Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 5

Bang & Olufsen's BeoSound 5 digital music system not only gives your digital music a strong physical presence through its unique user interface; it also integrates intelligent playlist technology for optimal user convenience and a radically improved listening experience.

MOTS – More Of The Same

But the best part is probably the truly unique MOTS (More Of The Same) intelligent playlist technology. MOTS automatically captures the unique musical identity of a track, and then uses this to compile a playlist of similar music. Letting MOTS do all the work, you can consequently discover the hidden gems of your record collection simply by putting on one of your favourite tracks. And, of course, your family and friends can do the same whenever you’ll let them.

The advanced mathematics behind the MOTS software algorithm have been devised in collaboration between Bang & Olufsen and OFAI, the Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence.

Leading researcher at Bang & Olufsen John Hammer explains: “MOTS considers a stunning number of musical attributes to capture the unique musical identity of the track you have chosen. On the basis of this comprehensive analysis, MOTS automatically compiles a playlist, playing you more of the music you like or ‘More of The Same’ while at the same time introducing some variation to make your musical journey as exciting as possible.”

Pure audio intuition

Whenever you choose a song, it’s like planting a seed which MOTS grows into a playlist of similar music. Unlike other services which simply use tag information such as genre and artist to create playlists, MOTS actually analyzes the music using parameters such as sound, timbre, rhythm and other acoustic attributes to select similar tracks and create a smooth journey through your collection. In addition, you can store 99 seeds in your favourites, which equates to 99 instant playlists based on your preferences.

The award-winning MOTS concept - with two patents pending - is only available from Bang & Olufsen, and has so far only been integrated into the BeoSound digital music system. In an era of digital everything, BeoSound 5 is therefore your exclusive ticket to the most intuitive listening experience on the planet.
