I'm very curious in getting the release notes about the different Software Versions for the Moment who come almost weekly. Who nows what the changes are?
Momentarily I'm having SW 1.0.10.937-10.207.235566614
The B&O Dealer told me expected date for adding Multiroom is May 2015, launched together with a very small box that you can plugin in the ML link to replace eventually the necessary Audiomaster. Cost of the small power-unit will be around 100 euro.

Aha - the 'NL/ML Converter Light', that I have been waiting for a couple of years now.....if I understand you right 😕
Please do investigate more, if you can.

Very interesting; definitly a step closer to buy the Moment with a NL/ML Convert Light added to the BnO produkt portfolio.

MultiRoom will be integration to all products: NL + ML. Means you can use the Moment on more NL products at the same time. And use the same commands on your remotes you are using now for the Moment. Will you have the possibility to listen at different sources with Multiroom? Yes, only with NL products not with ML-products. But thats good news, it means you will have the possibility to use further the ML-link as it is now and integrate the Moment into this link.
The NL/ML converter gets un update to make it possible to distribute the Moments NL sources into the ML, but you will need also a small powerbox to plug into the ML line anywhere, this box will give the necessary current to the ML-link to keep it working in case the old Audiomaster is removed.
I am planning to remove my BS3200 so my Dealer asked B&O,answer was keep the BS3200 momentarely until delivery of that box.
If it really will be necessary to get that box in case you keep the old Audiomaster is a question, could be that the old audiomaster HAS to be removed from the ML-link and replaced by that box. Expect more info in the coming weeks!
If it does and I am able to use the old sourse buttons for different playlist, net radio etc
My dealer is not expecting miracles from the ML-link, it will be probably very basic and no more as chose music or radio, next or previous station/song, start-stop. The more complex searching and commanding options you will have to make from a BeoMusic app where you now already can choose in the menu to send commands to the Moment or Essence, if you have both. But even if the very basic commands are possible, I would be delighted for my ML use at home.
What does Coverter Light even mean? Is it a light switch? Or more like a Apple Airport extending the network?
Com'on!
The 'Converter Light' was my description of, what I had understood from, what Chris initialy wrote.
Certainly not an actual, official product!*
And - from what Chris added, I now see, that the 'normal' NL/ML Converter will still be needed, if you want to integrate NL and ML.
The 'small box', he mentioned, is more like a replacement for an ML-AudioMaster, in case you don't have any anymore...and you want to keep your existing ML structure (is that right, Chris?).
The new possibilities of the coming sw-updates are already 'known' and/or have been mentioned in different threads on the forum.
I think we will see some interesting things - and ways to use our setups - in the next months!
*Maybe I shouldn't have used that concept.
I have already seen it in another thread - oh my gosh!

It sounds like it's a new replacement to the old BeoLink Convertor allowing you to inject the BeoSound Moment into an existing ML cabled system without the need of a physical audio master. Sounds very promising as an interim product to bring existing clients into the new domain. 😁What does Coverter Light even mean? Is it a light switch?
