Thanks Keith for your detailed answers (and it's a nice summary of my "question" as well ). I will give my dealer a call. Actually, I should have been more clear about the BL4000s. The TV is connect to a BeoLink Active which then (when I press "PC" on my Beo4) sends the audio to the BL4000s. The volume control for the BL4000s

So, I got an e-mail from the dealer telling me I can trade in a Beo4 for a Beo5. Never much paid attention to the Beo5 as I just have Beo audio and the Beo4 does a fine job for this. However, I've been having trouble with my non-Beo TV (Toshiba) and Comcast Motorola DVR... and maybe Beo5 is my solution - I had been looking at upgrading to a close

I picked up an AppleScript plugin to iTunes a few years ago that searches Wikipedia for the album, artist or composer of the currently playing song... so maybe it's not so groundbreaking... Stan

It is not possible with the mac and bm-link. Bm-link was built to support N.Music and N.Radio. If you want more, you need to use a PC and BeoPlayer (but then you lose the display on your BS3000, and also have to use Windows ). The only solution I found was to buy a BeoLink Active... and put the IR on the shelf (it doesn't work with the active) and

[quote user="Alex"] RE the volume adjustment, this causes problems if listening to an album with continuous tracks, as not all tracks will be the same volume originally. If the BeoSound 5 adjusted the volume to always be the same, the end result would be unwanted jumps in volume between the tracks (classical music would suffer the most).

[quote user="TripEnglish"] ... iTunes, for example, has the ability to moderate the volumes to a universal range across a collection. This has worked marvelously and I haven't found myself turning the volume up or down once to compensate. ... [/quote] I thought this was a feature of iTunes. How does the BM5 know what iTunes has determined

I have been told "No" by my local dealer as well as a dealer (trip) on this site. If I recall correctly, there will be a 40-in BV10 that is to be positioned between the bv8 and Bv7. Stan

My family uses their iPods with my BS3 via a Griffen iTrip (a small FM transmitter that plugs into an iPod). I got tired of fighting format and content problems with the SD card (the wife and kids can load music onto their ipods without my help - they needed my help to load SD cards - especially if they were starting with an ACC). It works great. The

I've experienced similar behavior... also with BM Link and Mac. I don't use N.Radio that much so I've never bothered with trying to solve it. Stan

I didn't do an exhaustive search of the site, but I could not find answers to these questions I have about the BS5: Does the BS5 compensate for differences in the perceived volume of recorded music? Newer CDs seem to be recorded much louder than older ones. Does one constantly have to turn the volume up and down to compensate (as I do today with
