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.

 

:-))

The BS5  Encore will not be supported anymore.No Spotify and prolly no more updates

But Spotify is def.  coming

 

If you want to use the thing you have in your hand you can connect a Airport express or similar shings to the aux inlet on the BS5. 

I can see the need for the possibility to use whatever device to play music. At the same time I want to listen to my music at home, without fiddling with spotify. 

It would be a nice feature with spotify on the BS5, but at the same time, people talk about the importance of really good speakers.. Spotify does not give the best quality (at least not to my knowledge) so why bother with expensive speakers? Then you can use Sonos or whatever when streaming music.. 

I would be like my grandpa age 93 buying a ferrari just to drive the 2 km to the supermarket.. :) Just waste of money.. 

I know everyone is different and listen to music in different ways.. 

"The BS5  Encore will not be supported anymore.No Spotify and prolly no more updates"

Not supported and not having the horsepower the full blown Beomedia 5 has are 2 different things.

Remember the Besound 5 is not much more then a display unit. For the encore they just fudged a simple and limited "something" into it, obviously much more limited then a Beomedia 5.

 


I'm not to familiar with Spotify but as I understand they now offer 320 kpbs quality and that should be enough for me who uses spotify mostly for party music and discovering new music. The newly discovered music will then be downloaded, in lossless WMA, to my beomaster 5 for "high quality" listening. I think that this will suit me perfectly!

We could all learn a thing or 2 from your Grandpa :-)  He worked for his money, so why not.  

I wonder if Spotify is coming to cars (ferrari, et al)

Double post.

I am very happy with my BS5/BM5. Together with beo6 it gives every day pleasure, whether it is radio or digital music. Ipad, computer can never reach this level of comfort and radio sound quality.

So i do not nderstand some reactions on this topic
