Lets just hope that the B&O push Deezer on to the BS5 (I know this is a very long shot), as I have a deezer account for my Moment already so would allow for some symmetry between the two products.

Spotify connect player for BS5

Hi,exactly my thoughts... +1Regards DL
So my current status is that Spotify works other than playlists (which is a bit limiting). I can search as normal or play favourites/new releases. Going on playlists creates the " loading" then "no data found" message. And in fact I have to keep the pointer off playlists else we jam up.
That is pretty much how the app in the tv's behave, too.
A pity for those, who are fond of using playlists.
But for me (and maybe for others) no big deal.
As long as I can search for what I need, I am fine....
....and they could keep it so on the tv's.

@Duels- mine is behaving in a similar manner, although occasionally I can get in to the playlist mode. If I edit or create a new playlist on my iPhone, it does appear on the BS5, but only after a while.

Now Spotify is effectively gone. All searches seem to get the result that the "search matches nothing in the database" or words to that effect. New releases and favourites just show "no data found". Is that the end of Spotify on the BS5?
Playlists and favourite is still working, and you can still add new playlists on iOS Spotify

I tried Spotify via BS5 this weekend, and I had to reboot my BS5. Just going into Spotify mode did this 🙁. Last few times I tried, it sort of worked if I stayed out of playlists. I guess it's probably Spotify changing their API all the time, and B&O not keeping up with an out of production product - the joys of "cloud based applications".
I guess I'm glad I have a $40 google chrome audio connected to by BS9000 (so I can control via phone / spotify connect) so I don't really need it, but I thought I'd do a sound quality comparison. Obviously, the music play via the chrome audio sounded better than the BS5 rebooting 😉

Mine BS5 has worked fine for a couple of weeks, but when I added some new playlists via iOS the playlist stopped working again (no data found after a long loading...). Yesterday the playlists started working again including the once I added. However, the "New releases" is now gone and they have always been working before?Has there been any change on the Spotify side or is it something else that is hard to find the logic for (I have not changed anything else and not even used Spotify on iOS since I added the playlists)?
Bad news: There was a newsletter last week or so to all dealers. Spotify will removed from all b&o products till may 2017. (i think the spotify connect feature will be remain because b&o recommends to buy a beosound mk2 essence to hook up to the beosound5 with a usb-Behringer UCA222. (info from beo”care”)
