Spotify - no search function = useless 😭

If you are a Spotify-user, buy the ipad 16GB and a Playmaker - what more do you need?

And sell the BM5/Encore, as long as someone still wants to pay for it.

Grrr! Millemissen

This is free - that is not the playmaker! 😁

....and why would you need to search via BS5? Use your computer to do the searching and the BS5 to play the result!

That's the way I use Spotify at the moment, but if Spotify is integrated in the BS5/E, that would be nice. 💡 Not everyone want always to use a smartphone or tablet, but wants the music from an integrated B&O setup. Not always want to charge their mobile devices, but a reliable solution. A software update to use the BS5E, in combination with Spotify and WiFi (Beo6 and BS5e) would also be very nice. Let's wait and see what the update will bring us.

'Free' does not always mean 'good'!.

OK -  probably we are using Spotify in different ways.

If I had to turn on my computer to make a playlist and afterwards turn to the BM5 to play it, it would be a no go for me.

Searching on the iPad-app is what makes things comfortable.

If a computer must be involved - and no iPad, you could use Airfoil to send it to the PM.

As far as I remember Beofan52 already has a Playmaker. UPDATE 14.40 - I see above, that he has!

And...you can get several Playmakers for the money you would get if you sell BM5/Encore.

I am just saying, if B&O offers Spotify this way, it is just for the sake of being able to push the BM5/Ecore's before EOL - a marteting-thing!

...so use the Ipad to do your pick and then let BS5 play it. Superb in my opinion. BS5 is an expensive Playmaker but it is always there, "charged" and ready to play. And the feeling with the big display and aluminum wheels are hard to describe.....

Just happy to be in the airplay/spotify community soon.

ECF, I agree.

And I am also very happy with the BS5, and I do like the wheel and navigation, but you have to get used to it. And because of the wheel, your screen is always clean :-)

At our home it would not work using our iDevices to control and play music, there is often someone who calls or a kid who plays on the iThing. I would prefer that the BS5 played the music for me (and maybe using the iThing to start it).

"....or a kid who plays on the iThing."

Of cource you would need a 'dedicated iPad' - not the 'family-iPad' - for this.

You wouldn't let your kids play with your BS5 either, would you?

As long as you are happy with your BM/BS5-thing, all is well!

But don't expect major updates/wonders for it.

When sales go down, it will soon reach the 'end of life'.

A support for Spotify-playlists would give the product one more year - AirPlay-support maybe two more years - before it would be terminated.

Nowadays people want something else.

They want to use what they have in their hands or on the table - because these devises can do it.

AirPlay and also Miracast has been invented.

As the BM/BS5 and the E started years ago, that was the best way to listen to music based on digital files.

If B&O would come up with a Playmaker with a screen same size as the BS5 to display what is playing, we would still have something to 'show off' when friends and family come to visit 😳

But that is a theme for another thread.

Greetings Millemissen

Yes, that would be perfect.

If spotify and BS5 really happens I will just be missing the 2-way com with Be6 for the radio stations and a decent app from B&O to control both music and radio.

:-))
