I hope Spotify and other companies take note of how you can create what I call a 'PWA+' on Windows 10, meaning a PWA that is wrapped into a UWP application and then enhanced with Windows 10 features. Web in addition to the new widgets, which can be accessed by installing windows 11 build 25290 and updating both spotify and phone link apps via the microsoft store, the company has also. Each of these tiles on the Start Menu features album or artist artwork rather than just the app's logo.Īll of the features of Xpotify add up to create an excellent Spotify experience on Windows 10. Web to add a spotify widget on windows 11/10, press the win + g keys, click on the widget menu icon on the left side, then choose spotify from the list. You can pin artists, albums, playlists and more. Xpotify also adds the ability to pin specific pages to the Start Menu. You can also control your music using a mini player in Compact Overlay mode or by hovering over the taskbar and controlling media. These, and other features make it easy to control your music.

Xpotify supports media keys, media bar integration, and taskbar integration.

Xpotify adds many Windows 10-specific features that make it a better experience than just using the PWA, and in my opinion, a better experience than using Spotify's desktop app. For those who like using the Windows 11 widget board, Spotify's arrival as a widget. Thankfully, that's not the case with Xpotify. The Spotify app and Microsoft's Phone Link app are two new arrivals on the Windows 11 widget board. When I reviewed Pinterest's PWA in the Microsoft Store, I pointed out that it was essentially the same as Pinterest installed through the browser. You can install them through Chrome and the latest insider versions of Microsoft Edge.
