I am still in „bad“ situation ;-)I am looking for a new musicsystem wich I can connect to my Beosystem 4 with my Beovison 12 NG. I upgraded now from BS3 :-)My files are storaged on my NAS and I do not have a Deezer or Spotify account by now ( maybe I will buy one, how‘ about Apple music?). The situation is that I can get a cheap Beosound5 with Beomaster 5 and ripping tool. On the other way the Moment is the newer system.....It would be fine to control the thing with my ipad. Hopefully to get some got advices from you. Kind regards, Newbie

go for AppleMusic! i've tried all:
-Spotify, besides the mess with the BS5, has shown some multiroom limitations in my setup with the NL/ML converter and the BeoLab 2000
- Deezer was, at least here, unable to play gapless which sucks a lot when listening to live-, concept- or classic-albums.
i really am fine within the apple cosmos
Sonos.Beosystem 4 with Sonos works great using ipad/iphone and other tablets/phones.Ralf

How do you connect it?
Beosound 5 is Masterlink. Is it possible to connect it to the Beosystem 4?
You can connect it via the NL/ML converter. The BS5 you can also have 2 way control by BEO6 of your local music library on your NAS. And you can always continue to use the CD ripper to expand your library or just play a CD if still have them on hand, the streaming services you can still use via BS4.Stefan

My B&O Icons:
Located in Sweden and have passion for B&O since my years in school. Had the pleasure to be employed by the local B&O dealer in town in the 90th and got an education on the B&O product range at that time (the last fully 2-way integrated products).
Now fascinated about how far ahead B&O was with their Link integrations that you can still use to control and integrate 40 years old products in your smart home.
Prefer the older products since I feel those had a different classic to them and also they were priced/aimed more to the market so that normal people still had a chance to realize their dream and own a B&O product.

The Moment comes with a 1 year subscription to Deezer. I would get a Moment and configure it to use your TV speakers.
I see that you still have some other ML components in your system. Therefore, you would need a BeoLink Converter either way you go: for getting Moment sound through your ML link rooms or for getting BeoSound 5 sound through your NL TV. Since the fiasco with losing Spotify on the BeoSound 5, I would go for a Moment. The price of the Moment is still substantially less than what the BeoSound 5 was when it was new. You can use your iPad with the Bang & Olufsen app to control the Moment.
If you got the BeoSound 5, you can control it with the BeoLink app (1st gen) only if you have a BLGW. However, the BeoLink 2 app still does not have proper control of the BeoSound 5 music library.
