I will also start looking on ebay to find a second hand beoport or beolink pc2 asap.

Thanks for your encouragement...

Wait until it is finished ;-) for the moment it is only a Beta! Got to make sure I can get it to work on many systems...

You're welcome!

Hope to get a beoport in the next couple of weeks (none on ebay right now and even my dealer hasn't got one right now..)

Whenever you're ready, I'll be more than glad to give the beta a go if you want me to. 🙂

 

Fantastic progress

Thank you so much

Hi Philippe,

This is great news. I echo other's comments of thanks for taking this on.

Happy to be a beta tester too! I've emailed you my details.

Here's hoping I'll have Snow Leopard and the BeoPort working again soon 🙂

Hi All

 

On a related topic is there any word on an update by Anders Odlund of the BM Link software for MAC??

Your developments sounds interesting Phil, if i was closer I'd be happy to be a tester!

 

Kind Regards

Project is taking shape...

The Beta version is not reserved for people in the northern hemisphere...

Just send me an email if you want to receive the Beta version.

Hope you do not mind me posting this, Philippe.....just tried the latest version.....it is brilliant!  The speech synthesis is amazing!

Listening to internet radio and having the voice tell me what I am listening to whenever I want is very nice.

Congratulations on what must have been an huge amount of work that is producing an amazing result!

Hi Philippe,

I second Razlaw's comments, beta version 0.4 is terrific. A few bugs still which I've emailed you about but LinkPlayer is looking like a really great piece of work - please keep up the development and bug-fixing. Thanks for all your hard work!

Displaying the song title in the BV7 display is also a great feature!

Hi All & Philippe..

 

This looks very exciting.

My set up is:

Beocentre 2

beolab 9's

MAC MINI connected to a DAC MAGIC to beocentre 2

NMUSIC & NRADIO played via itunes 8.2

OSX 10.5.5

BV8-40 (this is the master)

BC 6 Television upstairs as link room which doubles as a pair of speakers for music of all kinds (ie radio, cd, NMUSIC, NRADIO)

Will your system work with this set up?

Presently I can play NRADIO/NMUSIC but have no functions with the coloured buttons, ie cant scroll through playlists

Love to hear more!!!

Best wishes

David
