"Software update for BeoSound 5 to version 7.00 in April 2013

New features  

·Support for music service. We support Spotify on BeoSound 5 which requires a Spotify Premium subscription

Please observe these changes and differences  

1.The Spotify account is a single user license, and the last unit that starts playback will stop playback on the other system, that being a smartphone or PC with the Spotify application running. BeoSound 5 will inform that the playback is stopped since the license is usedsomewhere else

2.Long press GO when selecting sub-menus is changed for the Spotify source, and selection is done in the same way as for BeoSound 5 Encore where you can release the GO button while selecting and pressing GO when a choice is made. This is changed neither for N.MUSIC nor for N.RADIO.

3.Spotify as source is only selectable when BeoSound 5 is Audio master and will not be selectable on a BeoSound 5 in source centre mode with another Audio master. This is due to limitations in Master Link."

Neither the information on BS/BM5 on the homepage or the userguide has bin updated!

Looking forward to learn how it actually works from BS5-owners, please.....

Especially how or rather if Spotify can be managed with the Beo6? Maybe even better so than fiddling with the wheel on the BS5 🤔

And how to 'Spotify' using the BeoLink-app in a MLGW-setup?

@Razlaw: "Any other new features?"

·Support for N.RADIO logos 

·CD Ripping Device - Tracks from a double album are mixed up in same album title

Hi Razlaw and Peterbs81,

Hmm, all my radio stations in my list were removed, and currently many stations are missing compared to before.

I hope the radio cover thing later will be extended, like in the TuneIn radio App, where you actually can see the cover for the song playing if the station send this out. That would really be a nice feature.

It is just awesome! Much better than expected - easy log-in to your account from the BS5, then you get access to your playlists, what´s new etc. B&O did an excellent job with the integration: after 15 minutes it feels as if Spotify was made for the BS5, excellent and classy integration.

Now, I have to figure out how to get the Spotify-button on the Beo6...

Here is a little update about the spotify.

You add your Spotify acount under settings (it has to be a premium subscription).

In the Spotify menu you can choose between

1) New Releases 

2) Top tracks

3) Top albums

4) Playlists.

If you hold down GO on a song, you can add it to the que and you can also add it to one of your playlists. 

On my BEO4 the A.MEM is used to start Spotify. 

Overall I realy like this new update! The only thing that is missing is a search function... 

There is also a function called: START RADIO, which seems to be working kinda like MOTS.

It finds some similar songs from the Spotify library based and the track you choose! 

The playlists you make in iTunes are also synced with the spotify on the Beosound!
