports where very negative but this looks very good to me for a generation one processor. There is good reason now to save a few bucks going AMD as the performance penalty isn't overwhelming
It will be especially interesting to see more testing with different configurations of the processors. We simply don't have the experience to imply anything about cache trade offs as the architecture is so new.
The other thing to realize is that there has likely been little in the way of Bulldozer specific optimizations in these tests. That would be switches for the compilers. Even though some OS optimization has been done that doesnt preclude any other improvements specific to Bulldozer. In the end AMD could be sitting pretty with a hardware revision and some optimized compiler technologies.
I see my div suggestion was applied. Nice to have a scrollable specs table.
people wondering about the bad scaling on 8 threats...
but remember the bulldozer is a 4 core cpu not a 8core...
the speed in comparison on an 4 core with 4 threats is really high.
and no 4core+ CMP isn't a 8core cpu.
its a 4 core with CMP (like 4core+Hyperthreating on intel side.)
CMP is the stupid idea AMD ever bring to life but only because the humanity isn't ready yet.
they should better build native 8core cpus like the AMD Opteron 6128, 8x 2.00GHz for the am3 socket.
the Humans are not ready yet for the Truth about SMP vs CMP vs HT
in my point of view the humans are not ready for out of order cpus.
we need a LAW to Force "in order" cpu architecture to Stop the stupidness of the humans.
very sad.
Sometimes one can squeeze more performance when running the test with more threads than the actual core of the processor.
Here is an example:
X264 performance peaked at 18 threads for my 1090T.
I think thread count should be a value that can be determined by the actual tests (some other tests have no justification for such manipulation) AND the processor since some processor improve their results when loading more threads and some others don't
Whenever you see results like that it means there is a problem with the benchmark. Either the code is written poorly, or the threads are blocked by I/O. In the latter case, obviously changing the disk subsystem will change the result, and then you no longer have a meaningful benchmark of CPU performance. In the former case, you have some other block on a shared resource. It might be valid still as a benchmark, if the contended resource is the same on all test platforms.
Last sentence on page 3 says:
"With eight threads (fully utilizing the FX-8150), the improvement was 6.05x over the single-core result while the Opteron 2394 was at 8.02x and the Core i7 990X at 6.11x."
However, 6.05x is the improvement for 6 threads, the one for all 8 threads was 7.44x

Ummmm.... does it memtest86 okay?
Sorry to hear you're having such a hard time getting linux going, the only thing I can suggest it double check all bios settings, disable everything not needed in bios to ensure nothing is screwed up, make sure AGP apature size is the same as the amount you have on your gfx card (if you have PCI-X then this doesn't apply)...apart from that, ditch the mobo and buy a new one.
Or set FSB to 10,000 and turn it into a microwave...
Ummmm.... does it memtest86 okay?
Hi there.....
Don't know if this will help, but i had a major problem installing Xubuntu (& various others ) on my old PIII (1000) which was weird because i had previously been running it....
Anyway, long story short, after much mucking about & trying different things, and even re-building the machine with different parts & cables etc, i got a result when i put my original memory back in the machine, and all worked perfectly well.... so it was duff memory all the time.... it crashed every install of every OS that i tried....
Might help.... hope it does. Good luck
About the review on the AsRock Dual last December ...
Did the reviewer test to see whether the network controller functioned properly? Everyone seems to be complaining even now about the lack of driver support including many in the Fedora forums. I took delivery of one not long ago and have had no success getting the controller to work right.
Ok then any ideas why most are having problems while your's didn't?
Could you post some more information on your confirmation? What kernel are you using? (Did you try upgrading to 2.6.17 or 2.6.18 (though it should work with the older kernels, might as well try the new ones anyways))? What are all of the steps you have tried so far?
I've been following this thread with intrest, as I own the Asrock 939 Dual board also. I just installed ubuntu-dapper on this board, and it installed without a problem. I set it up as dual boot with winXP. Everything works, including NIC and SATA controller. Full specs of my rig:
Asrock939 dual sata2
AMD64 3200+ venice
crucial DDR400 1GB
EVGA nvidia gforce 6600 PCI-E
Seagate 120GB 7200rpm hard drive SATA1
LiteOn DVD burner
samsung floppy
OP, have you considered the possiblity that something else on your system is bad/incompatible? (RAM perhaps). My SATA controller is set to IDE mode. If yours is not, try that and see if it helps. Also, since you have several hard drives, try disconnecting all of them except the one linux is being installed on. Sorry if any of this has already been discussed. Hope this helps.
i once tried to install linux on an asrock mb too about 4 yrs ago, encountered problems, emailed asrock, and they said they're mb is not compatible. recently our office bought again about a dozen units, and i can't install ubuntu 6 again. somehow i got ubuntu 5.10 running, but i needed some of the upgrades in 6. i was able to install ubuntu 6 only on my laptop (ibm) and 3 units with diff mb.

All the Single Ladies: 13 Frightening Tips on How to Snag a Man (in 1938, Anyway)
Boy, am I glad I found someone to marry me. It's rough out there. At least I assume it is (I've been with my husband for 8 years, so I wouldn't really know, but I still kind of know, you know?).
I don't think dating is or has ever been really easy. But I'm just grateful to not be doing it anymore, and I'm certainly thankful that I wasn't dating in 1938. The tips single women got then to not be single anymore? F-r-i-g-h-t-e-n-i-n-g. What's even scarier? Some of the tips kind of hold up today.
Check out this little photo guide for single women to land a husband in 1938 (think of it as The Rules: The Early Years). Times have changed, but have they really changed? Yeah, no. And, uh, ugh (all images courtesy of Retronaut.co):

Just curious who is everyone's favorite Titleist Staff Player? My favorite player is Bo Van Pelt. I was so happy to see him join Titleist and he had an incredible year after making the switch.
My favorite is Steve Stricker. He is so easy to pull for being so humble. His short game technique has really helped me after trying it. By taking most of the wrist *** out of the short game swing allows me to be much more accurate and results more consistent .
Tough question Jim. These guys are all so good and each has a distinct personality. I can only hope Rocco signs with Titleist after winning with AP2s. He would be my guy.
I have to say Rickie Fowler. B/c I'm young I'm partial to the new wave of young guys coming and being named rookie of the year is a huge honor for him and I think he deserved it. LETS HAVE ANOTHER GREAT SEASON RICKIE!!!
I would also have to say Steve Stricker. He is great with the putter!
Yeah Deno,
I like Rocco as well. The Frys.com was an awesome tournament. Watching Bo three putt seventeen was tough but watching Rocco win like he did was incredible.
I would say Rickie Fowler also. He had a handfull of top 10's and 2 runner-ups in his Rookie Year! I think he's got the right attitude and game to be next top 5 in the world. He hasn't got a win yet but he did show in the ryder cup that he can make putts under pressure. and I measure a players skill on how well they play under a lot of pressure.
I pretty much like em all....right now I really like Ricky, Rory, and Stricker
Brad Faxon - he has given a lot back to the game with his involvement in the Button Hole program (kids golf program in Providence, RI) and the CVS Charity Classic (along with his fellow Rhode Islander, Billy Andrade).
I like Adam Scott... He is sort of a face for Titleist. His game hasn't been the greatest in the past few years, but I believe he's coming around; ready to have a good year! No doubt, he's still a great player.
fowler, matteo, stricks, and rory.
Adam Scott and Steve Stricker.
I really love the way Stricker plays, and he seems like a really good guy. Adam Scott because he has unbeatable style, and is a guy that I've been routing for since the first time I saw him. He's got amazing putters, and he's very accessible to his fans.
Ricky is up there too.
I'd have to Steve Stricker, Ricky Fowler, and Zack Johnson. 3 different styles but I love their games and how the carry themselves.
rory is man!!!
my favorite is either Rory Mcilroy or Nick Watney.

Using a system of grading codes based on those established by price guides such as Beckett, Tuff Stuff, Sports Collector�s Digest, collectors can determine the approximate condition of items offered by interpreting the following grades. Grading is very subjective and there can also be grades in between the levels below. MINT (MT) - while we rarely use this grade, occasionally it can be found for items that we appraise as appearing nearly perfect to the naked eye. With respect to cards, it would be defined as one with 50/50 centering all around, razor-sharp corners, a photo that is well-registered and completely focused, and no visible imperfections on card front or back. NEAR MINT-MINT (NRMT/MT) - is qualified by at least 60/40 centering, only the slightest hint of corner wear upon close inspection, and may have a barely visible print spot, lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection. NEAR MINT (NRMT) - card displays at least 70/30 centering, may have a visible slight touch of corner wear all around, and/or a few slightly visible print spots, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection. EXCELLENT-MINT (EX/MINT) - centering equivalent to NRMT (70/30), but 2 or 3 corners display an obvious "fuzzy" quality. Essentially, a card that would have been deemed NRMT if not for the corner wear being more apparent. May have a barely visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection. EXCELLENT (EX) - all four corners show visible signs of wear, but are not rounded. Centering at least 80/20. May have a visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection. VERY GOOD (VG) - Corners are rounded and the card may have creases or wrinkles. FAIR TO GOOD - in this grade, card has rounded corners and other major defects such as scuffing, pinholes, loss of gloss, multiple creases. In general, a markedly worn card and often used as a "filler" until a better one comes along. |
1952,1953,1954,1955 Red Man TOBACCORed Man Tobacco issued baseball cards in 1952, 1953, 1954 and 1955, making them the only tobacco company to do so since 1920. The cards are very attractive with a large, painted portrait and a short player's bio on the front. On the back is company advertising. 1/2" tabs at the bottom of each card could be exchanged for a prize. The exchange rate was 50 tabs for one free Big League style baseball cap. Thus, cards with the tabs still intact are much, much, harder to find making them more valuable.Without the tabs it is difficult to determine which year certain players were issued. It is usually easiest to determine the year by looking at the expiration date on the back. Subtract 1 from the expiration year to determine the year of the card. Each set is made up of 25 players from each league all personally selected by Editor J.G. Taylor Spink of the "Sporting News". Managers from each league were included in the 1952 and 1953 sets. The 1954 set had four different variations. If you ignore the many variations of the expiration dates, that brings the total to only 208 cards to complete your Master Red Man Tobacco Baseball Card Set !!! Start collecting now !
