I know Coverflow is a big marketing tool but I find it of limited use. Consider browsing through your CD collection at home - you tend to know roughly where something is and then search the spines to find it. If you have a 30gb (or larger) ipod full of albums I find it quicker to browse alphabetically through the album titles (when they go to "quick

Craig: Dave Moulton: The speakers that David Lewis got were the first B&O prototypes that combined the acoustic lenses with Adaptive Bass Control. They were the Truly Ugly Monstrosities! But they sure did the job! Best regards, Is this the one that looks like a washing machine on wheels? just tried searching for a pictue but gave up. Seem to remeber

Welcome indeed - Beoworld is a lovely place, full of friendly folk. Please feel free to join in everything you find - it isn't only a place for techy questions As a "newbie" your opinions/suggestions can even be more invaluable than the diehards as you may have a completely different take on subjects being discussed.

Peter : No contest - I have an iPod because it is simply better in every way. The sound quality of the BS2 is very good but record the tracks at a good rate, and use the right headphones, and the iPod is just as good. iTunes is just so superior to Beoplayer that once used, you will not go back. I use MP3 as I can use the tracks on any PC or Mac. Ditto

The wheel is certainly easier to use than all the other (noname) mp3 players I've had in the past. In terms of "syncing" your ipod (as they insist on calling it, similar to pda's etc) you have the option to do it automatically (as you've exerienced you lose existing tracks) or manually when you can add or delete as you wish.

She'd be silly not to at least have a try of an iPod before deciding on another route, if even just for comparisons sake. They are very easy to use and are not expensive (8gb for ~£99, 80gb for ~£150). In format terms they can handle most formats very well, The iPod supports the following formats: AAC, MP3 (Constant and Variable Bit

RussR: The BV-8 is the entry level tv precisely because it lacks the DSS module, Video engine, and DVD player, oh and the NTSC, and ATSC (DVB-T) tuners which make the MKIII so distinct in the family. And that is the point made by others elsewhere on the site. B&O are selling a distinctly average performing LCD in a distinctly plastic looking housing

Makes the BL5 look small, petite and svelte. B&O stores should all have a pair of these to help persuade SWMBO that not only are the Lab5's the best a man can get for only £10K but look how small and s*xy they are compared to the competition! Sold to the attractive looking lady with the incredibly good taste

Beobird: The Tannoy TD 8, 10 or the big 12 is very good looking and sounding too . They have won the EISO award in the high-end section as well, and they're on the list of the worlds sexiest speakers Stevie Wonder's list maybe, certainly not mine!

I think everyone on this site will agree in prinicipal with your comments, the other threads were less to do with "whining" and more to do with concern for the future product direction of the company given recent product releases.
