As many other users I've been following the Moment Beta 2.x thread closely to follow the development and improvement of the Beosound Moment from seing this early link to the final link published today (software version 2.0.66.3399-2.0.446.186065534) - I can only say that I'm extremely happy with the update which now includes the long lasting search function which includes my own music archive as well.

To be mentioned also is that I did not have any issues at all during or after the upgrade. The system rebooted after the initial download and software upgrade which after it then started to harvest both Deezer media including my local QNAP NAS library via Twonky server. From that it seems that it takes around 1000 tracks per hour; but something I need to check a bit more when adding more media to my "new" music archive (doing some major house keeping to ensure proper bitrate, mp3 tagging (using link) and what else link tagging software can find of issues which needs to be fixed).

While I'm still playing around with v2.0 of the software, it would be really interesting to hear others impressions as well and as well if there are still nice features which we've missed out which haven't been covered in the beta thread. But, so far it Rocks! 😁

Mine updated, but i've not had a chance to play with it.

Did they include the ability to add multi-room using the moment screen?  this seems like a no-brainer, rather than having to dig out an iPhone to do it.

i agree that this update is big improvement.  it is much faster and though a bit overly informative in places, in other places it provides helpful info.  navigation is improved and it is faster.  

Now if the obvious feature of multi-room were part of the moment, it would really be super cool.

And from the demo video I noticed that you can navigate to the next screen and even if you touch the moodwheel.

Even though this would have been difficult to achieve it's just one of those niceties you think "thank goodness". That's a nice touch moment team.

The best thing about the video was that how smooth the interface is and how sensitive it is to the touch - that's something we are all so used to now with pads / tablets /whatever and especially in many other music apps too.
