New features in sw-version 6.04 :
-------------------------------------------     
- The date for last update of the N.RADIO list is shown:
  Product Info "LAST N.RADIO UPDATE"

- New blinking routine
  During starting up and while performing consistency check
  of the database the LED on BeoSound 5 will indicate this
  by a sequence of three short and three long blinks.


Resolved known isuses / symptoms:
----------------------------------------------
- more than 10 minutes to startup
- No change SOURCE NAME to "CD" after update to 6.03
- Stops responding - only Windows arrow on display /
  generates application exception
- MOTS exclude list is ignored after upgrade to 6.03
- MOTS calculations not completing / music is disappearing from views
- Covers missing on BeoSound 5 Encore when music is stored on BeoMaster 5
- Double arrows (FF/RWND) on remotes do not work

There is a still a problem with FLAC files ...
Some of these files are not recognised for the MOTS function. 
You can play them when you select them, but they will not be in the MOTS database.
I tried to figure out what could be wrong with the flac files, but i can't see anything wrong, other soft does not have problems at first sight with these files.
I got messages like "MOTS result 2 for ..."  , invalid file  or "unable to get file attributes"
I was in contact with beocare, and they told the problem will be investigated and solved in a future release.

It has now been about 7 hours since I performed the update. I'm finding that the BeoSound 5 now plays only one song (when telling it to play an album) and then hangs with the screen saying "PAUSE." Is anyone else encountering this? Is the update requiring time to rebuild the database??

I had some similar problems immediately after the update. I will try it again today.

It seems to be doing a little better. This morning, it kept hanging and I had to use the remote to toggle between n.radio and n.music to get it out of the hang. Pushing the buttons on the BeoSound 5 would not get it out of the stalled state. I'm now able to get more than one song to play, but there are now issues with missing cover art again.

Mine seems to be working fine today.
Update OK. No new features, only bug fixes. Disappointing...
On the contrary. I am very delighted. My BS5 has been a pain to use since last update. Now everything seems to work as it should do.

I am really looking forward to two-way functonality but prefer to wait rather than having software that does not work properly.
