Copy downloaded songs into Beomaster 5 without Beoconnect

8 replies

Is it possible to (and if Yes how can I put a downloaded song in Beomaster 5 without Beoconnect? Thank you.

You can connect to the share bm-share$ using the password setup in beomaster config

or you connect an external USB-Harddrive and a Mouse (eventually plus Keyboard) to the USB-Ports, enter Servicemode and copy everything with the windows explorer of the Beomaster 5 to its drive. 
But this is not an official way ;-)

I can't look up the correct way as I'm home again in August but this is how I did copy all my files after ripping. When you copied a large amount of files you should let the Beomaster 5 do its work alone for 1-2 days (yes, days!) until he scanned everything fine.

Btw: I'm nearly using my Beosound 5 since 5 years and for big music collections the navigation is... not so good. We STRONGLY need a real good software which allows perfect(!) control from an Android/iOS-Tablet/-Phone that allows playing all WMA-Losless files etc.


Navigation not so good..... It's terrible!!!!

b&o shame on you.

OK... Thank you all for the answers. I just let how it is...

Hello Hfat, it seems you know what you are talking about.I have a BM5 and can reach the login share, but dont know the password, and cant seem to find anywhere on the User Interface on BS5 to set it 😭
