Why is it so difficult to provide the same experience with cover art for spottily on beolik app /beo 6 ???
That is a very good question !!
It`s what I`m waiting for since I use Spotify on my BS5.

peria:Not at all impossible. Currently listening to Spotify on iMac with airfoil, controlled through AirFoil Remote, and transmitting to my B&O through AirPlay. Cover art displays perfectly.

I sent the question to B&O and look below , the response they given..
I became so smart after this response
Tak for din forespørgsel. Nedenfor vises et resumé af din forespørgsel og vores svar.
after I put the same question to b&o, I received the following response :
Are you using Essence to distribute your music? I have Playmakers in three locations. Any benefit to Essence for the system described above?
elephant: peria: Not at all impossible. Currently listening to Spotify on iMac with airfoil, controlled through AirFoil Remote, and transmitting to my B&O through AirPlay. Cover art displays perfectly. Similar for me - including ML distribution to link rooms. However requires my MacMini and I think the original question was directed to the BS5 and Spotify cover art of what was being played .....

I am pure ML at the moment.
I expected to go Essence (having trailed a PlayMaker mk I) however on closer inspection I decide not to.
(I really should change my Avatar )
Now I am waiting ... waiting ... still waiting ... for the multi-room answer to Essence.
(I am confused as to whether this may or may not be the much rumoured Moment)
lonfred:I hope BO very soon will come with a good alternative to ML. I did my last ML purchasement last month by buying one of the last BV10-32. The past 15 years I have bought one or two new ML products each year but now it will end and there are not yet any good alternative that will give the same feeling regarding to the basic installation and functionality just connect the ML cable and set the option and up and running.
I am afraid you won't see that simplicity any more.
Everyone is waiting for way more functionalities/possibilities, than we have had with ML - that is the big challenge.
By the way - we already have THE alternative to ML, it's called NL.
How to control 'things' in a NL-setup will be the interesting part.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
You did not miss anything!
We - indeed - are waiting for a NL compatible audio device, but the successor of the ML already is there, the NL.
And - what is audio and what is video nowadays? The Avant 'can' Netradio, Spotify/Deezer and audio via DLNA.
I miss a NL-based BeoLink Active, more than I miss a 'NL-BS'!
lonfred:NL is there but there is unfortunateley to much that is missing and it is unfortunataley to complicated to manage for the rest of the family and there is no basic modern videolink and no music LN products. I belive that BO has hard to find the modern red line again concerning one of their most successful product, the Beolink system.

Hi mjmedio,
that is something I know - and have written about several times.
I did not mention it, because it is an 'extra feature' of a device, that is meant for something else (bridging ML and NL).
If you can get me one of these (including ir-eye) for the price of the 'old' Active BeoLink, please send me a pm.
I'll take 5 of them for that price

Maybe you are thinking of the price for the 'BeoLink Passive'?
The NL/ML Converter is round about at double the price for the BeoLink Active kit - and then you must add the price for the ir-eye to it too.
I still think we need a 'NL-BeoLink Active', or a 'NL-BeoLink speakers product' (similar to the BL3500/2000.....). Maybe even more than a dedicated NL-BeoSound system.
