Software Updates

• New: Improves reliability for UK classical Internet station Classic FM

• New: Support for Internet radio stations and podcasts using the newer https protocol. Such stations/podcasts will now play instead of causing the Musica to freeze or reboot.
• New: A new option to set the date format to DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY. This will be found under System settings (with the unit on, press and hold the remote’s Play/Pause key) > Time/Date > Scroll down to Date format > Select the date format you prefer. The date is shown in certain modes and when the Standby format under Time/Date is set to Digital
• New: An update to Spotify Connect per Spotify, changing the playback message on Musica’s display
• Fix: Correcting errors with TPLink and Eero mesh networks.
• Fix: Corrections to certain Dutch language translations.
• New: Slightly faster artwork/logo rendering on Musica’s display
• New: Enabling the fast forwarding of podcasts by pressing and holding the remote control’s next track key while listening to a podcast. Note not all podcasts support this fast forward function.
• New: Improved FLAC streaming via Tidal.
• New: Tidal login change. Note this change is required by Tidal for Como Audio to retain Tidal service and Tidal certification. After the software update, using the Como Control app in Tidal mode, you will see an Amazon login instead of Tidal. Select it and it will bring you to the correct Tidal login. Log in to your Tidal account and enjoy streaming Tidal on your Musica. You will not have to repeat this process again unless you log out of Tidal. Musica’s display will initially not show any Tidal artwork or meta data. However, if you change the source, such as to Internet radio, and then go back to Tidal, artwork and meta data will be shown from then on. We are investigating these issues but did not want to delay this important update or risk losing Tidal service due to non-compliance with their required changes.
