Spotify quietly launched a new version of its desktop app in beta on Wednesday. The new app is such a work in progress that Spotify warns users that not all desktop features are even included yet. "You might find that some of the things you use in the current Desktop application are missing," says Spotify. "We are working on improving the Beta and will be releasing upgrades to it regularly so keep a look out for the upgrade message.
