Interesting stuff 🙂

Best regards Dyssegaard

Imagine how cool it would be if it gets expanded to "real" loudspeakers, I mean Beolabs. 🥰

The upcoming OS (iOS, tvOS, iPad OS, HomePod) seem to allow other streaming services as defaults.

I would hope then that this flows down into what the Home / Shortcuts apps can do.

And then these Airplay 2 / Home automations will enable a wider range of music services.

If so, I'll definitely start using them .

Interestingly, Christian's iPhone shows a Home Assistant icon. I would love to find a supported B&O integration here.

I'm currently using an unsupported integration which has some limitations and issues.

Perfect - and a perfect example of music being degrated to some kind of background noice.

When will we learn to experience silence -  and music, when we choose to listen, again.

True, but that change seems to have been going on for well over a decade now.

Sorry, I just sighed!

Maybe I should have written: ‘will we ever ....again?’

But I guess you are right....that race is already run.
