Not mine either. This is the reason I am so giddy about the Encore, I so want it to come above my TTB, because I have liked the BS5 since it came out, but never bought one because it just wasn't "good enough". It was really nice to look at, and the idea of it all was really, really great (i.e. the GUI and physical UI).

I already use Squeezeboxes, and even that is a much better experience than using limited iThings.

Anyway, crossing fingers for the Encore 😁

Do the same. All they have to do is offer the right software... therefore my expectations are not that high. I would already be happy if it supports the current BS5 setup, external libraries in a good fashion with a lot of play-lists and a good integration with a Beo6 and hence some improvements in navigation 👍

Same here. I think they have something, if they got the Wifi remote right they might have a piece of equipment that is digital and will be around for few years.

I am afraid though that most customers are not bothered too much by the missing Applelossless, the gap issue and other inconveniences.

I'll wait, sooner or later they get something that is right. 

i've written to the CEO by letter as I got irritated by b&o's customer service's online replies which were useless, guarded and unenlightening.

i've printed this thread for him to read.

let's see what the CEO says in person...

he will not say anything because it will be passed on to some Danish support person who works part time in the call centre and does answer to emails and will tell you a stupid story in bad english

I think they are well aware how important that is. People will pay a premium for lossless files over the compressed what they have now, also it is a good way to push new players into the market, just by offering them with more memory. See blueray versus DVD.

I think the issue they have is that there is no official way of supporting that. Someone re-verse engineered the apple lossless decoder and made that thing public, that is what Sonos must be using.

I've read that Apple is planning to license video airplay to third party devices as they currently do with the licensing of audio airplay. While it is not quite the same issue, perhaps this indicates a move away from Apple's resistance toward licensing its technology.
