ah, thanks for the explanation......and yes, as a Moment owner, the X app becomes very incomplete....

as a beta tester for the X app, i guess i should provide B&O with the DLNA search feedback.....they have to provide something.....in a perfect world, the search field on the Music page should search across both Deezer and Local content.....though i don't think they will do that....i am expecting iOS content (phone / iPad local ) to be added to Music...and then a untied search will need to cut across Deezer / DLNA / iPhone content, and that may get too difficult for B&O, though should be possible.....

When I tap on a track to play from my NAS, it literally takes 1-2 seconds and then starts playing. This is so cool!

The BeoMusic app used to take 3-4 seconds before it played a track off my NAS.

I have around 15,000 tracks on my NAS, please do a search function - at least for title name...

Keep up the good work NEO 👍🏻👍🏻

I've joined the beta crowd this weekend ... I got my PLEX DLNA server working with a few clicks !

Accessed my LINN downloads ...

And my iTunes purchases ...

Apple Music downloads to my iTunes library aren't showing up 🙁
I'm still having a problem when streaming Apple Music in that if I start my music from AM and then open the X App it immediately pauses the stream and will not play again until I close the X app meaning I cannot join the zones together without the use of BeoMusic. Is this a bug that will be fixed for the merge of the apps at the end of the month? I can send logs if needed as this is not an rare thing it happens every time I try to use the app with AM

Any SW which aims to put a user's media at their fingertips, and lacks a search function is missing the point. PLEASE implement a search function.

It appears the patient (aka the B&O software team) which had previous suffered from the seriously annoying "MOTS" syndrome, have developed another condition called "Pattern Play". It is true that some people enjoy interacting with objects displaying such idiosyncratic tendencies.

However the ability to converse in a normal way by asking a straight "search" question would benefit both patient and its associates.

I am unable to add a track or artist from my NAS to my favourites in the X app.

Would it be possible for NAS music that I love, to collate under the apps main interface like below in square tiles?...

Instead of scrolling all the way down and then trying to find the track folder by folder or however it is organised...

I suppose the search function will come soon but I would really like to be able to "tag" specific tracks from my NAS.

It's not ideal but I have several lists of favourites under the iTunes playlists link

Yep, i raised that same question a few days ago when the beta was released....

The old BeoMusic app didn't have these kind of unified features (search, favorit-ing) across sources.....so i'm not expecting the X app to be able to do it....thats more the functionality of a Moment.......but i'm with you, it would be great if the sections under Music in the app would be unified......
