You know what, i already hate hate hate this thing but now i've gone and broken it by deleting something i shouldn't have. It just beeps telling me my card is empty when it actually not. Yes i've scanned it pressing the two down buttons, and the music is fine on the BS4.

What have i done! I deleted the firmware and left only the latest one on there, but now i don't know how to undo my mistake. I can't wait to get rid of this spoilt little brat of an MP3 player. I can't believe how unpleasant this thing is to own.

Because it does what it fancies doing without consulting the user!

Oh, and it's ugly as sin!

I disagree! I love the design, most beautiful MP3 player out there! The sound is incredible as well, nothing else on the market comes anywhere near it. I agree about it having a mind of it's own though, not the most user friendly of MP3 players out there.

.....love mine as well.....

There's a contest on the B&O site where you can win a BS6. Maybe an idea?? 

Hi,

Calvin I think you're right about the BeoSound 2. I ordered it 6 months before it was released in 2002, and I was therefore the first person to buy one from my local dealer. And during the five years I have had it, there has been no problems with the BeoSound 2 itself, only the BeoPlayer has been a bit tricky some times though... I still LOVE the BeoSound 2!!

Yeah, no, i strongly stand by my opinion. For me - it stinks.

I LOVE the design & it is stunning, but no one in adelaide understands true style, and i'm bored of it having yucky finger prints. Not enough bass for me! No where near as much lower frequencies reproduction as BL4000, infact all Beolabs.
 

I do have my days where it is my best friend and i do love it. When it has no finger prints, ("nobody touch it!") and i'm laying in bed listening to beautiful classical music. I can't believe i have to wait until the middle of next year before i can get a Serenata.

Yes you heard me. It's all good, my relationship with the 4000's is stronger everyday.

Fingerprints no more, this article came out a while back. I also love my BS2, cant wait to buy the BS6 regardless of the samsung logo.

To this day I'll never understand why people don't just buy an iPod and be done with it.  You can buy something more expensive, you can buy something that looks nicer, you can buy something from a different manufacturer if you dislike Apple, but if you do you'll buy an inferior product.  That's all there is to it.

This is the exact same argument I make about grills.  You can buy a $10,000US grill and I'll still not be impressed because it's not a Weber.  You can buy Weber or you can buy crap.  I don't care how much your grill costs, if it's not a Weber then it's crap.

When i got my BS2, alot of my friends bougt ipods and no one could understand why i would buy the more expencive BS2. In retroperspective, I saved money. Everyone else had to get new ipods, not just becous new models where released all the time, but becous they all broke.

The only problem with it is that i sometimes have to jiggle it a bit in the charger to get it to understand that the BS2 is on it. But that problem only showed up a little while ago, after 4 - 5 years of hitting, dropping and sitting on the player.

I respectfully beg to differ.

I'll re phrase... 99% of the people i've come across so far.  

Hey i forgot about those cases, maybe if i get one of those i'll be able to keep using it and stay sane for the next 8 months!  

I regret selling mine.  I used it as my sole MP3 player for 3 years and then when in the US last year bought and iPod.  The iPod is great, but....... I miss my BS2!  Probably because of the design, simplicity and battery life.  I may buy another one at some point (spare cash allowing)
