Thank you for Sharing your experience. In my app every single device asks for migration confirmation. In the „beta case“ (thanks for the link) you are displaying that the migration will convert all devices present in the network at once (that´s how I understood it). Do you know, if this is still the case or can be done now device by device?

Kind regards,

Rolf

It is a somewhat funny update! It is unfortunately so that every device (read: every ASE device) will get the same information from the app - there is no way to exclude any of them.

However, they need to be fully sw updated. Otherweise they won’t play from the B&O Radio station list, but will still from the TuneIn list as before. Meaning: if all devices are updated, you only get B&O Radio, after you have migrated…..even if the TuneIn list in the app is still there. So either keep the devices at a previous not supporting sw (which I would not do permanently) or do not migrate. If you migrate and then see your previous station list as a mess, you will have to delete all, start over and add the stations you want there. Beware, there is no option (yet) for reordering - you will have to add them in the order, that you want them to be. (That is what I had to do again, after updating the firmware of the device, that did not autoupdate).

My advice = make a copy of the TuneIn list/a screenshot, if you want to recreate your previous list. But know that when you add, you add from the end - you will have to add the station, that you want at the first place as the last one added. This indeed is a bit awkward!

However, once you have done the migration and the reordering, the B&O Radio works well….I have no complaints there.

I just made a search in the B&O app on the word “Christmas” in both TuneIn and B&O Radio..

B&O Radio = 10 hits

TuneIn = 31 hits

At the moment, I have little enthusiasm for trying to make this work as Radio currently runs 0%of the time on my B&O sources, relying on my Auralic systems. That said, I had a quick look last night on the BeoApp and my Beoplay A6.

So I looked at the migrate box, then somehow lost it last night. Closed down everything last night and re-booted this morning. Migrate button back. migrated. It seems to run a simple code to find equivalence in the B&O Radio. However, the B&O Radio is not yet supported in the A6 (I doubt it ever will be?). Refound the TuneIn stations and made them favourite.

I would also add, that those with TuneIn, will have a tuneIn account. Here you can select favs and order them as required. The B&O TuneIn source can then retrieve these pretty quickly.

Edit. The whole thing seems a little half-baked and low-energy from B&O. My feeling is it is all too much trouble.

Interesting comparison. I did it as well and came up with 33 in TuneIn. In B&O radio I let the search run and received 10 hits. Then I spotted a button on the far right side below the search field named search for international radio stations" (my, most likely clumsy, translation into english). Pushing it, another 10 hits were available. Of those, 2 were the same as in the previous, most likely "international" search, 8 were different, so I received a total of 18 different hits. What I find funny, in both searches national radio stations were found. It may be that the search success depends on some kind of category the radio station is tagged to? Also, I found that if you add another word in front or after "christmas", you receive additional and different hits, e. g. "christmas rock". In any case, there are a maximum of ten hits, so the number of search results seems to be restricted but not the number of radio stations? Kind regards, Rolf

So is there any way to revert back to TuneIn?

Not necessarily. Simple counter-example: take a BeoSound 1 out of the box, config it to Wi-Fi, and tap its top. With no other B&O sources to join, it plays RBB-Kultur from TuneIn. (No idea what it does post-update.)

Trackbeo,

No, you misunderstood my point. TuneIn has got very average over the last couple of years with lots of channels not being supported or unavailable in my country. Monetisation or not, it’s fading.

I was referring to the gusto (and lack of, plus the absence of clear info/direction) from B&O! As far as “radio” channels go, I just want to press a button and receive the channel and don’t really care what mode that comes as.

Ah, I see.  But what prevents B&O from running its own pre-roll ads, requiring a subscription, or "curating" and entirely preventing other URLs from working?  They are planning to monetize themselves, just you wait & see...  That flurry of revenue-generation will not be so lackluster!
