BeoPlayer App now on B&O website

38 replies

I just tried it and I really like it - but it soooo needs to support the iPad!

Due to the fact, that my iPad lacks a clock with alarm, and I will mainly use it with my Beosound 8 this software needs to be an universal app supporting both the iPhone and the iPad native (with full screen resolution).

One really cool thing is - even when I killed the running player (while have a snoozed Alarm activated) it restarts automatically to continue the next Alarm (of the snoozed one).

For now I rated it 4 Stars - but I will rate it 5 Stars as soon as it gets full iPad support.

Quite nice, will be using this as my alarm tonight. If only it had BBC6 Music.

The app seems to work well. Be nice to get the 10,000 + stations.

Airplay support? Then I could use the AppleTV connected to the BV8 (with screen muted of course) to listen to music. The app's sleep timer turns net radio off, Lintronic sleep timer turns BV8 off.

Shouldn't be difficult at all technically. B&O, will you?

My first check with iPod touch 1st generation: Oops, iOS 4.x required! No go!

iPod touch 4th generation:

Nice clock

Favorite stations: plays nicely

Timers:

Sleep OK

Alarm Clock: Shall test it with Beosound 8 next year

Remote speakers: If you play a radio station, you see on the lower right corner a symbol, you click it and you have the choice of your iPod or any remote speaker available in your WLAN (nice to raise your guest in his sleeping room, if it is provided with a remote system ;-))

Summary:

Nice start. A support of iOs 3.x could give my old iPod touch 1st generation a new job. I wait for more radio stations for not too many €/$/¥. I am dreaming not of a white christmas, but of NMusic.

The full featured app is planned to be at 12,99€.

For an iPhone App it's quite expensive but I hope it's worth the money. Do you know any other features apart from the radio stations that will be included on this upgrade?

Where is this? I can't seem to find anything like it.

There are only more radio stations on the upgrade, not any new feature...
