Not available to me in the US yet.  It's always a bit of a roll of the dice, but I don't think there's been a "bad" release in a few years.  I will probably upgrade when I am able.

my BS Shape has this version...... until now no issues. note: the A6 and BS35 have the (beta) version since some time 2.1.50399 installed. Both work as supposed. The BS35 has a strange phenomenon: the display keeps displaying "visible as..." after a disconnection from the mains. This is solved by doing a factory reset and reinstall the settings. addition: the M3 has v2.1.50872

Although I wrote that my Edge is stable Spotify connect actually can use some improvement. Selecting the Edge sometimes takes 2 of 3 attempts before it starts playing. And since Spotify connect improvements are mentioned I will give this update a go and report back here.

The changelog seems quite limited for a big version step up (from 1.x to 2.1)!

On my side it seems that the volume wheel on the B&O app has finally been « recalibrated » so that the volume is not high just after the middle of the wheel.

For my Essence MK II an update was in the app this evening and it is now on 2.1.50867. I do not know what the update has changed. Although I have the „automatic update“ function enabled, I had to trigger it manually. I will keep an eye on it.

Beosound 2 updated as described in previous post to 2.1.50871. Emerge is still on 1.8.10017.

My dream became reality !!! :) :) :) !!!

Unbelievable, with the software update 2.1.50867 my two Beosound 35 are now displaying the title and artist when streaming via Airplay at the Beosound 35 display as well as at the B&O app. So far it only displayed "AirPlay".

It took Bang&Olufsen more than 6 years to realize this feature!

I use Roon Labs and stream via Airplay from my Roon Core to my loudspeakers. I really enjoy that my Beosound 35 are displaying the current song, now. A really nice feature.

I started to think about purchasing some more Beosound 35's (even it is discontinued) to replace some non-B&O speakers.

I also think the behavior of the join command (beo4 and BLI/BLGW) has changed with 2.1.50867.

before 2.1.50867 you could join a running source from the link-room, and if there was none running, the last selected local source was played.

after 2.1.50867, the last selected local source is not played (if no source is playing in the link- room). - you can´t start the system with the beo4 join command without a running link-source.
