My post above is crippled too. Some words are missing, some deleted phrases are still in the post. I can not edit a post with the iPad. Is this normal? You see, sometimes I can not even write in a proper way - and I am weeping about B&O's Quality Issues.

It's late in Singapore - therefore so sorry.

Hi Beroli,

"You can hate or love the Idea of the Moment. I love the Idea, thats why I've the Moment. But the flaws (pathetic, crippled, lousy Search-Function, missing, missplaced Covers, bad Compatibility/connectivity to different DLNA-Servers...) are undeniable."

Sounds like: "I love the idea to fly to the mars, that's why I have a car. But because my car is not able to fly is undeniable".😁

Cheers

I can understand the frustration too. B&O forgot to produce a proper manual, they didn't teach their dealers in a proper way, B&O-Care don't response to customers questions in a proper way, they didn't anounced a honest schedule, when everything will be fixed. There are only rumors about this and this.

Hi. There is one good thing though on the B&O website there are videos on how to use it which is sometimes better than a manual. It's actually quite good 😁

Yeah, normal. The Apple fan boys will tell you Apple knows better than you do what functionality you need. With Apple it's never a bug, it's a feature! 😁

Is MM the 'Post champion'?

I have tried really hard to like the Moment - it is great idea, great design, but is hamstrung by the terrible interface - you have no idea how difficult it is for me to admit this. This product needs a new interface and fast. The BeoMusic app on my iphone is a better way to control the Moment. In trying to develop a new music concept they have thrown the baby out with the bathwater. Perhaps they should have tried to update the BeoSound 5 concept with some of the icloud deas of the moment. Perhaps I need to give it more time but at the moment I am so so disappointed... πŸ™

Hopefully change is coming but I cannot believe they did not do a better job in the first place.

You are not the last to be disappointed by the BS Moment.

The BeoMusic app is the interface for controlling the new B&O audio multiroom functions in the NL-network.

The BS Moment (with PatternPay and MoodWheel) is a new/different way of interacting with music in a B&O (multiroom) setup.

Obvisiously some people don't find this way of interacting usefull - and want a more direct way of choosing what to listen to.

The BeoMusic app in conjunction with the BS Essence (2nd Generation) might be a more suitable way for these.

Both 'ways' will have their fans - and both 'ways' should be/are offered from B&O.

And then there is the possibility of using 3rd Party apps (DLNA/AirPlay based) with the B&O products. But that won't give you the seemless integration with the B&O hardware/network like the native B&O products - no 'one touch access' or direct controlling of the hardware.

 

Everyone should have/find their own preferences.

However, there is no need for anyone to defame the preferences of other people, or declare a product a failure, because he personally doesn't need or like it.

I do not think I am defaiming anyone or anything. I am expressing my frustration with this product. No need to be so defensive. Clearly there are some issues with the Moment - there is no point in pretending otrherwise. I am quite literally the last person to criticise B&O products but this is to my mind a great disappointment. MM please do not insult me just because I do not agree with you.I have purchased this product with the best of intentions - it just does not work that well.

@ Propaganda

Ask your dealer to refund your money and buy a BeoSound Essence 2nd generation with an IPad mini. πŸ€’
