Sounds an awful lot like the advice given by the Apple apologists: "If you have problems [which is always downplayed as "minor"] shut up and eat it, or at least return it or have it swapped, but don't *** about because we only want to hear positives" It's a TV. If you need to shop around, having your tv swapped numerous times

[quote user="Carolpa"] Fine! everybody has his right to his own opinion. Yours isn't mine greetings [/quote] Not mine either. This is the reason I am so giddy about the Encore, I so want it to come above my TTB, because I have liked the BS5 since it came out, but never bought one because it just wasn't "good enough". It was

There's a crucial difference between the lack of support for Spotify and lack of support for Apple Lossless. Spotify isn't available around here. In fact, it's not available in most of the world. Podcast support (including subscriptions) and Apple Lossless seems to be more general things (even if I don't use Apple Lossless anymore).

[quote user="BeoFab"] It is my overoptimism and unconditional admiration for B&O or they are really moving lighting fast (for B&O standards) adopting new technologies.

[quote user="Stan"]Oh yeah, that's really going to happen. Apple loosen its grip? I wouldn't hold my breath...[/quote] LOL, me neither. The continual increase in control from Apple's side is one of the most important reasons I jumped ship after more than twenty years on the platform. Other reasons include all the workarounds becoming

[quote user="TripEnglish"]Maybe B&O should buy Apple and start running them right! (-;[/quote] Ha ha! I agree!

[quote user="Puncher"]Why?[/quote] My thoughts exactly. Here's a link to just some of the devices that support FLAC: http://flac.sourceforge.net/links.html There are many other, of course, but it's a matter of supporting it.
