Hey

Please write B&O support and ask. This will put some pressure on them!

I have just done that.

Please report back about this- would be great!!

There is no support planned, sorry.

If that is the case then they are undervaluing their own products. If they can already do this with the BS5/BM5 content, I cannot see it being a huge jump to add spotify support, in fact it is this kind of development that would underpin their product offering. This is a software issue, no hardware required other than that which they already have.

Are they planning a new controller with this ability?

It also requires a bit of different hardware that can run that kind of software that is required. Also Spotify has to play along to allow this functionality.

What extra hardware is required? Surely the BM5 is doing this already to deliver the album covers to the BS5 & Beo6 in n.music mode, and the cover to the BS5 in Spotify mode. Yes, I can understand there may be something being witheld by Spotify that prevents this, although I cannot think of a good reason for this.

Well, I know that specifically in the case of transmitting Spotify covers special agreements would have to be made with the copyright-holders of each label.

Spotify covers are already sent to BS5, BV11, V1 - should be no problem, regarding copyright, with Beo6...or do I miss something?

There is an ipad app called remoteless, that works as a Spotify remote installed on a PC. Maybe this will also with BM5?

Or maybe via Beolink app?
