Bien joué!

I got beta access as well (thanks again Lyle!!) and although the Moment worked fine for me in the past I think the new software is definitely is an improvement.
I like / much improved:
- responsiveness
- album display
- artist likes form deezer now represented in collection section with all albums underneath
- search function
- stand by function by long press
Suggestions for improvements:
- Ability to add artists tiles/photos when Deezer does not supply them. The standard (Deezer) tile when there is no picture is quite ugly. It would be really great iif you could store an artist photo on your DLNA / Twonky server. The Moment could then read that photo from DLNA / Twonky (in case Deezer supplies no picture tile). Of course other solution are also possible.
- Exclude genres from the mood wheel. Currently the music from the middle and outer ring on the Mood Wheel is hit an miss, with quite a few misses. One of the reasons (for me) is that some genres do not appeal to me across the board. So it would be great if genres could be excluded from the rings, for example by being able to select and deselect genres from the discover (or a similar) screen. Could also be a setting in the seen menu.
- Random play on all favorite and DLNA music. As much as I like the Mood Wheel I still would like a random function for all my music. The middle of the mood wheel (the "black spot") would be ideal for that (it does not seem to have a function now).
- I like the ABCDEFGH.... etc search bar in the main collection screen. I would personally like it to pop up only when I press the lower part of the screen; sometimes I just want to scroll to the artist tiles without it popping up.
- Pattern play can now only (?) be started from the wooden ring / panel. It would be nice to be able to start it from the other side as well, for example by double clicking the inner side of the volume wheel.
- No messages. Not sure if it is because it is beta software but sometimes messages appear (for example going to stand by mode) the messages themselves are quite ugly and I do not think they add much value.
I would just like to heart and then without doing stuff, see the album under "collection"
This is the way it works, I previously went to Deezer to check, not to trigger.
To confirm, I just unliked the album I previously liked, waited 5s, went to Collection and the album is no longer present.
What I have not tested is to heart an album of an artist that is not already present in my collection, this may take more time, I'll try and let you know
Hmm, this does not work on my Moment. I can heart all I want, nothing is being added in the collections view...
Cannot say if it is because I am using the dealers account. It might help to do a reset, but this I will not do on the loaner :)
One thing I am missing really bad though. When browsing through albums in the collection, or "exploring" new albums, it is a pain in the a.. that I cannot se what song and artist is currently playing, I constantly need to flip to the "now playing" page and back again. Even if I am browsing an album, and press a song, I cannot see the "active" song.
And one more thing, and this is just a getting used to, but something people I have shown it to has a hard time with, is that when browsing an album, it shows the list of songs to the right of the cover, but only 5 or 6, and nothing indicates that you should swipe left on the list to see the next 5-6 songs.
Almost all devices in the world swipe up/down in lists, or at least gives you indication that you should swipe left/right. It took me some time to figure out why all albums had so few songs :)
Not intuitive for people not knowing it, and using it without the manual.

The Moment is from the dealer? New out of the box or taken out of the shop?Already tried it, but it didn't do anything, the account is my dealers Premium+ account, maybe there is a delay before the collection is updated ?
If out of the shop: was the Moment factory reset? Were all NL devices from the dealers shop removed from the settings? If NOT you could end up with "trouble".

It was not factory reset, so I suspect it could be "confused" somehow.
When and if I decide to buy one at the end of this week, it off course will be brand new, and all should be good :) Might wait to buy until the SW has been released to the public, just to see if all are happy, or some other bad behaviour happens.

The public release will be the same as the one me and other have tested for a few weeks. So the risk for "other bad behaviour" should be minimal. 🙂

Does anyone know if the new software also has specific features for Deeper family?

I know, but... I work with SW daily, and I know that no matter how much we test, how much we "do betas" and so on, when something comes out to many many users, stuff will show. But you are right, if I do not notice stuff now, the chance of bad stuff are minimal :)
I think I will finally pull the trigger :) Also, multiroom is not that important to me for now, so instead of connecting a connection hub and my tv, I have set the delay down to 50ms on the moment, this has solved my lip sync problems.
But just to be sure, I will borrow an M5 from my dealer tomorrow, just to se how bad the multiroom will perform with 50ms delay.
Do you know when the public SW will be available ?
