The screen is different and it has wifi. And you can buy it:

OK....I suppose ML Gateway supported then....I think I would use my Iphone with that product however. The BeoLink app seems great!

Anybody got a clue how to make BS5 discover a Mac with the new software then?

You need to run a UPnP server. an example is link,

I am very disappointed that they are still not supporting Apple Lossless.

If Sonos can do it, they must be able to do it.

Flac may support the gapless playing issue for the macworld, but I can't maintain that as a library that syncs with Ipod.

They either have to make gapless compressed AAC work or give me gapless Apple Lossless which I believe by definition is gapless if the original was.

Great! Thanks for sharing this info! I run something similar to a PS3 that i have connected to BV10....but Majestic seems easy!

Edit: I run MediaLink UpNp and BS5 discovered my Mac now....but no files visible yet....suppose it takes a while when you have 60GB of Music in Itunes....I'll wait and see otherwise I will runt the BM5 harddrive and continue copying my selected files through BeoConnect.....

That ought not to take too long. 60GB is not that much - certainly not if you use lossless. If it's 128kbps mp3/mp4s, I'd agree that it's quite a lot.

Most of it is AAC from Apple and MP3.....but I there is a lot of rubbish music there as well...I better keep my BM5 clean with nice covers...what was great about this new upgrade is that I now can access BM5 through my PS3....but I will probably stick to BS5 to view music and scroll.....I only wish B&O would allow more than 99 tracks in the favorites list....I have Itunes lists that are about 200 songs and would like to colour code with B&O....eg green button is soft music....now I have to create several lists with 99 songs in each....bummer!

The Beo5 have been discontinued, shops may still have some. Beo6 is the new Beo5. The price has gone up a bit. The screen is wider, with better resolution and a different touch technology. It also has build in Wi-Fi.

At some point there will be an update for BeoSound5 (not sure if it is the one that have just been pushed), making it possible to browse cowers on the Beo6.

does this mean your transfer all your music lossless to your iPod?  

at home I use lossless flac and wma and they are as the word say "lossless" so I do not need Apple lossless

on the way I use AACplus files of the same music. to me it seems a little bit over the top to use lossless music from a mp3 player when you are in a sound unfriendly environnement

actually it can contain more than 99 song. but you must change the settings with Beoplayer. Maybe then even the playlist has to made with the BP. I never make a playlist directly on the BS5

the BS5/BM5 can only access ONE music server at the time. It is the BM5 internal harddrive OR a one external UPnP server (see the faq on the B&o site)

Note: people associate AAC with Apple but it isn't "from" Apple. Apple did choose this type of compression. Apple lossless though is developed by Apple
