You can plug your HDD into one of the USB inputs and plug a keyboard/mouse into the second input of the BeoMaster 5. Enter the service menu and file transfer the data. You need to know what you are doing so I recommend you seek assistance from your local dealer who might be able to assist for a small fee!

My BM5 pops up as a network drive in Mac OSX (called BMSHARES). I just plug all devices in the router with cables and start transferring. That is pretty fast..

An interesting topic! I also have BS 5/BM 5 combo. I have 3TB FLAC files on USB HDD. Some of them I transfer into BM via Wi-Fi. My BM5 pops up as a network drive in MS W7 (called BM-Share$). Some songs, albums and covers cannot be seen and heard and I'm not sure why. Should I use cable? What is the easiest way to transfer FLAC files?
Thank you in advance!

😂

That's five megabytes per second, or a pretty good saturation for a 100 Mbit/s network, given that the data actually comes from somewhere and is being stored somewhere else, instead of just a dummy transfer for a benchmark...

I rip my own cd's with a free program named Exact audio copy.

For the covers I use Mp3tag V2.48.

BM/BS 5 have a problem with Hi-Res 24/96 FLAC-s! Some of them I can not transfer at all to BM 5. Then again some I can without a problem. What could be an issue. Is it bad support for FLAC from B&O. It's sucha pitty to downgraid Hi-Res material to mp3, WMA or WAV! Any chance they will hotfix the software or something?
Thanks A.

BM 5 is kind of a computer, right? How to prepare him to play Hi-Res FLAC's from internal HDD and external USB HDD drives. BM 5, a 5k€ computer can't do what 300€ notebook can? B&O is laying that we have full FLAC support. Why don't they honestly write down that we do not have full Hi-Res FLAC support for it.

My Hi-Res FLAC files are legaly bought on HD-tracs! 😡
