I currently use a Beolink PC to connect my mac's itunes to my b&o (ML) world. Works okay-ish - not great (occasionally it seems beolink pc is confusing ML and I have to reset all b&o gear). So I was thinking about alternatives. Would I be able to stream itunes music via core and beolink nl/ml to my ml based setup? How would I swicht this on ML side? Does the core (sitting "behind" the nl/ml converter) react to some source button (e.g. AUX2). Or how does this setup work. My dealer is of little use as he wants me to replace almost all my gear with nl stuff - which I neither have the funds nor the desire to do.

The Core is probably like the Essence
In the BLC NL/ML you assign Beo4 commands
N.radio = TuneIn
N.music = Deezer ... or maybe Spotify
I know you want Apple Music - so do I - but this is how it works at the moment

If you don't intend to have other NL products, another solution would be to let the Core/Essence (2nd gen) be one source on an audiomaster (e.g a BM 6500/7000) on the ML-network - and manage this through the app respectively to AirPlay/iTunes to it........and using the A.aux or A.Tape/A.Mem command and volume control in the ML linkrooms.

Hi MM,

was thinking about this, too. But my 3200 is "full" (beogram takes the AUX socket). And the bv10 doesn't seem to have a sensible analog in (could probably try analog video)...

Hi elephant,

tnx, for the insight. So, no Apple music using core/converter? Rats...

You can of course use AirPlay from your iDevice

But that’s not as convenient as having a predefined source you just click to

Using the B&O app I also access my PLEX DLNA srverto gain access to my iTunes - but again that’s not a simple click

Hi all,

I received my Beosound Core yesterday and set it up to be integrated with my Beovision 11-46 (i.e. share the same speakers). 

Both Spotify Connect and Deezer sources work seamlessly, i.e. I'm able to stream the any song via the B&O app or Spotify app and they play on my BV with no issues.

However, I'm having trouble playing music files (flac) from my own library via BS Core on my BV. On the BV, it shows the 'link' symbol and music as a source, including the metadata, but there's no sound out of the speakers. Oddly enough, I can make a queue on the B&O app with both songs from Deezer and from my library and the TV plays the Deezer songs but again no sound when it is playing the files from my library...

If I use the homemedia in my BV, I can access and play any music file from my library with no problems. My files are stored in a QNAP NAS with a Twonky server...

Has anyone encountered this issue? I called B&O support, but they have no clue...

Thank you!

This.

would suggest you used the BV1-46 home media mode for NAS, Deez or Spot again via the BV

Use the Core in another room with add on speakers to build your multi room capability 

Ongoing issues that I’ve reported to Thomas at B&O:

Unable to add to queue

Core unreachable soradically or suddenly after an hour or so for no fathomable reason. 

Artwork appearing on starting the first track from an album on my QNAP but when selecting next track the artwork disappears unless I minimise the now playing screen and pull it back up. 

If I want to scrub or fast forward to a time point in a specific track the music goes silent, no time marker appears and the Core freezes.

When I start a Deezer album there can be a delay of up to 15 seconds for the first song to start....

When selecting a NAS track nothing happens and the track isn’t queued to play but then if I repeat the procedure it comes on. 

Core is slow to respond to commands on the App. 

No search function for the NAS. 

Overall I’d say the Core is behaving like an unruly teenager and it’s so frustrating I’m losing patience - haven’t you encountered these problems?

Is the Moment more reliable and faster from your experience?
