When THAT comes, even I might buy a BM/BS5 👍

Isn't the radio playlist just that? You select an artist and off it goes playing similar music.

Without meaning to be rude, have you heard spotify through the BS5?

i have as bs5 and pair of lab9s.  I can't tell the difference between a spotify track and a lossless track stored on the BM5z

maybe you have much better ears than me, or maybe you are assuming that its rubbish without hearing it?

Yes, BS5, BS9000 and BV7 in the mainroom. It`s a conventionell AV setup with speakers (5.1) connected to the videomaster.

Must be correct. I just had a look at my BS5, it plays "artist radio". When I move to "previous" queue, BS5 plays music similiar to Bonamassa, that I listened to before Tchaikovsky. Strange - but interesting.....(I never heard of "spotify" before)

That`s what I said in my first post. It`s a surprisingly fantastic quality. Maybe I expected just another internet music service like itunes, but it is fast, has brilliant coverart and sounds really fantastic with my BL5s.

I just tried the same and it does not work for me. Maybe because the 5 and my 3000 are in the same room as my BV10 which is set as a link TV and the BV 7 master is in another room?

 

Can`t be the reason, because it should work from linkrooms too, as said before. OPT 0 means the product doesn`t receive ANY commands by IR, only via ML. Could you please be more specific about your setup and its behaviour?

Thanks.

I have a BV7-55 in one room set as the video master, so that I can use the timer function in the BV7. Second room, linked by Masterlink, has a BV10-40, Beosound 5, and Beosound 3000.  It is late as I type this and I tried different option combinations including both Beosounds as option 0 earlier today so I am not 100% certain I am remembering correctly how itworked when both were set to 0. I think what happened was the Beosound 5 worked fine, the TV worked fine, but when I pressed CD the 3000 started playing, speakers were on, but no sound.

After have been using Spotify about a day, I will say that I'm actually really impressed!

I know that there are no search function, but it is just as easy to find a song in spotify on your PC/MAC and put it on a playlist and then play it on the beosound5, as it is to open the beoconnect APP and the sync the song from another mediaplayer.

The RADIO functions seems to be available already? If I hold down GO and can choose: start radio. 

I think that the RADIO function is really good. I have already discovered a lot of new music! 

I also realy like the fact that you can edit your playlists directly on the beosound :)

Another thing that is great, it that if you have a playlist, you can choose any song and press "play from here" which you are still not able to do in the CD mode. 

There are room for improvement, but overall I think that they have done a great job integrating spotify into the beosound5! I still love my device!
