I do not know of any way to use eLyric to power off the Beosound 5. I use the Beo 4/5 to turn off. I have Beomaster 5 appearing in my eLyric as an option for both server and renderer.

I am not very familiar with MOTS as I do not use it. I just tried it on my 5 however. I pressed GO and seemed to work. It played a series of songs that all seemed similar. Also, the MOTS symbol appears. Have you tried adding MOTS to the list function on the Beo and activating it with that? Also, I think there is a setting in the Beosound 5 to disable

[quote user="moxxey"] [quote user="Razlaw"] Bottom line is, if you want Apple, buy Apple. If you want B and O, buy B and O.

I like eLyric. Can add multiple items to a playlist. Has option to "shuffle" and "play all" in some screens. As for cover art, some of my tracks have cover art that looks exactly like when I play N.Music. Some are perhaps of a slightly lower quality, and some are missing.

I am a great fan of Apple, and own an iPhone, iTouch, iPad, Apple TV, iMac, Macbook Pro and plan to purchase a new Macbook Air. I just do not understand this all consuming frenzy that any B and O product that has not been Appleized is inferior junk. It's somewhat like saying a Bentley or an Aston Martin is outdated and a piece of junk because it

There is a thread elsewhere with additional info on various apps from those that have tried them.

So you are guaranteeing me that Apple will stagnate, and stick with something that has been around for years and never come out with something new? All I am saying is I am unable to predict the future, perhaps you are. But, I do not think any of us truly know what technology will be around in the future that may make Airplay obsolete. And that new technology

I u derstand that. But who knows what Apple will come up with in the future. There is no guarantee that there will not be hardware changes.

And if AirPlay were built in, what happens when the inevitable Apple changes/updates/improvements occur and the built in AirPlay is obsolete?

Why would it be better?
