Interesting!  Where is the picture from?

B&O MediaCenter.

Seems to be cool...

I agree. Further, my understanding is that its only function is for ripping and not for playback of CDs. If that's the case, the ugly thing should be hidden away with the Beomaster 5 instead of detracting from the "floating" beauty of the BeoSound 5.

I agree with you. I will probably continue to rip cd´s on a PC.

People seemed to want one, and now it's there... this crowd is hard to please 😎

I'm going to move this thread to the Beosound 5 subforum where it belongs, and delete the identical 0-reply thread from there.

Still, I'm intrigued by the "cd" icon on the bottom left of the BeoSound 5 screen. Is it possible that the rumors of cd-ripping-only were wrong and this could add a "CD" playback function to the BeoSound 5? That would be nice if we could have the CD, with the n.music assigned to "A.MEM" and a Beogram turntable connected to the "AUX." Then everything could be connected tidily to the BeoSound.

Then, if only we could have a datalink cable adapter made for the aux input for full control of the turntable again! My daydream has gotten out of control. Back to reality....
