BeoPlay M5 ?

Is it correct that M5 has no built in sources as e.g A6 has?

So I can not only press the top and play the latest source?

I can only join an exiting source played on another NL device?

That would rule it out as speaker in my bedroom. I just want to tap it to start Tunein, or have it to start using timer.

Spec does not include Tunein. Correct?

mine has TuneIn. it works fine as an alarm in the morning with one of my favorites from TuneIn. and i'm free to listen to another station than e.g. the Essence currently playing

So it does have a timer?

It has TuneIn, but you are not able to start that source from the device like the A6 with a short tap, you always need an app. Hope that a software update will fix this as I don't like to use a phone or tablet in the morning to start the radio in the bath...

It is unclear to me why this function is not implemented.

yes

try it again, marcus. with one finger only it doesn't work, at least two fingers you need. in the B&O video they take four fingers. i hope the top will get less coarsened with time, could be more fine 

It does not start TuneIn...

So I understood that you can start TuneIn even if all other sources in the network are off, right? If I have the M5 playing TuneIn (and all other devices off) and then switch the M5 off (so that the power light goes dark) and then start the M5 again with a press on the top, the power light comes on and a plopping sound can be heard (like the A6 and A9) but no music :-( in the BeoMusic App you can see that TuneIn is not startet... Does this work with your device?

By the way, can you connect the BeoPlay app with the M5, after the last SW-Update I can't connect any more.

Thanks and best regards

Marcus

all works pretty well with TuneIn and the M5: alarms, with the e.g. A6, different stations simultaneously on the devices. Beoplay app has sometimes to be started twice: one for bluetooth connection, second for wifi. have all apps and the M5 the latest software? with the wheel i can change sources but can't switch stations within TuneIn
