Missing basic elements that narrow the window of BS5's appeal

Yep, agreed! In the brochure, there's a very cool looking black column stand that could be placed next to the couch and the potato lying on itπŸ™‚

 

I've been told that you can not make genres is this true?

The demo's by the dealer are they also getting the software up-dates

Well, there doesn't seem to be a genre menu as such. I would assume that B&Os reason for not introducing genres is the fact that the system has MOTS (More Of The Same) meaning that when you pick a track, the BS5 will subsequently continue to play tracks similar to the chosen one (i.e. within the same genre). So you could say that BM5 automatically creates genre labelling for each and every track loaded onto the BS5.  

Genres seems useless in general when it comes to iTunes. Since when was Paul Simon soft-rock? πŸ˜‚
