I’ve had my Moment since launch.

As you may see in various threads, it’s been a bumpy ride but resent software updates has made Moment a really nice product in my mind.

If you can find a second life product I would rather invest in that than try to revive a BS5.

I find it unlikely that BO would release a new Beosound/centre.

Think the time for such devices are gone.

I am considering a second hand product as they are reasonably priced here. So based on your information that may be the best solution.

The Moment offers all the functionalities that I miss with my current set up, and I have been looking in that direction for some time. I was just concerned that I might buy a product that B&O was no longer supporting. Based on my experience with BM5/BS5 that is still an issue.

thanks.

According to the info I have is that B&O have the ambition to continue to support the Moment for a foreseeable future.

They hopefully learned from the mistakes around Spotify and BS5. 

Just out of curiosity, what specific features do you miss in BS5 that you see that Moment support? 

BS5 only 4 playlist

No deezer tidal Qobus

If you have a large music collection the BS5 can't handel it.

No cellphone app

This is good news.

I really like the BM5, its design and layout is amazing. Besides - of course - very good sound.

But I have 500+ CDs stored and navigating them is difficult. Yes, there are playlists but I want a more logical system where I can find music according to category. For instance, choosing only opera or jazz. This is not possible. Spotify does not work and NRadio becomes increasingly annoying, Often links to stations disappear. I would like remote control and have tried Creation5 on iPad. But this does not work properly. (Haven’t tried Beo6, though)

(I understand that the Moment can be controlled via a detachable screen. How does this work?)

I would like to give Deezer a try, and TuneIn seems to be a proper replacement of NRadio.

Regards

I think playlists are useless. I want to be able to search categories.

I thought Moment only supported Deezer. Can you choose other streaming services? Is Apple Music supported on Moment?

Regards.

Moment only fully support Deezer HiFi. You cannot add other streaming services. Apple Music is not supported.

For the music you have on your NAS, Moment only display them sorted by artist. You can search, and that search is over both your own collection and the albums you have marked as favorites in Deezer.

I think Tunein is a good radio service, so Im sure that is a good replacement for NRadio. 

You can control Moment either through the detachable screen, remote (only volumes and next track) or the B&O app on your phone.

Here you can see some of the features and how they work in the version 2 firmware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43QTgzzYjWw&t=13s

I have music tagged with catagories, for instance “opera”, “classical”, “jazz” etc. Can I search for a category and then have only my - for example - “classical” music CDs displayed?

Thanks for the link. I’ll have look.
