Thanks, finally somebody agrees with this. I am really surprised that people are more concerned about missing apple lossless then operating that thing with Beo4 versus a 2 way remote.

Buy a refurbished or second hand Mac Mini, a refurbished or new iPod Touch, use Apple Remote or Signal then connect an Airport Express to every device where you want to stream audio.

but I'm very sorry: I don't want a second hand or refurbished Mac Mini, and a second hand or iPod Touch refurbished, in addition to 5 Airport Express refurbished... I want a brand new full-B&O device to my existing and working BeoLink installation 😐

Santiago, you don't need a macmini and any airport-express, only need a iPod Touch for controlling the iTunes from your PC. You can use beolink to send n.music and n.radio (press n.music-stop (pause)), and iPod Touch to view and control your music list.

Shopping List:

iTunes = Free

iPod Touch = 219€

😁 

Surely a computer is the best way to download and store music. All I need it is a simple way to broadcast it. 

Wait, the iPod Touch & Airport Express does this already. When its connected to my Beosound 4 I already have all I need for controlling digital music. I dont see the point of the Beosound 5. 

Do I buy the Stylus direct from Bang & Olufsen or from that New York chap? Actually do you think the MMC4 will fit?

BS

I must say I find the design OK, but I can't help wondering: would I pay 10 times the price of a BeoPort to have what I already have with BeoPort connected to my TV ? With my PC video signal going to BV7 and a cordless mouse + keyboard, you have the same thing on a larger screen, haven't you?😛If the BeoSound screen is not touch sensitive, what is the benefit? Just design? The functions in an audio link room remain exactly the same, it might be interesting to know if a video link room can get BeoMedia display on the screen. And a digital signal please!

Great to see that it can play videos now, and much more formats than BeoMedia, however 500 GB is large for audio only, but already small for videos; I have a 500 Gb disk for video & it is already full(I store movies in lossless format, OK), I needed to buy another 500 Gb drive for music files..Why can't B&O simply fit a USB socket to their audio & video masters, then design only the software part, and people would simply plug their SD card or 1 Tb disk at their convenience??It would make the products more compact, future proof and not dependent on any storage standard.
