I will of course not downgrade all the new functionality and how useful those could be to all you other guys. It´s good that the system get new nice things that can attract more customers so B&O can develop the product even more 😁

No, no, that wasn't my intention to imply at all!

I just meant that you could rest assured that there were no difference at all between the different formats in the resulting sound, so you should just use the format that fits you the best, no matter which lossless format it is, knowing that your choice is just as good as everyone elses.

After turning the "music server" option "on", the "BeoMaster5" now shows up on the PS3 menu! Complete with tags, cover art, and navigation. In fact, it also includes "genre" for navigation - a feature that the BeoSound 5 sadly lacks. I'm eager to see if this shows up on network-connected blu-ray players as well.

It DOES. The Sony blu-ray players in the bedroom and den now show "BeoMaster5" on their menus. Total access to and navigation of the music on the BeoMaster 5. However, unlike the PS3, the Sony blu-ray players did not show the cover art.

Has anybody been able to transfer a FLAC file to their BS5/BM5 via BeoConnect (v1.21.00 - which I downloaded tonight)? 

I have had some .aiff files that I used XLD to convert to .flac

When I drop them into BeoConnect, it says "<filename>" in an invalid file type".

I tried both .flac and .flc as extensions.

not suprising.

I tried the beoplayer. Would it recocnized a Flac file. It didn't.

Until now nothing has been changed on the BeoConnect and the Beoplayer side of things

I just used the Windows Explorer or Finder (Mac), I can't remember which one, to copy a Flac file to the BM5. The file tag was read and the content was played by the BS5 without any problems 

Does it works with apple tv 2 too? with server option.

The Apple TV menu interface only works with iTunes libraries. However, there are some UPnP apps for the iPad that work brilliantly. They show the cover art, tags, and categories of what's on the BeoMaster 5. Then, you can simply stream the music to the Apple TV using AirPlay. I find the iPad to be the ideal way of browsing through music. The touch-responsive interface makes scrolling and searching much faster.

Please report back on which app you use and how well it works.

I tried connecting using Finder, but do not know what "user id" to use when connecting.  Do you know what user id one uses to connect to the BM5?

I guess I can copy the files to a windows box and use Explorer (as BeoPlayer automatically mounts the BM5 so I don't have to know the user id), but this is a pain because I cannot get my Windows box to talk directly to my Mac (has something to do with how the networking is configured on Windows - the Windows box is for work and I don't have full control over it).
