Maybe I should go back to buying CDs and Mp3s!

I have quite a lot on my NAS and in the cupboard - hardly ever use them, after starting to stream from Spotify.

How about trying Deezer out - should work with the converter/ML.

Good luck exploring the possibilities.

I came up with a good solution night that works... I discovered that my Google Home mini can be paired to bluetooth speakers so I went ahead and paired it to the Essence. This worked and straight away I was able to start Spotify playback to the Essence via voice control! The Google Home mini is listed as a device in the Spotify app (windows and mobile), and the last feature is the icing on the cake.. media controls on the beo4 remote work! This Includes Play, Stop, Next and Prev. The track info is also displayed on screen on my BV11 :) I have Bluetooth now mapped to a ML source. I'll still try out Deezer next month though.

Thanks for sharing the info about pairing the Google home mini with the BT of the Essence and that its working to control via the BEO 4 - there is the part I usually miss (don't want to be forced to use the Spotify app and mobile to change the music).
