That will come according to what I heard.I hope that despite the Moment being EOL, B&O still pushes out at least one more software update to bring FLAC support for Deezer (and I’m hoping for Spotify connect support too), which are functionalities that have been to my understanding been tested in beta form.

No plans for anything to replace the Moment - if you want a B&O audio system that you can connect speakers to, it's Core or nothing.

Hope B&O will come up with a new concept with something tactile to touch.
Voice activated oak. 😕
Brilliant!
Would love to get a beer with you if you're ever in Chicago, Cincinnati, or Indianapolis! Your wit is refreshing.

. Question is, what do they choose? Siri, Alexa, Google Voice?
BeoTalk!
The chances of B&O's fantastic software developer's perfecting their own voice command infrastructure is nearly zero. But, yes, I bet they give it a go. Then spend 3 years fixing it, before scrapping the idea and switching to Alexa.
from what i understand, they will be using Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant etc......which one (s?) is dont know... nor how they implement it....i think the idea is that newly released hardware will have Voice built in, which will probably mean older products will exist outside that Voice loop, and need to rely on app control....things are moving fast tech wise, so i think we all have to accept that legacy products cant reasonably travel alongside the new - i dont necessarily blame B&O for that.
But anyway, i'm not bothered by Voice control, despite all the attention it gets - personally i find it a bit silly, and doesn't always work, but maybe thats just me. I'm just hoping that the app development doesn't grind to a halt, though my suspicion (from what my dealer explained) is that development resources will soon be directed towards the new Voice path.

I would have really loved to see the Moment evolve for better use in a multi room setup, but I don’t think it’ll happen now.
I was holding out on buying two more, if Spotify connect and better multiroom support were added, but I guess that’ll never come to fruition.
What kind of improved multiroom are you looking for? My Moment is perfect in my Multiroom setup.
I like the concept very much, the Moment gives me all music I want during the full day, Pattern Play, Moodwheel and the Deezer / DLNA serves me quite well. My only wish would be to make more playlists directly on the Moment.
I have a multiroom Network Link (NL) system including 15 zones comprised of a number of Essence mk2s, Beosound 35s, Beoplay M5, and Avants, etc. I would absolutely love the ability to carry the jukebox with me and easily use it in whatever room I happen to be in. While I could use the B&O app on my phone, I actually like using the jukebox and wish it had a menu button for a submenu to select the system in my multiroom setup the Moment is being output to as opposed to being limited to the Avant my moment is linked to. I also wish the Moment's unique features (pattern play and moodwheel) were able to be pulled into the B&O app and usable in my multiroom system via the B&O app/Moment combination. I have no delusions that these capabilities would ever be added at this point, but I would love it if they were.
Cheers Jeff. No plans currently but if ever I am there I will let you know.Brilliant! Would love to get a beer with you if you're ever in Chicago, Cincinnati, or Indianapolis! Your wit is refreshing.
I won't miss the Moment - never been a great seller for me, but that may be because most people don't actually need it, and we don't push products that aren't needed - Ipad + Core, works well for most customers. On the other hand we are second only to Harrods for BeoSound 2 sales, probably the best selling product in our store...
Agreed, since the launch of the Core we have sold 10-1, so we look like we are selling what the public now want...I won't miss the Moment - never been a great seller for me, but that may be because most people don't actually need it, and we don't push products that aren't needed - Ipad + Core, works well for most customers.
