Hi,

thanks to you I am almost there, but not quite :(

I have been able now to ping my Beosound 5 using the IP address as listed on my Beosound5. I have also been able to have the Beoconnect working but this App will not show any files on my Beomaster. 

Beomaster5 now shows up in my network. When opening this folder it tells me that the folder is empty. Could there be a firewall or partition that I need to remove somehow.

Tomorrow I will go the route with a keyboard and mouse directly to the Beomaster using the two USB connections on the back of the Beomaster.

Thanks for the continued support

I misunderstood your initial question, sorry. Thought you want to clone the entire system.

If you go for the easy USB route use an USB hub with a few ports:

Than you can use USB keyboard, mouse and an external SSD / HDD / USB-Stick to copy the music from your Beomaster 5.

Thanks to all,

I was able to copy my complete library from the beomaster 5 to a SSD using a mouse/ Ssd drive connected to the beomaster5 through windows explorer.

the whole process was easy and took about 1 hour.

cheers Huub

Glad to hear it all worked out.  Good luck with wherever you take your music 🙂

I just want to add this in case you are not aware.  You can use the BS5/BM5 as a music server, and you can even configure it to transcode any lossless WMA files to MP3/FLAC (I forget which) since lossless WMA is no longer widely supported.  I use this listen to my music from my newer products (BS2, Eclipse).  I mention this in case you plan to buy a music server to host these recently copied files.  You already have one in the BM5.

As a Spotify user, I guess this will now be my main path for listening to Neil Young 😉
