Spotify will be removed from BeoSound 5
7 replies
I'm guessing thats the larges problem with the new streaming systems, the vendor is dependent on a 3:rd party service provider who could remove support of their services at any time.
It's a drawback for me as a BS5 owner, but what scares me more is when support for .Net Radio are going to be removed.
Hopefully it will take a while since, as I know it, it's B&O who provides the list och streaming radio channels to the device.
Some people say "If you can't hold it, you don't own it" and that is also true in the music world, physical media such as Vinyl or CD is far future proof than the new streaming world.
It would be nice if B&O would consider adding support for Spotify Connect or AirPlay as an update for the BS5 users, but I will not hold my breath for that to happend.
you can have airplay on a beomaster 5 , you just have it install a little software on it.
As I said, the touch control of Spotify on it is lost. You will have to use another device to navigate your music.you can have airplay on a beomaster 5 , you just have it install a little software on it. beolab 5, beolab 10, beolab 5000, beolab 8000 mk2, beolab 3500, IWS 2000, beovision 7 55 mk2, beotime, beogram 7000 white mmc2, beosound ouverture, beosound essence and the collection continues...
my spotify is not working anymore.. the thing is that I bought a BS5 with this feature and now.. it is gone.. B&O should solve this problem!
There is a lengthy discussion of this in the Beosound 5 forum. There are a couple posts suggesting that there is new software for the Beosound 5 being tested.
They even remove Spotify in the B&O TVs which makes our customers very mad.
