you're lucky you didn't buy a philips

my first philips actually exploded in a puff of back smoke and my last one , gawd knows why i bought another one , did likewise

they may invent some amazing stuff , but their quality control is terrible

What do you do with your stuff Flappo? You said you've had three PS3s, too, due to quality/production issues?

I've never had these issues, but I've had more sw related issues with my B&O equipment than anything else. So, all 'swings and roundabouts' as they say.

 

The Gap issue happens with MP3 and AAC.

If you record wav gapless it doesn't happen, that is true. Trouble is, you can't do WAV from an Apple Mac and many of us do use just that.

The James Taylor Live album I mentioned above was ripped in wma lossless by Beoplayer and transferred directly to the BM5 from my Mac mini.

The Mac mini works as a client to the BM5 - wireless via an airport station. I have also Beoconnect, itunes, Beo5 Config. Tool, Lintronic`s Configurator installed on the Mac. There is also a Macbook and a second Mac mini in my wife`s office that work in the same way. So all of us could use that.

Is there a difference ripping wma lossless in beoplayer or in WMP?

Good grief - try not to worry jldmelb. 10% must have flown abroad for a package self-depreciation by-pass. Oh well....

There may be a difference in the meta-tags (Name, Artist Name, Album...) but not in the quality as in both case the quality is identical to the original.

I think that Beoplayer uses WMP in the background anyway, so it is problably the same.

I'm sure he'll figure it out one day.........😕

I always understood that in transit for him meant those are always the words he is always seeing in wait for hos B&O to arrive. That's me knowing that he travels with his B&O alot >>> ?
