New BeoPlayer Beta

23 replies

I know it might be a little early to judge this new software, but i've just downloaded it and the only difference i can see is that there is now small album art thumnails where there used to be icons. Some of the album art is wrong , and it's far too small to be of any use i think.

 

It's still seems pretty cumbersome to me. It's still in Beta form, so lets hope for some really innovative changes.

From where did you download this 'beta' version of BeoPlayer?

 

The bang & olufsen website.

There is a link to it in the serenata presentation also.

good luck. I hope you find it more usefull than me.

 
I used to love BeoPlayer when i had less than 1000 songs on my computer, but now that i have over 5000 (which is still a small collection in comparison to others) i find beoplayer very tiring.

Jazz, Well I have looked on both sites and can't find a link to the software anywhere, I must be blind, can you provide a link to the page?

It is for the serenata - it gives an iTunes like ability to browse by artwork instead of names. Never use this on iTunes as I find text easier. Looks pretty though!

When installing BeoPort 4.64 I get three CRC errors. And when running the software I get no N.music N.radio etc... (on windows 2000) oh dear!

So I have now re-installed BeoPort 4.61 which works fine, BUT all my playlists have disapeared. Anyone remember how we get them back?

After several hours trying this beta version I was forced to uninstall it, the thumbnails feature is really nice, and everything look works fine, but the CPU consumption by the beonetmusic.exe wich remains working in memory even when beoplayer is completely shutdown, means that there is clearly a problem with this program in my setup.

My PC has a intel P4 CPU 1.800 MHz, and these are the average levels:
