Depends on your setup, but generally speaking, yes -  recieving devices needs to support the technology.

Googling the phrase ‘ multiroom handout.pdf’ will lead you to a document, that explains more.

Would be nice if this document could be updated by B&O to mirror the options of the current devices and the recent Spotify Connect update.

Yes it does (for B&O products that has the Spotify Connect functionality).

Hello

Yes Spotify Connect is available  on Stage since last software update (yesterday for me in France).

My M3 updated yesterday and spotify connect is now available 😐. Spotify isn't showing in the list of local sources though which is weird.

Spotify is not a local/internal source - never was….this has not changed.

You will have to choose your music in the Spotify app (and the dvice you want to stream to.

From there you can go back and manage the stream in the B&O app (or via the remote/join).

What has changed is that a lot more B&O devices now suport Spotify Connect….and therefore can be used in a B&O multiroom experience, when playing from Spotify.

Hi MM,

Spotify is there as a Local source on my Core ( and I believe the essence mk2 but haven’t checked), it seems to be aware of my Spotify username and shows it as logged in. With this it can start Spotify playback independently of my phone. It’s under settings>your Content:

Maybe this additional feature will be added in due course to the M3 and others. 

Edit: the original screenshot upload didn't work, hopefully it will show now:

Before the recent update, I could start Spotify without my iPhone either by double tapping the top of the M5 or by selecting it on the BR1BT. I could also save Spotify on a MyBotton on the BR1BT and start Spotify from standby on the M5 with it.

 

However, this works no longer, and I have to use the iPhone Spotify app every time to start Spotify 🙁.

Just checked my M5 and like yours and the Core it has Spotify in the local sources list.... it has the new software update pending , is it this week's update that upset your M5?

Hi ebnrok.

I was not sure what you meant - that is why I added ‘internal source’.

However, what you mean is something different.

No I don’t see Spotify listed there as e.g. on my Essence.

(Why that is so, will have to be explained by someone in knowing)

But it appears in my own content list and can be added and moved up/down there.

A bit funny that it on other devices appears like the other built-in sources (TunIn etc), since it isn’t really a built-in source (it is just good integrated).

It seems that your usecase is different than mine - I don’t have any devices ‘to tap’ - apart from now the M3 (and that works different there).

And up till now I just used the M3 muted as a ‘gateway’ for my turntable into the NL network….it is hidden away.

I use my beoremote and the app - so I can’t say much to that.

It see though, that other users have chimed in - so I guess that will be clearer along the way.

P.S. I don’t see your picture here on my iPad.
