Spotify Starts Testing New CarPlay Interface With Queue System

Spotify has introduced a new CarPlay (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/carplay/) interface in the latest beta version of the app that is now available via TestFlight.

Notably, the redesigned UI adds a new queue system that brings the Spotify &zwnj;CarPlay&zwnj; experience a lot closer to the way Apple Music (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-music/) works.





Users can now see which tracks are queued up without having to look at their iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/), thanks to a "Go to queue" button on the Now Playing screen. Users can now also navigate to an artist's Spotify page by tapping the artist's name.





Elsewhere, the &zwnj;CarPlay&zwnj; app includes four tabs at the top of the screen for quick access to Home, Recently Played, Browse, and Library, while more album artwork and new accents add a lick of color to the interface.





It's not known when the updated version will arrive in the App Store (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/app-store/), but its presence in TestFlight is a good indicator that it should be on the way soon.





In November, Spotify rolled out support for standalone streaming (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/11/03/spotify-apple-watch-standalone-streaming/) through the Spotify app for Apple Watch, allowing users to listen to music or podcasts from Spotify over WiFi or cellular without having to have an &zwnj;iPhone&zwnj; nearby.<div class="linkback">Tags: CarPlay (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/carplay/), Spotify (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/spotify/)</div>
