I also think the update is great, both Spotify and N Radio logos. Am using the Beosound 5 more than I did before. Thanks B and O for the great update.

I fully agree, a few features are still missing, but really a great update that seems to work without problems. The last updates went quite well.

I miss the search function + create new playlist, yes, but I have just added a few Joe Bonamassa albums to a playlist so that I can sit and listen to this music (before I buy it in lossless quality).

The biggest wishes from me are search in Spotify and an App to control the BS5, especially in link rooms.

By the way, I really hope that B&O also read these threads. We know Geoff Martin does read here, hopefully others do the same 🙂

Yes, a decent iPad-app....and the BS5-part gets obsolete - no use for 'that display on wheels' anymore 😳

Grrr! MM

I certainly don't agree. Navigating by laserbeam and not touchscreen is a stroke of genius from B&O. Just compare BS5 to your smeared iPad screen and you will know what I mean. Aesthetically nothing compares to B&O and you don't buy a B&O product just to hide it away in a drawer. The new N.Radio logos just add to that impression.

So to me an iPad app will only function as a supplement but that is also greatly needed as I (as of yet?) cannot search my CD collection by genre. I can search genre in N.Radio so why not on N.Music? I have asked B&O several times about this but they cannot give me a relevant explanation.

On the question of Spotify this is not a service that I will be using as I listen mainly to classsical music, but the update shows me that BM5/BS5 is still a priority with the company and that is reassuring.

Cheers.

Spotify has classical music

But of very limited range. And I still prefer lossless.

Does anyone with a Beo6 and Beosound5 have any updates about if the software on the Beo6 is also updated? 

The Beosound5 is indeed much more beautiful than any 'creation 5' similar app for an iPad.

I use spotify mainly to listen to classical music and I find a lot new editions I can't always a ford to buy.

An app would although be useful just for the link rooms. An app with the real look and feel of the BS5 - laser and wheel included.

At my opinion the spotify update already has a lot of functionality in its submenu's. I suggest everyone to try it out.

creation 5 works fine.
