The Beosound Moment Beta 2.x thread

Did they solve the problem with compilation albums being ignored by the Moodwheel yet? Only Various Artists (album artists) are shown. Not the performing artist. I've been complaining about this bug for almost 2 years, and still no solution. Also, when can we expect gapless playback? Or can we playback WAV files without a loud ticking noise at the end of each track?

Shame on you B&O! I'm really done with the brand after being a loyal customer for more than 30 years. Their products keep getting worse every year!

No, it isn’t solved. I am in touch with B&O too, because most of my albums are compilations.

Hi how can I become a beta tester?

Some might say that once you buy a new B&O product these days you are automatically on the pre-beta program 😁

Can you explain me the issue? I have a lot of compilation albums too and I’m sure they are included in the MoodWheel process (I have 2.2 beta) and track artist are properly displayed in the Now Playing screen assuming they have been properly entered through the library management tool

Sounds right to me. I had the Moment fairly early on and it felt like it was alpha quality software.

the moment could use this as its screen???

This device is a cross between a moment and a device Sony did a fair few years ago

Looks more like my white Beoplay A3 with iPad. Only imitated with the wooden back of the Moment.

Real pity to see that cheap mainstream companies are copying B&O and the latter cannot keep up anymore. Both A3 and Moment are real nice products and somehow after short period of time reached EOL already.

Sorry for the off topic. Any ideas when the official 2.2 upgrade will be send out?
I noticed that the Beosound Moment wasn’t included on the list of devices B&O announced that were getting Airplay 2.

See: https://www.bang-olufsen.com/~/mediaV3/Files/Press-releases/bang-olufsen/airplay-2/bang-olufsen-airplay-2.pdf

Do we think this is the case, or merely an accidental omission?

Also, I recall reading that at least some of the past beta versions of the Beosound Moment software included Spotify Connect. Does the current beta 2.2 version of the Beosound Moment software include Spotify Connect such that we can expect that feature to be included in the final 2.2 public release?

There is no Spotify nor Airplay in the Moment beta software, I don’t think it’s on their agenda.
