Yes it does work but kind of reminds me of how I used to send a text message on my Nokia mobile 15 years ago....

 

In my honest opinion, stop nagging!

What did you expect? After an update suddenly having a touchscreen on your BS5? A keyboard which flips from behind?

When did you buy your BS5? 

Several years ago when they released the BS5, Spotify wasn't as common as it is today.

So, give me an example of a another brand product which adds features like the BS5 does, beside an iPad or any other "touchscreen" device.

Easy searching without having a keyboard will always be  a problem.

So, when Spotify came available, members/owners wanted Spotify. B&O added on request.

Then the complaint came about the missing search function. B&O added on request again.

As Spotify can be used on multiple devices, like both a mobile, pc or iPad, playlists are synchronized automatically on all devices.

So, give me an idea how B&O should solve your search function instead of complaining.

I agree with Beobuddy, difficult to make a search funktion without touch-screen. You have to work with the product, incuding its limitations. But the nice thing about this upgrade is the ability to ad ALBUMS and PLAYLIST to a designated number, not just the colorred preset buttons. Maybe the Beo6 will be upgraded aswell with search funktion ! Or even the Beoremote app or othe IOS.

Very good news. Thanks b&o for this improvement.

One BIG THING IS MISSING, an index of artist when searching into big collection.

When I open the beomaster 5 hard drive from my dlna tv I can see an index of the artist name (abc, def, ...), it should be possible to do the same thing from the bs5.

ipad app maybe?

just like Creation5.

It`s not only a "search" function update. You can also create favourites with color buttons and playlists via number buttons like the N.MUSIC functions.

There are also three ADD and two ACTION (?) functions.

I`m searching Spotify directly on the ipad or on my Mac book over the day.

In the evening back home, I`ve the time to LISTEN to the music via BS5, so I don`t really miss the search function.

Next step could be to install a Spotify remote function like remoteless on Beolink app to get two way function like in N.MUSIC mode.

Beo, please one wish: would be great to have a function that just plays the latest addition to Spotify.

I could think of A.MEM - 0 or A.MEM - select long....(?)

Thanks

Appears the newest Spotify release no longer shows most recent additions.  All I get is recommendations.  Wonder if that change is worldwide or if I messed up a setting somewhere.
