BS Moment owner and - in particular - those with an additional A9 2nd Gen better watch out for the update due for tomorrow.

Not the 'big update', but it should be possible then to 'join' in from the A9/2nd.

Will be interesting to see, how improved the search function will be!

N.B. No guarantee - don't kill me, if it won't be tomorrow 😳

I am now thinking of getting a dedicated mini tablet to run BeoMusic on in order control the Moment. I would like to operate it in a kiosk mode so no other apps can run.

Any suggestions as to what might be best?

Do remember, that the BS Moment is a BeoSound, that integrates with the NL network and the BeoMusic app is a controlled app for the devices on the B&O NL network.

Those who like the 'MoodWheel and the PatternPlay-way' of choosing what to listen to, will need the BS Moment in the setup.

The BeoMusic app can be used with the Essence (2nd Gen) solely (and of course with the Moment too).

A dedicated tablet in kiosk mode would be excellent for that - and is what I have proposed several times.

I'd go for an iPad Mini.

P.S. The interface of the BeoMusic app is rumoured to get updated sometime over summer.

Eventually they'll make a decent interface with Spotify/Apple Music etc, all overlaid onto the mood wheel etc.

I am pretty sure, that they will NEVER do that - due to restrictions with Spotify and AppleMusic, when it comes to the use in a NL/multiroom setup.

I am not saying, that you 'should' use a seperate 'BeoMusic-tablet', if you run the Moment as a standalone setup (i.e. without any further NL products).

But you 'could', if you find it easier, when searching - and for controlling the 'multiroom'/NL it will be mandatory anyway.

Let's wait and see - maybe the search function now will improme so much, that - with some exceptions - people will be satisfied with it.

Personally I wish, that they would focus one one (or more) 'linkroom' speaker(s) to get things going.....

Will the new S3 just be a bluetooth speaker or will it be able to work with the NL as does the A9 (2nd)?

My mind is so sharp that I once wressled with a riddle and accidentally killed the answer. 😁

I think everyone knows and agrees with that. What they aren't likely to swallow, is buying a tablet, for a device with a tablet. That's absurd.

I agree that it is absurd. However I am tired of wrestling with the useless interface. BeoMusic works well. Hopefully B&O will see the light regarding the interface issues although I am not holding my breath at the moment.

As I and some of us configured the Moment & BLC correctly with the new software, I find its working faultless on the ML network with the NL/ML converter.

My next Wishlist to B&O:

- A Beomusic app where you can start, search and play your own made playlists made from your music.

- Moment Jukebox, extensive search possibility also on your own music. Not on albums only, but also on songs.

- Make a deal with Tidal Lossless, the partner list has been expanded seriously but I miss B&O. And let us choose the music service we want.

- Remove that awful commercials on some TuneIn radiostations.

Beomusic: version 2 is on the way and it works great with the Moment update
