I am not sure about the veracity of information regarding a software re-write for the Moment. On the B&O product page for the Moment it lists an American company Tectonic (GoTectonic.com) as responsible for the "Interaction, Visual and Motion" Design rather than B&O themselves. So who knows what is actually coming. It seems that B&O did not do an in-house job after all.
Even more depressed re: the Moment....
Tectonic works for/with a lot of companies.
One of these is Samsung!
Now tell me, that they are responsible for all, that is Samsung branded.
They worked for Amazon as well.....
Of course every company for their products let things do by other companies, that have more expertice. (With one exclusion: Apple - they buy the companies they need!).
This is nothing new, really - most companies have always bought physical component for their products from other companies - and still do.

This is true of car companies too. Most car companies now make only the shell and buy everything else in from specialists.
If you have a diesel there's a good chance it has an engine actually made by Fiat. And most diesels, in turn, have inlet manifold and swirl valve systems made by German company Pierberg. And most of those systems are notorious for failing, particularly BMW's who in their wisdom asked for stainless steel swirl flaps instead of plastic.... So that when a valve fails it is injested by the engine causing thousands of pounds worth of damage.
Sorry about the Off topic rant, but it is true that most manufacturers are now totally dependent on each other, and when there is a major design fsult it csn go on for years and affect many many products by different manufacturers.

- when you do a change in itunes new playlist or album you have to erase all in the moment and one day to analysis the library
This is, to me, likely the most unacceptable of all of the bugs folks have stated here, and to my knowledge the first I've heard of this.
Likely the one which would cause me not to consider a device like this at all. I do understand the need for the Moment to analyze for the mood wheel, etc. But a small change should merely be compared/added to the last full analysis. Surely this is low hanging fruit for the next version of software to address.
This will also be a feature of Windows 10: If you create a new excel sheet you have to create all existing sheets again.😁RäuberThis is, to me, likely the most unacceptable of all of the bugs folks have stated here, and to my knowledge the first I've heard of this.

What exactly is your point here. Tectonic are responsible for the UI of the Moment as it stands regardless of who elese they may consult to.

This remark falls in a category like: "what is the color of grass? .........."cow".

When you ask someone else to do a job for you, you usually tell them, what you expect from them, how the main concept should be.
Besides, the BeoSound Moment is more than just a UI.
Imo - the concept of the BS Moment originates in the ideas, that B&O have worked at for some years now - no matter which company made the actual UI.
May I ask you, what is your point of posting this already known fact here?
