Many people still have cabinets full of CD's and don't want to bother with putting everything on a computer or hard disk. It's always such a hassle and you have to keep on adding when you purchase new ones. Also, most of my old cd's still

[quote user="SecretSheep"]in favour of some new BeoSound 5 variant..[/quote] Sorry to a party pooper (or wake killer ...), but that is damn good news. I can see why it's sad to say goodbye to something as iconic as the 9000, but if it means a new and proper digital media solution will come forth, I really don't care. I want an updated

Been thinking about this a bit since yesterday. I know it's slightly off on a tangent, but ... I have noticed some people are being apologetic about B&O not having a proper digital audio solution.

[quote user="Habahaba"]So, even you said it yourself that the pad (on Apple) is broken, so therefore it should be fixed! [/quote] Hehe, good point.
