And no support for the encore. I think B&O did a very bad move there. The encore is for music not located on a BS5, so why? I'm glad I didn't get one now :) and I don't use spotify but it shows how stupid decisions will cause monetary damage to B&O.

BeoCom 6000 and so much else :)

B&O's treatment of BS5 Encore customers is nothing short of diabolical and has caused a big loss in credibility.

When the BS5E was launched with great fanfare ( and as the first NL product ) quite rightly dealers and customers were very excited. Each store was sampled 3 units!

Since then B&O have unofficially said the BS5E will never be updated and have still to announce what a NL system will provide.

In the meantime many stores still have never sold their original allocation and customers who invested in this potentially great product in the main feel very let down.

Yes the lack of support for the Encore has put me off ever buying an audio system from B&O ever again.   Worst product I've ever bought from them.

About time. It's a great service to offer to the BS5. But what of the encore? Why no encore version or is that just coming later because the 5 was out before the encore?

I suppose those without encores but with playmakers can used their iPads instead with spotify in the mean time

If the Encore ever gets anymore features, I'll eat my hat…… scarf and gloves!

Pardon my ignorance but how do you search for a particular album or artist on Spotify on the BS5?

All easy on iPad / IPhone but can't seem to find it on the BS5

Thanks

Peter

Hi Peter,

there is no search function - yet!

And how it then is supposed to work, no one knows.

To this subject also see the thread "Sporfy is coming......"

If there will be support for the Encore AND you can control the BS5 Encore with an ipad app as well - I will start considering this setup!

Thanks MickeM for telling us about this update.  I have also loaded Spotify into Beosound 5 and your are correct.  I does look great and works well so far.
