Actually Moxxey, Phillippe did have one reminder which you blew right past. It is now possible to purchase non-DRM protected music from the iTunes store. These are referred to as iTunes +. Admittedly this is not the majority of songs available, but it is growing...and those songs/albums are encoded at a higher bit-rate than normal as well. Ought to

BeoSound 5 will be a 2 box solution incorporating BeoMaster 5, which is not BeoMedia 1

Hi Ian, replacing the glass door would currently cost you about $170USD. Fixing the problem can be done for the price of an automotive Rear-View Mirror repair kit down at the local auto parts shop, and a hex-head screw driver.
