in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 23, 2014 19:31a good article here regarding marketing oversell on refresh rate - all is not what it seems when you look at those numbers. http://www.rtings.com/info/what-is-the-refresh-rate

in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 2, 2014 12:10Is the Encore a good used buy or will it be shortly be eclipsed by the Essence?
Five years with Beosound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 25, 2014 20:42I agree about MOTS. I have had to remove certain songs from the BM5 as MOTS kept playing them. It should have been designed to limit the number of plays of a song in the various MOTS queues.Sometimes I like MOTS because …

The love has gone. B&O TVs no longer value for money second hand...
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 16, 2014 12:18B&O are caught in a technology gap where flat screen quality is improving rapidly. This cannot continue forever as there is a limit to how good the resolution of these sets can become, whether that be the resoving power …
Beo sound essence - I'm excited!
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 9, 2014 13:44The BOSE controller is essentially a simplified Beo5/6. Nothing particularly new or original there.
Beo6 has left the portfolio
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 6, 2014 23:21The problem with depending on iPhones or iPads is that such products have a more limited lifespan than the likes of the beo4. I am not convinced that depending on someone else's technology is a good idea. It May be exped…

in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 5, 2014 15:06The question for me is whether it will speak to NAS drive?
BS5 or Encore
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 29, 2014 14:40Has anyone used an Encore as a satellite unit to an existing BS5/BM5 i.e. using the BM5 as the source. Theoretically my options are to masterlink to the exiting BS5 in another room but that may involve a lot of redecorat…
Spotify support on Beo 5/6
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jan 23, 2014 10:36OK, I think that is a fair reply. Hopefully B&O will be forthcoming with a better controller for their flagship audio product - no matter how it is done.
Spotify support on Beo 5/6
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jan 22, 2014 21:42Please elaborate. It might not help but I am great believer in understanding a problem before accepting whether there is a solution or not. Any insight on whether there will another controller to replace the Beo6? My vie…
Spotify support on Beo 5/6
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jan 20, 2014 19:18I received a reply from BeoCare, no great surprise as to the content. Very polite and helpful but depressingly familiar... Dear Mr xxx Thank you for contacting Bang & Olufsen Customer Service. Please excuse the very late…
Spotify support on Beo 5/6
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jan 18, 2014 16:39The Beo6 has to receive the Album cover & title from the BM5. The B&O application on the BM5 has to extract and render that info from the HD for locally stored files & similarly render the Album artwork & title from Spot…

in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jan 16, 2014 20:34So is the problem actually a Spotify licensing issue or lack of software development by B&O?
BS5 & BC2 - no AMEM
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 15, 2014 20:26I got this to work finally, I set BS5/BM5 to Audiomaster on, option 0 and the BC2 to option 5. It now works flawlessly. I just need to master link the BV7 to complete the setup. I
Spotify support on Beo 5/6
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jan 15, 2014 20:18Surely the hand held sonos controller is not transmitting anything, it merely selects the music that the sonos box will stream, is this not analogous to the Beo6 controller?
Spotify support on Beo 5/6
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jan 15, 2014 13:14What extra hardware is required? Surely the BM5 is doing this already to deliver the album covers to the BS5 & Beo6 in n.music mode, and the cover to the BS5 in Spotify mode. Yes, I can understand there may be something …
Spotify support on Beo 5/6
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jan 14, 2014 17:37If that is the case then they are undervaluing their own products. If they can already do this with the BS5/BM5 content, I cannot see it being a huge jump to add spotify support, in fact it is this kind of development th…
