Indeed, If you remove the socket cover on the back of the hub (SoundHeart) for access to the settings menu. You will find 'Sound' in there, if you open this you get a submenu  'Loudspeakers', in this menu you can change Loudness, Bass, Treble, Balance and also a Frequency Tilt option.

I copied my iTunes subfolder which contains only the music to a seperate folder on my QNAP NAS. I switched on the DLNA service and pointed the Moment to this service. It was an easy setup.

But I don't see all of my music which should be available. I have a mix of music from amazon which is integrated in iTunes and music I bought directly in iTunes and a lot of CDs also available in iTunes. I think it is only the music available I bought directly in iTunes but not sure at the moment. I have to find out. Very strange because I copied the files and use the DLNA service.

@Chris => I am 100 % with you 

Digital music needs a minimum of structure and data in order to be correctly used by any Hardware + Software for playing them.

Unfortunatly Itune is maybe the worth tool for achieving that  simply because you are locked into the apple world (no Flac, automatic tagging...)

To me the key things are  1) choose an "open codec" => FLAC is among the good choices

                                               2) Organise your audio files into folders :Artist => Album 

                                               3) Tag each song with at least  the basic METADATA  (Genre, Album, Artist, Track Number, Track name, album cover ...)
                                                    but you can also add many more meta data for much more flexibility in terms of selection

                                                    (Rating, Bit Depth, sample rate, composer, author, Conductor, date, country, Disc Number, Instruments, Lyrics, Language, producer, year , ....)

 Of course this is a tremendous work, but once it is correctly set you'll get the benefit with any system

....or let a streaming service (like Deezer) do the job for you.

I see no need to fiddle much with 'tagging and coverpics' anymore.

And I can concentrate on the few files/ripped cd's, that I don't find on music services.

Even if I have been a iOS/Mac-user for some years now, I never trusted iTunes 🙁

I have (and have had) all my music as FLAC files, and have been using DLNA servers to organize it for many years.

I have spend way too much time 'ripping, tagging and organizing'......

Now - with the new music services (especially after they have gone lossless) - I spend my time enjoying the music instead.

Sometimes you need only a little hint...

I searched for my favourite CDs in Deezer, added them to my Deezer favourites and they appear in the Moment in Artists. This is working for me. There are some which are not available on Deezer. These are the only ones I have to add with DLNA service.

Despite all criticism bought a Moment yesterday. Installation didn't go easy. When trying to copy my iTunes library to a Synology DS214+ the system crashed two times. After using a new NAS it worked. Then it took really a long time (8 hours plus) before I could use the library on the Moment. Most art work is still missing on the Moment while it it showing on the Beo Music app. Does anyone know how long it should take or takes for the Moment to gather all artists pictures and load all album covers?

Patience, it takes time. Read the pdf I passed to BeoCare about the Moment, could be of help to you also.

Thanks Chris. How much time would you expect for approx 38 gig of music? Also, some artist pics appeared and now have disappeared.. And where do I find that pdf? Apologies, first time visitor to this website/forum.

Just look beneath my name, there you find it: 'Moment.pdf'

Thanks, got it. Do you know where Moment is getting the artist pics from? Album covers seem installed now although I have not checked them all. However, since the means starts from Artists rather than Albums it would be nice to see pictures with the Artist's names. Is there anything I can do to expedite that process?

Best, Joost
