The middle ring gets improved because when you heart an artist, the larger number of albums from the artists you have favorited then gives a stronger weighting in the algorithm to similar and related music.

Also, happy you noticed we cleaned up the issue from v1 where playlists would spam your collection with artists that only had a single track.

Playlists work VERY well now. Definitely give them a second chance.

Pro tip: If you have Deezer Family, try putting the primary account on the Moment, giving the secondary accounts to family members, and then hearting the 'loved tracks' of each secondary accounts. The Moment then shows the Loved tracks of each family member, with their names below. Whenever a family member hearts a new track on their personal devices, the track is added to the Moment under their own playlist, the playlist tile updates its 'slices' and everyone in the family will then have instant access to their favorite music and music discoveries. This also works great with the 'double tap to shuffle' feature. Since we added this feature it has really changed how much we talk about music in the family, seeing as we can easier put music on for each other etc. It brings back the feeling of the family having a music collection again. 

that is indeed nice functionality.... ; might actually persuade me to subscribe to a Deezer family account......

Another change I really like is that when you add a Deezer playlist it does not add these songs in "Collection" anymore. this way you keep your own collection "clean"

Aha! I have not noticed that! That is super good!

Hmm, that is funny... I have Playlists added from Deezer on 2.0.66, and I have none of the artists from the Playlist in my "Collection" ?

Yes and that is different from version 1 where artists / albums / songs  were added to the collection.

So sorry :) I don't know why, but I thought it was the Beta thread I was responding in..

Please just ignore what I wrote :)

After spending a weekend with the new software I noticed two things:

1 When searching for an artist or an album and you tap to listen to it then the "loved" "button" does not respond to tapping. Then the jukebox seems to reconnect to the hub and you have to do the searching from the begging. (The good thing is that the song keeps playing)

2 Defenitly they need to add gapless playback!

Just for the record, the mood wheel is working great. We had friends for dinner, one of them loves my collection of blues and after a quick explanation of what the moment does he asked me to tap on the mood wheel where I believed it would choose to play my collection of blues. I tapped the mood wheel on the purple/bluish region and the music started. Before they leave (some good 4 hours later) he told me to show him the screen of the moment cause he did not believe how "accurate" the picking of the songs was done by the moment.

The new software is what it should have been from the very first time they introduce the moment. It helps you enjoy music (yours and others') without having to constantly switch sources, or media etc etc.

Keep up the good work!

Having played with the new software over the weekend, it's a vast improvement! 

All the hard work that Lyle and his team have done to improve the software has certainly made a huge difference, until now my Moment had remained virtually unused as I thought the interface was primitive, ‘clunky’  and difficult to navigate, now it's a joy to use.

For a future update, along with the previous suggestions, it would be great for personal playlists to either choose the image that you can upload to Deezer to appear on the Moment screen (as it does on the Beolink 2 app) or the ‘banded’ album covers that are currently displayed.

Then my playlists could have a picture of me and my husbands ‘non-stereotypical’ playlist of  endless Barbra Streisand tracks could have a picture of him and a health warning…..

Best,
