Airplay is on the new BeoLit12. Does anyone here think that feature will ever be added to the BeoSound 5 Encore in the next revision?

BeoSound 5 Encore - Airplay in the future?

I think so. Should be possible with an software update. Probably soon.
I don't think they can just make a software update for exsisting units. They have to pay a license fee to Apple for every unit they use airplay in. Who should pay for the allready sold Encores?

Why buying Encore for at lot of money? Connect AirPort Express to your Beolabs and use your iPhone/iPad/PC instead.
One can just buy an apple tv or airport express and run that on aux.
Doesn't Airplay need some additional hardware?
My B&O Icons:
I agree. I just don't get it. I have Mac full of lossless music, and the ability to download radio stations all connected through Apple tv. I mute the screen and hey presto.
I would not buy it now either. But I already have ha Beosound 5 and when I do I think it would be good if it was possible to use Airplay.
And also when you connect Airplay to the tv will still count hours...
I guess you could attach an airport express and the Behringer analog/USB converter to BeoMaster5 and run that through AAUX to get Airplay.
