Can't see what use it would be?  You're not going to get any data out of an 'old' device with Masterlink, so why bother with the hassle of converting it to Ethernet (which, incidentally, would not be technically very simple!  You'd either need a PC or some more dedicated embedded system - e.g. MLGW).

Do we have a picture of the Beolab 6002 and 8002 - I was not aware if these two new products. Any more specific details on new design and enhancements on this?

Thanks

What's with all the references to managing music with itunes?  Beoconnect does exactly that and has been available for some time.

I just converted my itunes library to Mp3 wo it plays on all my devices, and with beconnect nstalled I don't do anything but use itunes and the updates to music, playlist etc appear on BeoSound 5.

Huh? BeoConnect only serves as a means to transfer files to the BeoMaster 5. It definitely does not keep files synchronized between the computer and the BeoMaster 5. In order to edit music files AFTER a file has been transferred, it is necessary to delete the old file from BeoSound 5, edit the file on the Mac, and re-transfer the file via BeoConnect. A rather tedious process. Such synchronized integration with iTunes is what we've been needing. The BeoPlayer software synchronizes files but is only available for Windows.

Aren't all the Ethernet sockets for the CAT7 ML replacement?

Of course it can run from a NAS server with iTunes or Windows Mediaplayer client

Hi BeoWorlders.

I ask for your response.

Does the new BeoSound 5 Encore play FLAC files directly from hard disc via USB port, does it have S/PDIF output (for BL 5), does it have SD slot?

Regards.

@Alen: we don't know.. nothing is released yet. BUT.. It will have a microwave and a fridge... and it will run on petrol

I for sure hope for the same! Hopefully the BS5 Encore enables me to use the BM5 from another room as well.

Personally I would love to have a BS5 including a thin cd-player integrated  and be capable to connect to my Mac Mini server (which shares my music and movie libraries... ). I assume however that this will not be delivered

I would love the BS5 to have a CD player integrated that allows you to rip to a BM acting as an itunes server so you would use this as your master and not the computer. 

In the future, from B&O products. ?
