Linux, Gadgets and Multimedia. In ye olde days a Cyprianus was the Wizard's spellbook. As a rule a Cyprianus manuscript started with these words: "Even though Roboam knew all the secrets of our Art he did not abuse his knowledge. Do Thou likewise."

Homebrew on MacBook Air
Install Homebrew from package.
Then change the owner of .zshrc to your name, and:
sudo echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
[SOLVED] Beosound Level: Amber light on all of the time
The manual says that there is a "network connection error". I tried to restart, but the solution was a factory reset.
After the reset the microphone worked again. So I quickly ran a room compensation. To my surprise it worked fine.
I could not set up the thing on Google Home. But since I had microphone issues before the Google Assistant is useless anyway. Perhaps it's best to run Level by the B&O app - and then sometimes stream the sound via Bluetooth.
Anyway these days avoiding google is the way to go.

Used more than half an hour trying to reset my login after a data breach on their part. Well, I have to call them ... they waste my time. Why?

Change from Spotify to Tidal
The Spotify app stopped working for no reason. Somehow I could not see the albums of the artists. At first I thought it may be for a few weeks, but after a month or so I decided to change my streaming service to either Deezer or Tidal. After some research I opted for Tidal
So how's Tidal compared to Spotify?
The sound quality is superb on Tidal. I did not expect this difference. You can hear small nuances in the music, like the very soft sound of cymbals ringing out for a while. With B&O speakers and high quality music ... it's a very, very good experience.
Beosound 2 is just one speaker, but with Tidal the sound is projected around the room - in my subjective experience this is clearly superior to Spotify.
So far very good indeed.
PS: I noticed that the 360 sound is best if you're in a room with closed doors. If doors are open the projected sounds will not bounce as they should. Sound is a strange world.
