Suggest you contact your dealer. The "real" update (non beta) is supposed to be out to dealers this week, and distributed to customers week 9.

So maybe easiest just to wait just two weeks.  Its worth the wait 🙂

Received a letter from my dealer over the weekend. It holds an invite to a workshop on the beosound moment, being a owner of one, as new software is to be implemented within weeks and they will be providing hands on instructions on it..

Thanks to Lyle i did get yesterday the Beta (sorry Lyle, for some strange reason i've always been writing Hi Clarke 😁

The new software is a fast improvement (wich is, to be honest, not to difficult). The feeling of the whole thing is now much smoother and most positive things wich have been written before i able to confirm. So I think we are on track. Here are MY thoughts after my first testings:

Search: Search is fast and i really like the new separation between Deezer and Local. The only thing i found strange is that when i search for a artist and i tap on it, the Moment starts immediately play random music from the artist. My expectation would be, that when i tap on the artist, it shows me the albums and if i tap on a album, it shows me the songs on the album. Because sometimes im searching for a song, but i'm not sure of the band or title. To make this possible you could, for example, make a distinctions between tapping on the name (starts playing artist or album) and tapping on the picture (Gets you down a level deeper (artist, album, song). If you wanna go a level up you just tap on Albums or artist again.

What i'm missing: I like to crawl trough the library and sometimes i see a song which i would like to add to the play queue. So i would be nice if you could to the that directly from the tablet (for example by tapping more than 2 seconds on a song).

Joining a Link-Room is still a hassle. I would be cool if i could join a Link by just double-tapping the wooden-ring in the middle (in my case, the music starts in the morning in the sleeping-room, then i move to the bathroom and then to the living room, so the essence is starting anyway, in the bath i double-tap on my beosound 1 but i the livingroom i have to turnaround the tablet and swipe a view times to get there). I know thats rather a wish from someone really lazy, but hey, we've spend some money 😕

But maybe thats just me. 😐

Cheers

This is on the list for coming updates, as far as I understand it. You can also press Join on your Beoremote One if you have that, at least if the Moment is linked to e.g a Beovision 11.

When you search for an artist, you have also the option on the same screen to browse the albums linked to this artist, as well as the tracks where you see the album they belong to. And to finish, you even have the playlists and the radios in relation to this artist. Isn't it what you are looking for at the end of the day?
