With App version 4.1.0 you get the option to change from TuneIn Radio to B&O Radio on "ASA products", i.e "Non mozart". If you have switched to B&O Radio, you must do a "long press" on your device to join what currently is playing on other speaker. Does anyone now if e.g bitrate is better on B&O Radio compared to TuneIn?

Thanks! However, that needs a bit more information. I am running the beta 4.0.1 and trying to update the app redirects me to the Testflight app saying that I have the latest app version. Trying to play stations from the B&O Radio part results in a ‘not supported on this (means an ASE) product’ message. Where/when and how did you get the 4.1.0 version - respectively where did you find the information on this? And further….how do you create a radio station list that you - afterwards - can access via the Beoremote? Edit! On another device I have the regular app version - that is 4.1.xxxx (got updated a week ago). No sign of support for B&O Radio there either, when I try to play to my Essences and M3’s. MM

What app version 4.1.0 will attempt versus what the product will actually play are different: an "Action not supported by the selected product" message pops up when I try to play B&O Radio stations, but TuneIn stations play OK (even without logging in), on ASE2 Beosound 1 2nd-gen non-GVA, both old and latest firmware.

All true. However (as reported above), when one selects a station, the app reports "Action not supported by the selected product". I can "multi-room" the beo radio station from a Mozart device to a non-Mozart device, but that's (obviously) not quite the same as playing it directly.

Although speaking of new features, you can now play Deezer "flow" directly from the beo app to a Mozart device (without the Deezer app). Unfortunately, the "flow" button doesn't appear for non-Mozart devices. Not sure when this showed up (as I just got my first Mozart device), but this was something I always wanted.

Not sure how Hiort got this/B&O Radio working! Today I received an answer from the support team ( ?). I got this explanation: ‘Det er korrekt at version 4.1.0 giver support i B&O appen for B&O radio på ASE produkter, dog kræver det også en opdatering af selve produktet, hvilket vil komme efter sommerferien.’ Which means, that the app is ahead of the SW of the ASE products. The product update will come after the summer vacations. P.S. They also mentioned that the regular app SE is ahead of the beta, because the had had to prioritize the regular one. MM
