How do you see yourself listening to music in the future?

A poll seemed to be needed! Apologies to the first voters - I made this sticky and it wiped the poll!

[Poll]

You may need to review your choices - the questions have changed places!!! 😳

I cannot seem to find how to change my previous vote!! How can i change this?

Hi Peter - Good poll.

However, could I suggest an obvious omission in future options,   I have a line output from a computer that gets onto my Beolink through an aux, and so can listen  to Itunes / spotify / iplayer etc etc in the bath/garden/kitchen etc .

BUT - I don't feel the need for a Beoport  - long playlists on shuffle, or a specific radio programme are fine to just "send" to the B&O kit, and I'm sure many others will do just that - ie, "listen" to a computer output , but with no beo-control.

Also, I don't see new digital media as exclusively replacing by Bsnd9000 for CD's, or my bepgram for LP's ( having about 4500 "hard copies across cd and LP formats) but MOST of my "casual" background listening is via spotify, or the bbc website.

As I understand it, using a CD in a computer via Bsnd 5 is cumbersome and with little feedback ...you really have to load it into a media player ...shame.

Currently working through old editions of "In Our Time" on iplayer when in the bath :-)

So maybe you need a category along the lines of

"In future I will stream music online, and use my Beolink/Beolabs/Beovision to enjoy optimum sound quality, whilst retaining my "hard" copies on CD/LP"

AND before anyone mentions it, I know "Optimum Sound Quality" and streamed music aren't always possible - but via Beolabs, its still better than not through beolabs, and hearing a spotify playlist in the garden is a time of deep joy, for some reason....

That said, last week I got four shiny new LP's from the excellent properganda website - stunning artwork, stunning sound!!!

 

Oh, great. Now I apparently voted "use my computer and a beoport".

 

Bad form, changing the poll questions like that.

 

On the Bahama's :-) :-)

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Great to have the poll back! πŸ€’ Anyway, airport for now, might get A Beosound 5 / Encore or another digital B&O product in the future.

How do you see yourself listening to music in the future?

in front of a mirror😜

 

Hey Beocool. What is your current set up. 

I have been thinking about this a lot recently. Where is my set up going to be in the future and how will I be playing music in 5 years. The Beosound Encore seems like the best option but the price and lack of support worries me at this time. Waiting game for me!

I thought the real answer was you can't, because the future hasn't happened yet 😎
