    One Source at a Time

    • MOTS uses the music source currently selected to generate a play queue.
    • MOTS uses only one source at a time.

    Mots Calculations

    • MOTS calculations are based on sound, dynamics, and rhythmic aspects and searches across parameters such as artist, album and genre.Bang &-Olufsen-BeoSound-5-Digital-Music-Syste-FIG 17
