Technicaly the FLAC or MP3 files are changed to CDA files when the cd is burned so the beosound could play it in theory or even in the CDA format it couldn’t. Idk i checked some of my in store buyed cd and the only thing that change is that the cd is in a reading only format (cdfs),

So the tittle of these posts is not acurate.

You should  burn the CD in de CDDA format.

Yes it plays normal CD’s like those you would buy in any store but i’m not sure i really understood you’re second question. But the lens move on a straight line path. The CD’s i uses for doing my compilation aren’t harm or sum and they are played well on other devices like my computer or a Sony s-master digital amplifier.

The question about the CD path was just to check if it’s one of the newer CD mechanisms, which it is! There is a good chance that these were never able to play mp3s on CD-R or CD-RW. I will have a search and see if I can find out, or perhaps another Ouverture owner on Beoworld can test and comment.

Correct on the Ouverture only CD format is supported.
Maybe a BS3200 could, because it has encoder/decoder for mp3 files. But I doubt it.

Just tried to contact them on the phone nummer on their site!  I got a tape saying: “we will be back the 21st of Oktober”.

So it looks like scam to me if you are seemingly out of business but still sell items. But maybe MM and/or Madskp get a response phoning from DK?

EDIT

it looks like…but that said, for sure it is no scam. 
I’ve spoken to Ulrik. In the end it was Paypal which fooled both of us. He did get info the order was canceled, I did get a mail which said I paid.

And ….. he will change his voicemail message!

You do not need to know anything about NetworkLink to do that..… ……unless you want a full integration (using the NL/ML Converter). You can use the Essence Mk2 or the Core (skip the Moment!) as a source connected directly to the Audio Master using a PL/RJ45 to Din-5 pin/Aux adapter (ask Steve/SoundsHeavenly for that). If you mainly want to use Spotify (Connect) just play to it from your mobile device. If you want to use the B&O Netradio as well, you will have to do that via the Bang & Olufsen app. You can also use the WIFI Streamer from Hall Audio! (Order the version with the rigt cable). In that case there is a small remote with access to netradio stations. There are also other small dongle solutions with Spotify Connect support! It all comes down to your needs respectively how deep you’d want to integrate e.g. a Beosound Core with the rest of you system. MM

But be aware that Hall Audio sell you items not in stock and don’t react on any mail send.

I ordered some item; no delivery, no reaction what so ever.

Hallo iedereen, ik ben sinds kort de trotse bezitter van een BS5 Encore. Heb mijn complete muziekcollectie moeten/kunnen aanpassen zodat alles werk en ik ook geen Unknown Artiesten meer zie/heb. Alleen heb ik nadat ik de BS5 Encore heb overgenomen de unit terug gezet op fabrieksinstellingen dus ook met de software er op van af de releasedatum. Software versie1.2.16. Kan iemand mij vertellen welke de laatste software update is en waar ik die vandaan zou kunnen halen? Een email naar B&O heeft geen enkele reactie opgeleverd. Alvast bedankt, Peter

Laatste sw versie: 1.3.8

Deze moet je toch meest waarschijnlijk bij B&o zien te krijgen

I have those cables no issue there. Doing more research I see you have to connect the speakers to the NL/ML Converter and not the Beomaster. Am I right in assuming that using a Beo4 or other I/R controller on the 7000 would not swich on active speakers or can that also be used?

Hard to answer. It depends completely on your system.

1. BM7000 with PL connected speakers. IR works asexpected in ML. If sound is distributed theough a NL/ML connecter (BLC) then the music on the NL side will be delayed.
2. BM7000 – Datalink and Powerlink connected to a T1611 -which is ML connected to a BLC (no IR). The Beo4 can start the BM7000 sources (directly) but not the sound on NL-side.
3. BM7000 – Datalink and Powerlink connected to a T1611 -which is ML connected to a BLC (with IR eye connected). The Beo4 should start the BM7000 sources and play the sound on the BLC depending BLC on settings.

With the introduction of NL, I rebuild everything on NL and use ML audiomasters as seperate sources in the NL. So one ML audiomaster is connected to one BLC

Yes that is what I thought. But I still maintain cabling will be an issue? Steve at SH doesn’t have anything suitable on his website. Perhaps I’ll drop him a line.

This are straithforward Powerlink and Datalink cables!
I now see your remark about the “speaker 2, 4 pin Datalink outlet”. Don’t go that way….. use a Powerlink and a Datalink cable. For sure Steve will sell these.

So essentially, you are using a USC stick as a playlist? Smart – so you could have several USBs each with a playlist. Curious – you mention that the Encore accepts M3U format – but then that there were problems accepting a music server with such files? Wouldn’t that suggest that Encore does not accept M3U?

Actually I use only one. I place the playlist files in one directory.
The tags of the music files are changed:
The original tracktittle  is changed to “Tittle – Artist
The artistname in the tag is changed to “name of playlist”
The albumartistname is deleted

To start the selection, goto Artist in the Encore, search the “playlistname” in this specific case the “artist” = the “playlistname” and start to play.

this is the result:

 

 

As stated before the Encore accept M3U. My problem was the Encore stopped scanning my DLNA server after processing the M3U. Thus I found this a good alternative.

I’m considering getting an Encore. I know tracks be added to playlists one-by-one on the navigation wheel, but that is cumbersome, especially when editing playlists. So, can the Encore read pre-existing playlists from music servers (in M3U format?). For me, the Encore would be the perfect music machine, but only if it can read playlists.

The Beosound 5 Encore accepts the M3U format.
But I had some issues with the acceptence of my DLNA server on the BS5e when it contained M3U files, so for playlists I use a USB stick with my favourite music files.
Thus the source A.Mem is for playlists and the source N.Music for all other.

That looks fantastic! ‘Just what I am trying to achieve. I need to get a Beolink NL/ML Converter. ‘Working on it already. The Beomaster 7000 needs to be controlled through the “speaker 2” 4 pin DIN Datalink outlets by the converter by the look of it? How are you connecting to the NL/ML converter? I have a Masterlink/Datalink converter which I think may be required but connecting to that, 2X 4 pin DIN to 1 8-pin DIN looks like an impossible cable?

The Beomaster 7000 is Datalink & Powerlink connected (2 cables) to a T1611, which is ML connected to the BLC.

 

@Steph: I use mainly a Beoplay charger but also the direct USB C.

Are you playing the BS9000/ 7000CD through a core? I am interested to see how you have connected up? And how are you selecting source? I have the new Halo update. I don’t see any numbers anywhere?

The Beosystem 7000 is connecter to a BLC the BS9000 to another BLC.

Selecting a number changes which CD is playing on the BS9000. To select tracks you have to use previous and next.

Selecting a number (or combination of numbers), the appropiate CD track is played on the Beogram CD 7000.

some other features:

[Carolpa]

simple answer: Yes

I start the BS9000 als source of the Shape. Then one can select which cd to play by selecting a number (new in this sw version)
I will post pictures later today.

I didn’t try to select a tracknumber on the BS9000 after a certain CD is playing, but on my BS7000 CD I can now select a track.

How to update the list of radio stations on Beosound 5 Encore? All the information I have seen so far about N.Radio database applies only to BS 5 , not Encore. As Encore is Linux based and BS 5 is Win XP, none of that information is useful. Thanks in advcance for any advice. Cheers Alan

I do not use Net Radio on my Encore, so never sought the functionallity to update the stations, but after a mains off/on cycle I always see the Encore do a Radio search….

@BeoMedia, I borrowed my wife’s iphone and verified that one CANNOT share Airplay from an ASE (BS1) or Mozart (Balance) device to a ML device (BS5) via ML/NL converter. Some sources, you can switch. If I’m listening to Deezer or B&O Radio, and start my turntable, then the audio sent to the ML device changes to the turntable. However, with Airplay, the ML device switches off as soon as I start playing Airplay on the linked ASE/Mozart device. Stan

did you try by connecting an IR-eye to the BLC and press the join button on the eye?

I’m pretty sure it’s only the TVs that have ever been able to connect to other speakers wirelessly – no Beosound ‘system’ ever has. The Transmitter 1 is a standalone Wisa transmitter box that you can connect a stereo or 5.1 audio system (B&O or otherwise) to and then connect to 2/2.1/5.1 WISA speakers wirelessly. Most recently the Beosound Theater can connect to other WISA speakers wirelessly. I think those are the only B&O optiobs

Beosound Moment can!

[Carolpa]

This means, that you can no longer have this rather quick access to turn off the screen (as described above in my original post)….which is a pity.

Am I really the only one, who wants to turn off the LG screen, when I listen to a music album (mostly in Atmos) from the Apple Music app on my AppleTV – or when I use my Blu Ray player as a CD player???

How can removing features be progress 😡

MM

No, you’re not the only one
But I find it even after the update simple.

On the BR1 I have to choose  “list” and then “option”. The LG screen displays the LG setting. The “default” (=last used) then is “Screen Off”.

Not completely related ro no screen from an HDMI source but I’m wondering if apple music would be better quality if not streamed through airplay but directly from a Mac mini to the BS Theatre. My intention is as follows: Mac Mini M4 Pro (with HDMI 2.1) and link the HDMI into one of the Theatre ports. The playback would be then sent digitally to the Theatre I assume? The Question is, weather this signal is better quality when the Theatre streams to BL28 and BL8 without the Airplay conversion to AAC 256kbps before sending it to the receiving speakers. So in the end I hope the Mac mini can output a signal that is one on one received by the BS Theatre over HDMI and sent ‘clean’ in 24/48 or 24/96 (B&O removed the bitrate fro the website specs) Thanks for any advice or sharing your own experiences

Why not install the Apple Music app directly on your TV ?

I must have missed this concern because I didn’t have a BLC when it was raised. It’s not ideal but can’t you just go into the BLC’s ‘Tools’ menu occasionally and clear the system log? (Having said that, the only entries in my BLC system log are from today and I don’t remember clearing it after my experiments last week)

I just checked the NL/ML Converter’s ‘System Log’ today and all the 9 Oct messages have disappeared. Perhaps one of the recent SW updates* makes the Converter clear the log data daily to avoid filling the memory? * EDIT: Actually I don’t think there have been any SW updates since 2015, so now not so sure about this!

I checked my 5 BLC: all show todays logs only.
Actually I do think they have pushed (minor) changes/update(s) to BLC’s before (without notice, without date change of latest update).

 

The changes to the B&o app seams to me a (possible) logic vision:

• the BLC becomes/is the ML connector and should be used with the previous types of products (Essense mkII, Beoplay 6, BS35, M3, etc…) and should be setup as the described way around.
• the BeoConnect Encore becomes the USB intermediate to connect older products/sources the the Mozart platform where these sources are an integral source of that Mozart product.

I use BLC’s a lot and the best and easiest way to controll and use is, to have only one ML product connected to a BLC which is integrated as Primary Beolink product to a NL device.
