Hi Mbolo01

  • Middle ring is playing tracks of the mood chosen. Tracks are chosen from own collection and from the outer ring

According to the promo on the website: Streams music from Deezer similar to your own collection.

I have tested the MoodWheel behavior with only DLNA content and it has worked better and better day after day, like If the system was continuously adding more proposal for one seed, but still progressing in the track alphabetical order and repeat in many tracks.
After almost 10 days with DLNA content only, I have added Deezer to the picture ... guess what? The MoodWheel does not work anymore as expected.
This looks to be a very interesting test, have to do it myself. I will deactivate Deezer in the Moment.

maximum 3 tracks are played before the music stops, most of the time only one track is played independently of the circle chosen, music stops before the end of the track. The only moment the MoodWheel seems to behave correctly is after a power off/on but not for a sustained period. I have reported this behavior many times to Beocare and response I get is that my ISP provider router may be the cause.
Again a very easy answer from Struer, I know in adding a playlist to Deezer it sometimes happens some tracks are not playable in my country, and its giving me a fault message (track not found....) in the about menu.
It happens that the Moment, when this occurs gets a completely crazy behaviour and if your have a closer look you notice that out of nowhere the Soundhub suddenly starts searching again for the network connection? White light starts blinking and also the green Power button.
It has happened with me, although not to often. Soundhub has been hard wired with a fixed address, and got a MAC-DHCP reservation in the router. What a strange behaviour!
To close this thread: latest software update has solved all the MoodWheel issues I was facing.

You're most certainly not the only one experiencing problems with 'the fantastic' Mood Wheel (or Pattern Play) function. It's been rubbish from the start!

As a music lover and a sound purist I only use DLNA (WAV / FLAC) and have been asking Bang & Olufsen for a solution to the following issues:

- Loud ticking noise at the end of playing each WAV file. Which makes it impossible to rip in WAV format on my high end music server.

- Mood wheel ignores compilation albums (Various Artists albums, which is more than half of music collection are just being ignored... WTF?)

- Very sluggish response after being in use for a few days. You have to reboot the system all the time.

- No regular updates whatsoever as promised by the dealership /  B&O. Only the iOS App is being updated regularly which doesn't add anything. I WANT TO USE THE MOOD WHEEL!! That's why I bought the Moment!!

- No response whatsoever after asking to become a beta software tester. I'm really a heavy user and have found glitches in the system no one else has. B&O should encourage this and use this information to improve their products.

- The list goes on and on... Beosound Moment looks the part, but inside it's just a rubbish overpriced Samsung tablet with really bad software. It should be taken of the market in it's current state.

I've been trying to get through to B&O for more than a year now. Without any result. They just don't take their customers serious and I'm really fed up with them. Especially after being a very loyal customer since the 1986.

My advise: DO NOT BUY Beosound Moment. Just stick with Apple and use iTunes (with the excellent Genius function) and an Apple TV for streaming. 

 

 

Hi, if you buy an Auralic Aries or Auralic Mini then you have a nice peace if high end streaming mashine that works 100 percent!!!

Is it possible to use an Auralic Mini in combination with a T1656 amp.

Or you could run a cable from you computer or NAS into your active Beolab speakers and buy a lifetime sub to Roon. Roon is the most beautiful, elegant, reliable and rock solid software for arranging, cataloguing and playing of your music ever IMHO. If you pay a monthly sub it will also integrate Tidal inside Roon. If you have a tablet you can use that to change volume or tracks from a laptop hidden away, whatever works for you. It’s obviously not as pretty as a Moment but it just works with no dramas....

Hi, the Auralic Mini has very good D/A converters inbuilt and you can get analog audio out in to a amplifier without any problems. The Mini also has digital outputs to an extern DAC if you want.

The fact that B&O has been working with beta testers for nearly a year to work out the bugs in the Moment, promises a final public version, and then announces end of life before that final software version ever comes out speaks VOLUMES about B&O and give us fair reason to distrust B&O. This is such a shame since the Moment had so much promise as the flagship music player for B&O.

Know what would be amazing a moment V2 built into a Beosound 5.

Now

That would be amazing.

It certainly would seem that it would be logical to replace the N.RADIO on the BS5 with TuneIn and replace Spotify with Deezer. I lost a lot of faith in B&O because they didn't do this. Giving in to the fact that B&O would not continue support of the BS5, I bought 2 BeoSound Moments. Shortly after that, B&O discontinues the Moment. I give up on B&O.
