Yes - for those who use Apple Music.

A more interesting note, at least to me, is that some of their wireless speakers will get built-in voice control later in 2018. They have a prototype BS1 at CES.

From CES 2018:
"However, they (B&O) emphasized that it does not mean that their smart speaker will be a rebuilt Beosound 1, it's only a prototype they're using for development."

Whatever that means

I don't. I currently use Deezer HiFi. But, boy would it shake things up.

Anyway, what is a bit fun is that because of limitations of HDMI digital audio sharing, I cannot share the sound from my Applet TV connected to my BV

You can redirect the sound output on to a airplay speaker on a AppleTV since tvOS 5.2

I have noticed the setting in the control panel, but I havent got any airplay speakers to test with at my home.

yes of course, that works, but it currently means no sound on the TV! One speaker at a time vs multi speakers.

i got it to work with the sony A1 and my BL3s - however there was a sound delay between the 2 

This week Apple made ios 11.4 available for public betatesting. This version contains Airplay 2 functionality. But... my Beoplay M3 and M5 still haven't got the right software to support Airplay 2.

Does anyone know when the Beoplay software update will be released?

All the manufacturers are waiting for Apple to release airplay 2, I think they are not allowed to push their compatible software before the official launch...
