Hello Keith !

My Beoport 4.65v update install came about by first reading about it in BEOWORLD. I would not have been aware of the 4.65v upgrade without being advised by one of our members in that topic thread.

The actual installation was quick, smooth, and flawless, over the previous version. No problems of issues whatsoever.

On the CD cover artwork, many album covers did not in fact load, or update even 24 hours later. Rather than wait, I chose to copy and paste those myself, using XP Windows Media Centre. Given the number of albums I have, many by the same artist, some of the copy and paste covers were of my own choosing.

James Last Orchestra, for example. We have most, if not all of his music. Here I used actual concert photos we have taken in DE, GB, + CH, rather than the original album cover. Many of the photos were reduced to  800 x 600 megapixels, which appears more detailed when the N.Music Info is clicked on. The result on a 42 Plasma screen is distinctive and enjoyable.

Some task you have taken upon yourself there. I'm impressed. Looking forward to your findings.

I am trying a clean install of BeoPort 4.65 on a Windows Vista Ultimate. It fails due to USB issues.

Have a look at my post here

Mikael,

Thank you for your posting. I will provide a complete review when all the testing has been completed which will be weeks rather than days.

Good evening Andy,

A few points

If you are running Windows XP with Service Pack 2 with Beoport software version 4.61 currently installed and you subsequently install version 4.65 without first un-installing 4.61 (normal case) then depending on your system configuration you will either see:-

1. No change and the "Guide" will still show you running version 4.61
2. The guide shows you are running version 4.61, but some album covers are downloaded after inital installation, but subsequently no further covers are downloaded.
3. Album covers are download and shown until you do a further scan at which point no further downloads appear to occur.

With your configuration you must completely un-install Beoport, then reboot your PC and install Beoport 4.65

Even with version 4.65 installed and working correctly you cannot look at photo's and listen to N.Music at tehe same time.

With version 4.65 correctly install you will still only see some album covers both on the left list and when you press "info" when N.Music is playing.

Well, I have just disconnected my PC2 USB and  un installed 4.61 completely then shut down and restarted my PC.
I then downloaded 4.65 from the official site and clicked 'Run'. As soon as it started to install, the dialog box said it was downloading 4.61
When it finnished and I re-registered (for the umpteenth time) it was straight back to square one 😭
It even remembered which track I was up to on NMUSIC.
