I thought all released products was beta?

At least the feedback I give on those you don’t care about.

Hello beobeta (Lyle and team),

Welcome to BeoWorld!  It is good to have representatives from B&O in Struer participating in this forum, I know that many members have been wanting to pass product feedback to you and your colleagues at the factory for some time.

Can BeoWorld members contact you with feedback for all issues relating to current B&O products?  If not, can you provide alternative contact details for your colleagues who can be contacted with any other product feedback?

I would encourage you and your team to take as active a part in this forum as you are able - it is a superb way to get involved in the Worldwide community of B&O users and enthusiasts.  The members of this site include thousands of B&O's longest-standing and most loyal customers, who have a huge amount of insight into the way that your products, service and direction are impacting on your customer base.

You may be interested to take a look through some of the recent threads in the forum - I think many members would join me in encouraging you and your colleagues to add your responses to questions and comments that have been raised.

I look forward to joining you in future online discussions!

Kind regards, Steve.

Location: The cable workshop, England

I have a sneaky feeling BeoBeta isn't a proactive person who will enter in to forum debates 😁 If you guys want to sign up, follow the instructions above.

I'll sign for the beta program, but I have to confess that this way of saying "no feedback=no software" is a bit rude in a forum where most of the people sent feedback about software issues to B&O and never got any reply.

In my case, Beocare said that they were aware of a software bug that makes some tunein radio stations unavailable (because of a change in the streaming module of their software) and the 20th of February they sent their last mail to say that they were thinking that a software update will correct this "in the future"...

False alert! I installed 1.17.24101.118790503 which seems to be a general update without any Airplay 2 feature!
