Spotify on Beomaster 5 without Beosound 5?

Hi

I am a bit interested to buy and connect a Beomaster 5 to my existing masterlink network and MLGW. Will Spotify work on beolink app without Beosound 5? And will Spotify also be displayed on the beovision screen connected to the Beomaster 5?(in this case a BV-10-46 MKII)

I like the look of the Beosound 5 but I alreaddy had a good working BC2 in the mainroom and no space for more visual equipment and I dont wont to brake up the walls to hide the cables of a Besound 5.

Perhaps someone know if it will work?

Thank you in advance!

That won't work.

How about connecting an AirPlay receiver to the A-Aux of the BC2 and stream Spotify to it?

Alternatively a Bluetooth receiver (if you aren't into Apple).

That would be a small piece of almost 'unvisible equipment'.

 

By the way - welcome to BeoWorld.

Thanks for your reply!

That was said. I would like to also use Spotify in my Link rooms and be able to control it with the Beolink app and Beo4. Will the netmusic and mots be visible in they beolink app with an Beomaster 5 without the Beosound 5? I have a beoport connected today but would like to have the twoway function in the beolink app that you can get with an Beomaster5.

Connections to the A-Aux/BC2 can be controlled via BeoLink app, but what you send to the connected device, you will have to manage via the Spotify app.

You can't manage Spotify through MLGW/BeoLink app.

And no MOTS without the BS5.

Hi

Ok. It sounds like I have to buy an beosound 5 to hide with the beomaster 5 and then hope for a christmasgift from BO that they will develop the Beolink app/mlgw to also include Spotify twoway control, it have been great to only use one app to controll the music system.

The real problem is that it is not in the hands of B&O to do this.

How Spotify may be used on different devices is strickt regulated by Spotify..

I would not speculate on a 'christmas gift from B&O'.

Anyway the BS/BM5-MLGW/BeoLink app combo is great.

But do remember that you will have to configure the MLGW for your own needs - and the MLGW is quite expensive too.

 

Maybe you should wait  a month or so, untill the BeoSound Essence arrives in the shops.

What is interesting, is the 'hide-away box' - and the app (BeoMusic) that will be launched then.

Maybe then some new possiibilities will show up.

Sounds like a really good idea to wait and see. I also have noticed that there now is an new updated mlgw with Masterlink connections (fantastic!) so perhaps it soon will come an updated beolinkapp too or even better an universal beoapp that are able to control all beoproducts. Why dont Link also the apps...

Hi, it does work but requires some tweaking. I would however wait until the new Beolink Gateway is launched to see what possibilities that will bring.

It will not be displayed on the link room screens though. You can only select playlists that you have defined in advance.
