Great to read that some of you are having great success with your BS Moment.

I haven't decided on an audio system just yet due to the issues I had with the Encore - I'm going to wait for the Moment to have everything that I would want in an audio system before i decide.

Can't wait to find out about the multi room and also if in future multi room speakers or the ability for smaller WISA speakers.

I suppose Sean says it all when he says that he has rediscovered radio. 

I could not get the covers to work with my Western Digital myCloud NAS. However the Moment/Covers works perfectly connected to a BeoMaster 5 , only drawback is that it needs the BeoSound 5 connected also. Go figure...

Deezer is alright too, how do you like tracks on the interface when deezer is playing random songs?

You swipe upwards inside the "volume wheel":

Does anyone have a 100% score on artist portraits and album covers, both on the Moment and in the Beo Music App? If so, interested to learn more about your set-up.

Artist portraits is populated from Gracenote. Not even Deezer it self has Artist portraits on all artsts. I think that is quite bad. A

Album art is populated from the metadata you have on your NAS.

Thank you.

I have rediscovered radio and i have not listened to Radio for years outside of the car. I have the Beosound 4 DAB but never bothered to put up the antenna.

I have four stations that i listen to and that does me.

I have a question will the software update allow the moment to have locally connected speakers and speakers on the telly (ML) so i can have the moment in its own room running my penta 3's?

If so then i dont need to buy a active link and eye if its only the end of the month to wait to see if it is going to be possible.

I would except that (but do not know for sure). Would mean that you access the Moment from your TV as a linked source, and can play in your linkroom.

Hi JoostdenEngelsman,

I have a Synology 412+ and you are right, it works well with the BS Moment - except, like you wrote too, the mess-up with the Covers and the wrong order of titles in a playlists. If I turn off the Cover-View, the Moment processes the shared Synology-network-Music-folder remarkably faster. But the missing Cover-Support from Music, served by the Synology, bothers me a lot, since I spent so much time in the past years to have a fully Meta-tagged-Music-Collection. I tried different Servers (Hard-/Softwareserver) to find out, how the BS-Moment is processing a Server or Music and their Metatags. Still no glue!

As far as I know now, the BS Moment "reads" a Twonky-Server much better. With Twonky every Cover of every album is shown (100%) correctly. The moment shows the exactly the same cover which is embedded in the file. On the Synology-NAS it is quite the contrary. The more Musicfiles you throw at the Moments with a Synology-Media-Server, the more trouble you will face with the BS-Moment. The whole system becomes slow and laggy. I experienced not only issues with covers. If the music-collection is to big or the playlists contain to many titles, the Moment and the App "decide" to "hide" things from you. Out of the Blue - some of my Albums/Playlist don't show any title - they seemed to be "empty" - but if I double-tapp on the same album or Playlist - the content behind will be played. We all got no explaination from B&O, why they recommend especially only Twonky-Server. After my experiences I have to assume, that B&O tested the Moment just with twonky - or, even worse, that B&O faced the same issues with different Servers and decided to go on nevertheless. In the End - there is nothing wrong with your Synology-NAS. If you can "live" without the covers- fine. Your Synology is not the cause of the cover-issues - the cause is the lack of development. Every other Mediaplayer can handle/show embedded covers. The BS-Moment was not ready for the market. Period! Hopefully B&O will ask someone who knows how to fix these bugs very soon.

Cheers Beroli

@MM still like my BS Moment

🙁 My birdie gives me a whistle today, but it was not a good song:

Multiroom update delayed... August...
