Beoport (PC-2) without a computer/system

16 replies

I do not have this adapter myself, so I cannot help.

For the PC2, it is a great product, if you have a PC with Windows. 

I have explained to you earlier what it was, but if this is not enough, it is documented on the Beo website. The software is available for free, so you can install it and test it.

I do greatly appreciate your responses.

I have tried to get as much information as possible about this - and as usual with most B&O stuff it is usual black box stuff with documentation that is close to worthless.  Maybe that is why it is sitting unused in my closet.

Just trying to figure out if it can be used outside of the Windows (Mac?) software systems and if so how...... in otherwords, does it have a role in my digital music system that I am trying to not make computer based.

The PC2 DOES NOT work without a computer. 

There is a Mac version of the software, but it is limited, and does not work fully with the latest version of iTunes. 

B&O will bring soon a device that allow integration of iPod in a ML system.

What is your setup, what digital device would you like to integrate?

Phil, do you have a list of those defects(/lack of perfections)?

Michael, one example of why the Beoport uses a PC (Windows or MacOSX) is to gain access to the internet for Net-Radio ... on Windows it uses the BeoPlayer to do this, with MaxOSX it uses iTunes.  Also you use your PC to upgrade the firmware of the Beoport.

Color keys and number keys do not work with the latest iTunes versions...

Thanks Phil ... features I had not used so I had not noticed were missing
