Spotify revamps its Apple TV app with video podcasts and music videos, a major update that promises to breathe new life into the streaming service's platform. The revamped app boasts a faster, smarter, and more visual experience, with a redesigned interface that has been built from scratch.
The updates, which have already rolled out for select users, now include features from Spotify's mobile app, such as queue management, seamless playback, song lyrics, and access to Spotify DJ – an AI-powered service that suggests what listeners should listen next. The revamped app also allows users to control playback on their Apple TV using their smartphone or tablet through the mobile app with Spotify Connect.
One of the most exciting updates is the addition of video podcasts, which will be available in 97 different markets worldwide, although it's worth noting that this feature hasn't yet rolled out in the US and Canada. The service promises to make these podcasts easily accessible for Premium subscribers by adding a "switch to video" prompt when a song with accompanying video content is playing.
Spotify also plans to expand its partnership with Netflix and The Ringer, which has already announced 16 video podcast series for release on the streaming platform next year.
The revamped Spotify app now offers an enhanced user experience that includes features like control over playback from multiple devices and access to a wider range of content. With this update, Spotify is poised to take its place as a major player in the world of streaming services, with video podcasts and music videos now integrated into its platform.

and gotta say, it's about time! been using that app for years and always thought there was room for improvement. love that they're adding those video podcasts - imagine being able to watch your favorite shows while still getting that music fix 
. and the fact that you can control playback from multiple devices is a total game changer 
. can't wait to see how this updates their whole platform - think it'll be a tough act to follow for netflix, but hey, competition is always good! 
they're literally revamping everything from scratch! I mean, who wouldn't want to control playback on their tv from their phone? game changer right? 
and can we talk about the partnership with netflix & the ringer? epic collaborations, right? 
. I'm also loving the seamless playback feature - no more buffering or lag! And, can we talk about how cool it is that you can control playback on your Apple TV with just your phone or tablet? It's like having a superpower 
. But seriously, the updated app is kinda cool, I guess. The queue management feature on my Apple TV is gonna be a game-changer for me, no more scrambling to find the next song 
. Anyway, this is gonna be a wild ride with all these new features 
. Can't wait to see what other surprises Spotify has in store 
.
. Video podcasts on Spotify? Sounds like a ploy to get us hooked on more content, so we'll be stuck in an endless loop of rabbit holes... and what about the ads? They'll just be hiding behind those "switch to video" prompts 
. Mark my words, this is just the tip of the iceberg...
