Beginning to sound interesting...

For anyone who might have been thinking the same thing: I tried connecting my iPhone to my BeoMaster 5 via the iPhone to USB cable. Sound did not come through via the A.Aux.

That would be too easy!!!

The User Guide certainly looks as if they are improving things and tempting me into buying one!

The streaming wirelessly from an iOS device bit looks as if it could just be AirPlay via an AirPort Express which then in turn plugs into the USB to Phono device.

The other option looks to be Bluetooth, has anyone got a bluetooth dongle that they could try with the system?

If not does anyone know which USB to phono device will work?? Would be great to get one before I go away on Thursday afternoon!

After the latest SW update to Beosound 5,  I can not Scroll through albums or artists with BEO 4 / 5 / 6.

After downloading the s/w, I picked up my LG Win7 phone and pressed the "Play To" icon on the front screen of the phone. It scanned and found the BeoMaster 5 after 1-2 sec, and gave me the option to select music, pictures or video. Selected pictures stored on my phone just for fun and they showed up on screen, then I selected an album stored on my phone and it was instantly played through my BL5's - with the album art popping up on the BeoSound 5 screen as well as on the phone.

Suddenly my phone became what the Beo5 should have been from day one: a true interactive product.

My BeoMaster 5 is hardwired into an Apple Time Capsule that also takes care of my wifi.

Simplest upgrade ever on the BS/BM5. And what a radical step in functionality.

I guess I will need an app for my other phone, the iPhone?

I have a HTC WP7 and no such luck. Seems the "Play To" app is only for LG. Unless someone knows of a workaround? Still no app update for iOS, so eagerly awaiting this function for my iPhone as well...

Oh, so the "Play To" is an LG-only app? I was rather surprised when I pressed the button, selected the album and it all worked. Very elegant. And so much more easy to navigate to an album on the phone via the GUI than using the Beo5.

I googled it and it seems like an LG-only app. And HTC doesnt have a similar one. Eager to get this working on my system, especially since the Beo6 wifi update still isnt here.
