Why not wait and just get an essence mk ii and use BeoMusic 

think the only things you'll miss from the moment (apart from the apparently rubbish tablet 🙂 ) are pattern play and mood wheel

because the patternplay and the mood-wheel are the great inventions in the first place. great Idea - B&O just droped the ball on the final finish/ quality.

Cheers Beroli

Raeuber is 100% correct on this one.

Aussie Michael will you never learn?

You guys want this Moment thing BECAUSE is says BANG&OLUFSEN on it. You've turned a blind eye to the damn awful internal components and overall cheapness to the device. FOUR YEARS AGO, everyone on this site was complaining about B&O software problems and four years on, here you are still.

You're blind to see that the iPad is a million miles ahead of this cheap Chinese built tablet thats stuck in a box. 

You're spending all of that money because of one thing. The name on it and sadly, BANG&OLUFSEN can well and truly see that. That's why they try it on their few customers. Seriously guys, this is NOT one of B&O's better products! It's sickening how cheaply built the thing is!

But what is your role in this discussion? without real experience you weren't that constructive in general. Just bashing?

Ok, sorry, I will be quiet now in this thread until Beroli will post that his wishlist has become true.

BTW: I had some experience, after playing around with the Moment for a few hours at my dealer, I only shook my head and my wife asked me after trying to find her favourite song from George Michael without success: 'Who on earth will buy this device?'. And a friend of mine, who is not familiar with music systems, televisions or manufacturers of these asked me: 'B&O, isn't this the brand of the beautiful CD player with the sliding glass doors? If so, that new device looks really ugly.'.

How much time did you spent with this product? I dare to say that I have more knowledge and experience with it.

 About the name on it...... You are completely right!

But isn't that the same with some of you also? If the name starts with "A", it is divine. On a level which is way beyond my appreciation of B&o.

 And don't start the Apple discussion again. We posses sMac's, iPads etc.

I guess all of us like some brands, me too. But would I buy a Porsche Panamera, the new Audi Q7, the Moment or would I wear an Apple watch? Although I like these brands, I'm not blind and these products are NOT devine!

Some advert that continues to convince me of the feature potential for the Moment.

Just got an advert from B&O Play with an offer to buy the A2 and get a free 3 month subscription to Tidal HIFI !

Will Tidal HIFI soon appear on the Moment also ???

Of course I bought it because it had B&O on it. I do not want any of the other me too products. Like Apple B&O have a certain continuity in product design that I like. To me the MOment is both a  sound system and furniture. I want it to do both well. It just needs to UI fixed to allow it to be its best. I agree that one quick fix would be to allow the BeoMusic App to operate natively on the Moment -perhaps as an option or as a screen.This would, as has akready been suggested, solve most of the issues in one fell swoop.

 

To my mind what is needed is:

 

A "now playing" screen

Voliume control display.

Search by Artist, Album, Song title and perhaps even Genre.

Tighter control over Artist page - I do not want a load of Artists that Deezer thinks I should have cluttering my listings i.e. not in my Music or my Playlists, and whom I have no idea who they are.

Proper Album Cover display as BS5

User controlled Artist images - an Artist.jpg in the enclosing Artist folder would do the trick.

Bluetooth keyboard option as with Apple TV to allow for quick entry of search details

Get Main selection screen to reflect current now playing setup.

 

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Mood wheel or Patternplay - it the more basic stuff that requires fixing. All software so definitely possible.

If - or maybe when - Tidal would allow for multiple streams at the same time from one account, Tidal would be a possible cooperator for the Moment.

But since Deezer is the only company, that allows for this (and this is important for the 'multiroom'-use), we are 'stuck with' Deezer.

What I learned to do is using the iPad instead as the hub. This is more because the iPad is lying around and on a pick up distance where the hub is docked.

This is what I'm doing since many years, but without the Moment:

Buy an Apple TV, Airport Express or Playmaker, use your IPad with Spotify, ITunes or whatever music (streaming) service you like and just have fun!

Sorry, but that is not what you are doing!

When you choose something to listen to from the Moment or from the BeoMusic app (via the interface), the playback on the connected speakers/connected BV starts immidiately.

This is the beauty of the BS Moment and/or the B&O BeoMusic-app - they are integrated parts of the B&O setup.

However, if this 'magic' is not that important to you, there is no reason for you to change your behaviour.

Just keep on pushing buttons and change apps on a device, that you often have to unlock, before it can be used - it is your choice.

Maybe, when the 'multiroom'-update is rolled out, you will see, what you miss by clinging to thirdparty devices and apps.

The subject is not that we are stuck with Deezer, the subject is: this could be the first sign of a coming future cooperation with Tidal also.
