Hi

It has been quite long time since we heard anything about software updates for SB5. So I have a simple question here:
Has the development of Software finished, or do any of you know if there still are plans to extend the usage or features of the BS5?

On the positive side, my BS5 is very very stable, and it works just fine. 

My dealer just closed his shop, so I ca not ask him anymore :-(

Hi Beolion,

My dealer told me yesterday that BS5 will get support for Spotify sometime in January...

Looking forward to that, they have talked about it for long time.

It could have been nice just to know what they are working on so that you know that your investment keeps developing.

would be great if the BS5 Encore would support itunes playlists - making your own playlists on the BS5 takes forever...

Twonky media server that I use reads itunes playlists and can distribute these to a number of clients, hopefully the BS5 and Encore will have support for that feature in the near future.
