Spotify has redesigned its mobile app to make it better for non-paying users.

Spotify on Tuesday unveiled the new version of its free smartphone app. The redesigned Spotify app gives non-paying users features like new tools for creating playlists, a new low-data mode, and more control over their music.

The free Spotify app will now give free users access to 15 personalized playlists created by Spotify, which is equivalent to 750 tracks or about 40 hours of music. Those playlists can be played in any order, rather than in shuffle mode.

It's also easier for free users to create their own playlists, although those playlists can only be listened to in shuffle mode.

Spotify is also launching a new "low data mode," which Spotify says will reduce data consumption by as much as 75%. There is still no offline mode for free users.

Users will notice that the new free app has different buttons along the bottom as well. Now, the four buttons are Home, Search, Your Library, and Premium. There will be no separate Browse and Radio tabs anymore, but those features will still be incorporated in the free app.
