It’s funny because you used my line of not explaining it clearly to very clearly explain it and show that my question was clearly understood.
what then are the USB ports on beomaster 5 used for?.
If you use PC , I suggest an old, but efficient freeware app called MP3 Book Helper. It can de download for free. A little bit awkward to use, but once learned it can have high grade of automation, and also adds pictures to the covers.
It has acces to some online databank of albuns, and recognizes your files.

Since it is a standard PC mothorboard, they are used for "being there because it is a standard motherboard". They are also used for the USB-AUX Behringer thing, that allows you to add AUX input to the Beomaster.
The Beomaster has a network share, that can be used for copying music to the internal hdd. Just use that.

Hi Jarrod
once you have your music,, with all extra information just copy the files on the BM5: Find it in your network, open the memory, the name is BM-USER, password as set in service settings on the BS5, some are set to 11111. Then drag and drop the files into the BM-shares folder. I do it in portions of 20GB, just if anything goes wrong. It willl take hours for 150GB of music.

Yeah, it’s the networking that has me a bit nicked in the head.
Can i just plug the beomaster 5 into my computer via ethernet... except my laptop doesn't have an ethernet connection, only usb...
GAH - i'm such a noob at this stuff.. 😭
No, it won’t work that way.
The center piece of all networkbased activety (computer, NAS or BM5....) is your network router.
Everything must be connected there.....must be on rhe same network.
In case of the BM5 you should use a wired fonnection to the router.
