Audio:I use Roon and I stream via Airplay to my different NL loudspeakers, from this viewpoint there is no need for NL for me. BUT, Question: I often use "touch-to-join" when I go to another room to listen / connect another NL loudspeaker to the current playing one. Does this still work with the new loudspeakers based on Mozart? Or is this Airplay feature only available with old NL speakers?

I know…B&O virus has grown on me !
Yes thats correct
If you Airplay to one speaker, then tapping to join others is using NL.
The newer Mozart speakers cannot do this - you have to Airplay to each speaker, whether thats one or multiple.
The idea is that B&O are gong to add back NL (its going to be called Speaker Link) and Touch to Join to the newer Mozart speakers.
That update is not coming soon, from what I understand - and whether it works exactly the same as NL on current NL speakers, or if there are some subtle differences remains to be seen.

I think you use NL when tap to join so actually you are a NL user Only when you Airplay directly from your device to multiple speakers you bypass NL. If NL disappears, tap to join will also. Not 100% sure as I use NL only

Of course - I was assuming so.
I wonder how Airplay stream sharing via the newer Speaker Link will be / need to be configured on the Mozart platform.
mbolo01: Sandyb: If you Airplay to one speaker, then tapping to join others is using NL. This assumes that the NL speaker has been configured to support AirPlay over Beolink

That - definitely - has to be part of the job!

I've just been interviewed by Claudine and Lyle from Bang & Olufsen. It was a very good conversation :)
I've signed an NDA, so I can't elaborate apart from saying that (1) the main topic was the current use of my system and (2) the discussion went way beyond the things discussed in this topic or the next software update. Good things!
Also had interview with them today. Very interesting and positive of the direction they are validating use cases. I hope this will turn into reality soon.
I had my interview a couple of days ago, and I agree with the sentiment that it was exciting to hear some of Claudine and Lyle's ideas. I would love it if I could trade notes with the others who were interviewed, but of course will not do so due to the NDA.
Who else has been interviewed?

Hello ladies and gents,
I have been interviewed as well and I can say that it was very exciting first of all to meet the people behind the keyboards, and the avatars. What was discussed was very interesting and confirms that the brand looks to the future with optimism, certainty and great ideas.

I’ve been talking to my dealer yesterday and he said the Speaker Link update is different from the NL-update. Speaker Link has to do with some kind of native stereo pairing (so not dependent on Google) and comes before the NL-update. Speaker Link has been pushed back to make sure the software is glitch free. NL is still on the roadmap for the end of the year.

Just received a phonecall from B&O DK saying that I was not selected this time and asked if it was ok to keep my details on record for the next 6 months as they want to do these kind of chats in the future too. Also.. I was told that the response was overwhelming!They could have done it in an email... bu they chose to do it by phone! Nice!

Had the interview today. Two very pleasant people from B&O, a nice (but too short...) talk mixed with my bad english. ;-)It's a smart move from B&O to conduct these kind of research interviews!
