Just received this from Spotify this morning:
Hmmm...first post and not a happy one, I am afraid.
I just tried the BS5 and sure enough, I get a message that I need to have Spotify Premium and log in to it. Well I have Spotify Premium and I was logged in. Indeed, the only reason I got Spotify was because of the BS5.
It seems to me that an immediate software fix is needed to offer an alternative, if B&O is not willing to work with Spotify on this. I will quit Spotify for another service (Deezer?) if a solution is provided.
I agree that some sort of fix would be needed best if it could be from Spotify´s side since it´s on their end they are shutting down the service the Beosound relies on.
I can´t figure out have I now should create a setup there I can wake up with a specifik playlist at Spotify in the morning on my beosystem in a easy way.
I can´t understand that Spotify close down services suppliers have relied only 4 years after they were released....If Spotify will care for their users I hope B&O can do a updated firmware that supports Deezer instead, but I´m not to optimistic that B&O will do that... otherwise could they perhaps release the code and make it open so a commodity could create a useful function of the Beosound 5 so it could continue to live...
