Sorry – I forgot to answer all questions.

Yes – NetRadio works perfectly. I’m currently listening to Denmarks Radio P4 (Trekanten) as I’m trying to learn Danish so that I can chat to my grand kids- as our son now lives in Jutland,DK!  Thanks again for the advice. I’m sure we’ll get this sorted out.

Hi Gregg,  Yes the IP of the BM5 is correct – and I have no issue finding it and connecting to it on my home network. Mine is of the generic type <192.168.0.nnn>

I’m using OSX 12.5.1 Monterey

I have a suspicion that something isn’t right in this file system. As you can see – there is a recycle bin folder present. There is a single file in there at the moment, but it is NOT anything I have deleted! I have “deleted” many folders of music that I don’t wish to listen to, but although they are “gone” from the structure, where have they gone?

Two other CD’s have ripped and I can see and listen to – so the device IS working – but it’s not robust yet.

If you like – I can also take a phot of the screen of the BM5 to show where I think Beethoven should be in the B’s (in Artist), but nothing is there?

Thank you very much Gregg! I found that to connect to the BM5 I had to use SMB:// < IP > on my system – but I can “see ” the filesystem as you  mentioned.  I have also installed dbpoweramp and this also works brilliantly – thank you for the detailed instructions! Now comes the tricky part. I have trialled a couple of CD’s ( each with a single artist (composer)) as I mostly listen to classical music. But the ripping program will translate the orchestra for the composer name in the resulting file. So this means I get Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra instead of Beethoven! (the Flac files and artwork are all properly copied and in the correct location on the source location (Music). I renamed the file folder as “Beethoven” because that’s where I want to store it ( and find it on the BM5). This copied OK, but I cannot find it anywhere on the BM5 display, despite it being there in the Finder window!! This thing is doing my head in!

I hope you can help or advise me what I am doing wrong – and try to understand how the BM5 file system (server) works?

Thanks very much Gregg! I will look forward to seeing the document and getting the machine working properly for me. The system is amazing as it is, but the choice of music is not mine. I’m more into classical music.   Meantime , I will search online for that software and start playing with that.  Mike
