App version 6.xxxx

[NQVHNWI]

As a child, I remember my parents giving me those “colour-in” and puzzle books with “spot the difference” drawings. I was pretty good at it by all accounts….but my knack of spotting the difference is somewhat waning with this app release?

[Sandyb]

This release may put the “in” in “incremental”!

Still have icons (black circle etc) with no text, no explanation of what they are – when there are 3 icons squeezed into one row.

Still no move for Signal Info, buried in Settings (it is not a Setting!), to a more prominent place.

Overall, the aesthetics I dont mind too much.

[Sandyb]

Seems like there is full Tidal integration in the app now – looks to be a similar degree of integration as Deezer.

Not relevant for me, but credit where its due, that’s a decent step forward / option for those interested.

This version starts with no noticeable regressions.

One step forward: while listening Core on connected Beolabs, one can go directly to the Labs volume control by tapping the cross on left-top of the playback screen (on the first attempt, one has to “call” the Labs tab).

I agree with Sandyb’s remark about Signal Info. I suggest substituting the “Name” row with “Signal Info” so that settings remain in the settings menu and information is displayed on the main screen.

When it comes to Tidal, I would really appreciate to have the same integration for Qobuz.

Kind regards,

Yann.

On Theatre connected to a LG TV, the 2 tabs are logical (unfortunately, “Music” sources are limited to USB and Line-in, all sources available on NL/ML are missing).

On Core with NL/ML Converter in the game I agree with MM, especially when the 2 tabs shows almost the same sources.

Kind regards,

Yann.

I guess there is not much hope that we will ever get these (NL/ML) connected sources back again on the Theatre (as well as on the other Mozart products)…….but I do miss them too!

The workaround with ‘joining’ is not very intuitive – not what I would expect from B&O.

Was interested as to the extent of Tidal integration, so I created a free 1 month subscription etc.

Does seem similar to Deezer, judging by my screenshots below. There does seem the ability to save Tidal playlists to my buttons.

That all said, when I tried to play Tidal from the B&O app, I get the error message (see pictures). Tidal doesn’t seem to be a Music source either within my Theatre settings.  Perhaps that changes with the new BST SW 3.4.2.1 (26 th May) which I dont have yet, but who knows.

[Sandyb]

Apparently you do need 3.4.2.14 for the Tidal integration to work.

Just passing on the info.

[Sandyb]

Quick update re Tidal integration in the app.

My Theatre updated to 3.4.2 tonight, and now Tidal integration in the B&O app seems to work fine.

Multiroom (i.e. expanding out using the B&O app) also worked fine.

So, well done to B&O for adding an integrated choice now beyond Deezer.

 

[NQVHNWI]

Lets hop they push the boat out a little further and install Qobuz? Maybe by 2030? A little too aggressive in the wish-listing I think?

A new 6.xxxx version today.

Anyone noticed a change?

Presumably the changes listed in the TestFlight app.

Yes, it now lists your favourite Deezer artists and albums in a random order. Alphabetical is clearly illogical. One step forward, three steps back…
