We just received the following announcement from Spotify:

96 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
We have a BeoSound 5 connected to B&O speakers. What does this announcement mean for us? What are the “alternative ways to keep enjoying Spotfy on your product?”
you can probably use a Google Chromecast audio. relatively cheap option, you just wont have album or track listings displayed on the BS5
Chromecast supports spotify, and lets you 'cast' your music from your phone/ipad/etc over wifi direct to the device.
already the case !!!
BS 5 says " need premium subscription"
I'm beyond mad !!!! Just paid 800 euro (motherboard) after 6 years and now I lose 1/3 of its possibbility's !!! And removing Spotify after what 3 years !?
I want beo4 control in every room to play next or choose playlist (i numbered them or added them to color).
Either they integrate Deezer or spotify again !!!
All other solutions are sub-par. And this without any notice, digusting on a 60K+€ installation. I don't think I will be able to defend B&O ever again if this is really the case.
Frederic,
I can certainly empathize, trust me. It may be a good idea for you to express this concern of Spotify with B&O through their support website as I did yesterday.
My B&O Icons:
This is not up to B&O.Spotify can discontinue their app on any platform. It's their prerogative. I understand that they are unwilling to support such a small platform.Too bad for Beosound 5 owners though, and I understand your frustration.B&O should be ashamed.

Spotify have discontinued this platform not B&O, their decision has also affected other AV brands and users alike.This is not up to B&O. Spotify can discontinue their app on any platform.

Not much comfort to some people who spent tens of thousands on B&O system only say 5 years ago.Spotify have discontinued this platform not B&O, their decision has also affected other AV brands and users alike.

I understand your anger but you only can blame Spotify!
They are responsible NOT B&O.
Personally I don't even comprehend why people don't use standard internetradio instead of paying for a service like Spotify, Tidal, Apple music etc. Internetradio is much more compatible and many many devices are compatible to it and the best part: There's nobody who tells you on which device you can use it!
