I did not have to put an XML file in and both Twonky and Plugplayer found my Beosound. Do you have the Beosound set to Audiomaster and Music Server ON?

I am not sure how often anyone would want to do this, but it is nice that it can be done.....I was able to stream music from my iPad to the Beosound 5 and then use the iPhone to control it.

No, I did not change anything on the iPhone. Yes, I believe the iPad could also be detected. I will try to take another look at it. I do have to go out of town so if I do not get a chance to look at it in the next few hours it wont be until tomorrow nignt that I can look for it.

Obviously Airplay is not directly supported. But music can be streamed to the Beosound through wifi without the use of Airplay.

As Shinobi52 noted, it is possible to stream between the Beosound 5 and a phone or iPad. It says so right in the Beosound 5 if one looks at the notes about the latest software release. There is a picture of it in another thread.
