I did not do anything special. Just connected it and when I tried it, it caused the system to turn on.

Razlaw... Do you have speakers directly connected to your bs5?

Also, what type of router do you use?

I am using an Apple router. No speakers connected to the BM5. Speakers are connected to a BV 10 and BV 7. BM5/BS5 is connected to an Airport Express.

I finally got this to work the program crashed on me several times though

Are you using it to stream music from the iPad or are you just controlling the bm5 with the program?

I just use it to control, although it is not working very well for some reason. I do not stream as all the music on the iPad is also on the Beosound.

I did play around a little today with UPNP Songbook Lite. It has radio on it. When selecting one of the radio stations it displayed cover art for the radio station on both the iPad and the Beosound 5. I could not get any audio, but I think that is because I need to register for the radio service, which I think is free.

Have you tried media connect?

I find it to be pretty reliable ... To control the bs5.

Streaming seems to be the difficult part of these programs
