Right!
However, the easiest way would be to use one of these:
Please notice that Steve is only shipping to the UK for time being – but the Behringer can be bought elsewhere….just do a search for it.
And…..if you want to connect more than one device, you’d need some kind of switch too.
As for the 2nd question – I remember back in the days, that I had a stock external USB drive connected….so yes that should work!
I would however, not recommend it – it will be much easier to use a PC/Mac for this, because you will have to tag the files properly in order to have these searchable and showing coverpics etc on the BS5.MM
Looking at the background, I wonder how many ears you do have, Millemissen!
Two…..of course.
But it is with headphones just like with shoes.
You only have two feet, but you need several pairs for different purposes and occations.
Not talking about the overkill, that you some times see – not just with women – no, just for regular use ?
And some of these you keep and use for several years (at least if you buy good quality footwear).In the picture behind is a Grado (an entry level one), which I bought long ago – before B&O started getting into headphones again.
They are nice sounding and good to wear, but they leak sound, which can be annoying for those sitting nearby.When B&O then started with headphones again and made the H6 1st gen in 2013, I found what I had been looking for (…..so I thought).
I used the H6 a lot – still do, but not so much anymore.
However, as a take-with-you headphone it was too heavy – it is fine for at home.
I have never gotten into using the small in-ears, though I did try.
Instead I bought the H2….that is the one you see in the front in the picture above.
The H2 is light and sits comfortably – I often use it in bed when listening at night.Then came the era of the wireless on-ears.
When the H4’s – the 1st gen – came, I bought that (not in the picture).
The H4 is definitely the headphone that I use most, especially when I sit in the evening – my wife reading – and watch some YT videos on the iPad, listen to podcasts etc.
They are light and fits my head well.I know, I know…….there have been several B&O over-ear headphones since these were made.
But as I do not need any noice cancelling, gaming options etc, the H4’s are just fine for me.What you also do not see in the picture, is my Form 2 – the original one from 1986 – which I bought back then.
This now serves as the headphone on my desktop – not often used. It is light as a feather and is sounding resonably good.My original Earset A8 from 2000 – with the leather carrying case – now ‘belongs’ to my wife. They never did fit well in my ears.
They are a real gem, though!So now you know – even with just two ears you need more than one pair of shoes…..eh, pair of headphones ?

I am only trying to work things out in the older link systems for now, but there also seems to be many interesting possibilities of integrating the old stuff with newer systems
There certainly is.
This is my old BS8 – I did use to have an iPad there, but since there hardly is any app left that works on the old OS, I did ‘think new’.
I have always been a fan of Dolly Parton 😉 – now I use it solely as a speaker.
I bought a second hand Essence MK2 and connected that to the line in of the BS8.
This way ‘my new BS8’ has become part of my (beolink) multiroom setup.
Furthermore I have a Beogram 1900 – which is far older than the BS8 – connected to the line input of the Essence box. This way I can – which admittedly happens very rare – listen to vinyl anywhere in the setup…..even in the last ML-based room that I have left (due to the NL/ML Converter and the BM6500 there).My old iPhone functions as a remote controller and as display for what is playing.
