How to update the list of radio stations on Beosound 5 Encore?

All the information I have seen so far about N.Radio database applies only to BS 5 , not Encore.

As Encore is Linux based and BS 5 is Win XP, none of that information is useful.

Thanks in advcance for any advice.

Cheers

Alan

I'm considering getting an Encore. How do you guys create playlists? I know tracks be added to playlists one-by-one on the navigation wheel, but that is cumbersome, especially when editing playlists. So, can the Encore read pre-existing playlists from music servers (in M3U format?). For me, the Encore would be the perfect music machine, but only if it can read playlists.

Beocare have solved the radio station issue for me.
Apparently B&O maintain a data base for the Beosound 5 Encore which is manually updated on request.

They ask for the country, name and URL of the staion on Tune In, and then they can add it to the data base...

Once this is done, a complete power off and reboot of the Encore, enables the new stations.

It took a while, but we are there now.

Dear John,

The Beosound 5 Encore doesn't show any logo's for the radio stations, only the name. (As far as I know it never did).

On the Beosound 5 + BM5 and the Beosound Moment the radio logo's are shown.

You can force the update of the last firmware manualy or automatic.

This is done in the settings menu. Mode-> Settings-> Maintenance -> Update software.

The latest firmware version on my Beosound 5 Encore is; 1.3.8 Build date 10-Sep-2012.

Hope this helps
