Hi everyone,

I just received my BS5 / BM5 this morning. After the tech had finished installing it, we tried copying an album by dragging it from iTunes onto BeoConnect and it copied just fine and everything seemed ok.

Now I've been trying to copy all my music over and I am noticing that as I copy groups of albums at once, although the music shows up right away under artist or album, the cover art doesn't appear in the Cover section for at least 30 mins. If I leave it alone, eventually the album cover art will appear. 

Is this normal behaviour? I have about 500 albums that I was to copy over and I'm worried about dragging them all at once, if it takes that long to process a couple of albums will it completely choke up on 500?

Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

Dimitri

Yes, this is normal. In some cases it may be a day or more before album artwork shows up. 

This is due to the fact that the music is processed on its way in and album artwork (at least in the current software) is not given precedence over MOTS networking.

Thanks so much for the reply, I was starting to get worried that something was wrong with my system. Most if not all has now showed up, but with so much music I can never be sure everything is there!

 

Thanks again!

Moreover, the BeoSystem 5 can be quite quirky and unresponsive for a few hours while it is analyzing new music that has just been added. You certainly would not want to add music just before enjoying the Beosystem 5 with guests. That would be quite frustrating.
