Now that B&O has discovered that the best way to share digital music is to use the network, how long will it take for them to discover that digital music can also be accessed from the cloud (Spotify, Last.fm, awdio.com, deezer, and all the others...)?

😁

I'm wondering if the updates that will open up the BeoSound 5 to wi-fi control (via the Beo6) will extend wi-fi control to the rest of the MasterLink system much like the MasterLink Gateway. Not in the sense of controlling blinds, lights, etc., but just in the sense of translating the wi-fi control to MasterLink control of the other connected B&O products in addition to the BeoSound 5. 

Perhaps Trip has some insight into this?

After using the BeoPlayer app daily, I believe that it was an act of desperation to make it available in such an early stage.

It is just not understandable why it is not showing the actual playing song, or why it is not possible to add radio stations manually - I wonder what happens to those who pay for "digital imported premium"content - they can not use it in this version of the software.

The only reason in my opinion is, that they needed to make it available together with the beosound 8.

I use it daily because I quite like it, but it needs a lot of work in the (near) future!

I am very glad, that there is nothing that needs to be fixed in the  beosound 8. 

B&O has never made it possible to display the actual name of the song & artist in BeoPlayer /BeoPort/BeoMedia 1 NRADIO mode , not even BeoSound 5!

That's why I shifted to Mac & now use the BMLink application to display this on my BeoCenter 2.

Only Mac third-party softwares allow this type of display (namely BMLink and Linkplayer), no pure B&O software allows it, I asked B&O once about it, and they said they didn't plan to make it available in the near future (and you know what "near future" means for B&O...🙁).

I hope that if enough people send them their feedback/request they'll make this feature available on all BeoPlayer-based softwares, it seems to be the only NRADIO app in the world that doesn't do that...!
