I don't know when this happened, but I opened my Spotify app on my phone tonight to listen to some music.  When I opened "available devices", there was a new listing: "BEOMASTER5".  I selected "N.Music" to fire up the BS9000 + Bs5, selected "Spotify" as the mode, and music came out of my speakers!!!

As far as I'm concerned, this is better than the old Spotify support.  Thank you B&O.

I am logged into Spotify with my premium account. This is the account I used back when Spotify worked. The strange part for me is that I didn’t do anything to make this work. One day, Spotify stopped working. Now, it just showed up in my list of devices

No, I don’t get cover flow.

My application version is 7.04.01.1945

Located in Sweden and have passion for B&O since my years in school. Had the pleasure to be employed by the local B&O dealer in town in the 90th and got an education on the B&O product range at that time (the last fully 2-way integrated products).

Now fascinated about how far ahead B&O was with their Link integrations that you can still use to control and integrate 40 years old products in your smart home.

Prefer the older products since I feel those had a different classic to them and also they were priced/aimed more to the market so that normal people still had a chance to realize their dream and own a B&O product.

Same here, trying to log in on Beosound 5, says “no internet connection”. Although I have the Spotify app running on BM5. That gives you “connect” via A.Aux.

Same problem here too.

When I check the network info, under the settings menu on my BS5 it ‘checks’ for ages then states that there is no network connection, even though it’s currently streaming Radio 4!

i wonder if the problem lies with the connection to the servers at Bang & Olufsen rather than Spotify.

Best,

Paul

It is still working for me. I do get the “no internet” error, but Spotify and N.Radio still work. Also get the “checking for ages” issue when I go into network settings.

Hmm... As I was writing this, my music stopped, and Beomaster5 has disappeared from my devices list. 🙁. I’m also not seeing the Internet error.

Easy come, easy go?

It is possible that this behavior is something left over from prior attempts at running the Spotify app on the bs5. My recollection is that I never got this to work across a reboot and I disabled it, but my memory is not what it once was. However, I definitely do not remember ever seeing beomaster5 in my Spotify devices list.

So I rebooted the bs5 and my iphone and it still no longer works. I looked at my Android phone, and beomaster5 still showed... then it disappeared 🙁
