Hi!

Seachring through the intrenet for high quality music I found this site: https://www.hdtracks.com/index.php

    

They provide music in even in up to 192 kHz/24bit...

Has anyone out tehre experience from HD tracks, since I am getting a more and more feeling that I want to buy music from there...

But can the BM5/BS5 play it to?

I have purchased several albums from HDtracks in FLAC format which plays on the Beosound 5 usually without problem.  I did buy an album yesterday which causes the Beomaster 5 to hang.  I am still trying to figure what the problem is because the album plays just fine on other players including the FLAC player for the iPhone.  I use a Mac to manage my music and usually have no problems.  I have also ripped CDs in the FLAC format and the sound is terrific.  And now for something a little controversial........I don't care if Beosound 5 ever supports Apple lossless!

Party Pooper.

 

I am considering FLAC as well since I believe there are automatic conversion programs that can take an apple lossless and turn this into FLAC.

 

Is not convenient though. I shouldn't have to worry about this crap. That Beosound thing should just sync with Itunes regardless what format I choose.

 

And it should not have gaps between songs.

Why shouldn't that iTunes thing synch with BeoSound 5?
