Out of topic for this thread but for using DLNA you need to have your music on e.g a NAS.

That NAS most likely will have a music server using DLNA. This will enable the app to access your music files and they will appear under the Music tab, far down under the Deezer content.

I apologize, my intention was not to divert from the beta testing but to learn if I can add my input in a context.

Thank you for the visually charged example and clarifying its functionality. I’ve learned a lot today! :)

Are you thinking about the Apple Music being able to leverage Beolink protocol to stream music to B&O speakers? If this is the case, then I think you'll never see it happen. B&O almost dropped Beolink from their agenda, they are painfully adding it back to their new products .... making Beolink protocol a worldwide standard that can be deployed on Apple AND Android platforms to start with is like swimming in Mars IMHO.

Just to clarify, in iOS Apple has the standard «Music» app in which they have started offering the «Apple Music» subscription service. I don’t use the subscription service so I was simply referring to the local «Music» app that I synchronize my audio files to. I know it would be insane to expect that there would be any possibility to BeoLink from there directly. I only became aware of the challenge now that I was looking into multiroom. So I do hope B&O can fix the missing option to activate AirPlay multiroom for the Balance so that I can initiate a multiroom setup with a Balance.

B&O released the BS Moment which was really helping on this front, unfortunately they dropped this excellent concept (it was never really finished)

I would recommend Minimserver DLNA server, it requires a minimum tech skills, but it has more and clever navigation options than any other DLNA servers. You should have a look, it runs on a computer as well as on different well known NAS, as your collection grows.

You also have other solutions like Plex or Roon, which are kind of Deezer or Spotify at home. I'm personally using Plex/Plexamp and I had no problems switching from DLNA to Airplay as this solution brings me so many new options for listening to my music, it is simply unbelievable.

Again, thanks a lot for the insight and explaining this option. The entire discussion has given me some things to think about, when it comes to how exactly I want to consume my music catalog and what solutions exist that I have not been familiar with. When it comes to DLNA, I do have a sort of semi-organized music catalog, but I see your point why this could be difficult to maintain. In any case, thank you for providing some names. I’ll have something to explore during my Christmas holiday :). Until then I’m happy I can «beolink» my Balance in two scenarios that have been a priority for me and that I would not have been able to do earlier.

Question for Hiort, when will this ersion go final?

I have no insight to that. Sometime in December is my personal guess.

My BL28 are stereo paired and wisa connected with beta sw without problems.

Yeah that's an option.

But I must do a reset for the Secondary speaker to get it work again.

Its the second time I di that.

Then , from Apple TV. I have echo when I use all four speakers.

BL 28 powerlink

. This reads like you Airplay to the BL28 and and to your tv separately. Aren't the BL28 part of your tv setup? Then I would only Airplay to the tv and make for example a speaker-group in your tv with only stereo settings for the speakers (BL17 front left/right, BL28 front left/right).
