After a year of MOTS generating random holiday music when it's not wanted, we now encounter just the opposite problem: There is still no way to have the BS5 play ONLY holiday music when we want it. It seems that it would have been so simple and logical for B&O to add a "genre" category on the interface. In fact, there seem to be spaces for additional categories on the lower half of the "arc" on the left side of the screen. Perhaps NEXT Christmas, after another year of enduring Christmas music in summer, B&O will get this right.

I haven't loaded my Christmas music for this reason.  It's one of the things that keeps my BS9000 busy.  I do wish they would release a solution for this.

There are 35 Christmas Holiday stations available currently under the Holiday genre on Beoplayer N.RADIO.

We usually select Das Weinachtradio at this time of year as it features a non-stop A-Z variety of German, English, European, and North American Christmas music. The station broadcasts 24 x 7,  which might be helpful to you as a MOTS alternative.

Thanks for reminding me about this.  It's nice to hear different Christmas music for a change...
