    Thanks for the information.  I've been checking everyday for the past week.  I hope they provide information on what is in the update.

    One thing will be, that you can see on the Linkroom TV the CDs directory and not only the cover.

    I am also looking forward to the update. Unfortunately, my dealer told me that it is only a small update.

    Your dealer is misinformed. This is the most significant update to date and addresses just about every shortcoming that I've seen discussed on these hallowed forums.

    Re: Tomorrow comes the BeoSound 5 software update !

    I'm very curious about the update... Although my Ouverture is 11y old and doing just perfect.. I'm really looking forward to an all digital solution capable of playing .acc & .m4a...

    The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march.

    I got the update on my Beosound 5 Tuesday night at about 10:20 PM central daylight time or 0520 Copenhagen time.  The update went smoothly.  MOTS can now be disabled for an album or completely turned off.  I tried to load an album ripped in Apple lossless using the Mac version of Beoconnect and it does not work.  I couldn't find an update to Beoconnect  That's all I have checked so far.  Maybe others can find more changes.

    Re: Tomorrow comes the BeoSound 5 software update !

    Same here, no information about Apple loosless (checked also the B&O homepage and Beomaster 5 specs) :-(

    Re: Tomorrow comes the BeoSound 5 software update !

    There is now an "exclude" option to remove an album, artist, song, from MOTS when "clean up" is turned on.

    There is now an icon on the screen that indicates when MOTS is playing.

    The release notes say that the screen can be used as an access point to controls blinds, lights, etc, with ML Gateway. Nice!

    It says that we can now connect multiple BS5s in a MasterLink network. (I'll take 7, please! Oh, my dealer would be so pleased.) It would be nice if we could connect multiple BeoSound 5 screens to control one BeoMaster 5, but I've been told by a dealer that each BeoSound 5 will still require it's own BeoMaster 5. Angry

    Re: Tomorrow comes the BeoSound 5 software update !

    Still does not properly sort a 2 CD album even with MOTS turned off.

    Who was the one who told us here, that he is ripping everything as Apple Loosless to be prepared for this update ? Huh?

    Controlling he MLGW from the BS5? Any info on that?

    Apple lossless absolutely does not work!  I tried to put Apple lossless files on the Beomaster 5 using Beoconnect version 1.23 and I manually copied an Apple lossless file to the Mac directory on BM5.  Maybe there is another update coming!

    Well,

    well it's nice to know he sits in the same boat.

    Maybe they took it out last minute, still they fixed at least 1 issue I just hope they attack the rest as well. I was already thinking how to re-allocate my cash for planned expenses this year to make room for BS5.

    Re: Tomorrow comes the BeoSound 5 software update !

    Frankly i could live without apple lossless. I want gapless though, that drove me nuts with the early ipods. And I want it with files that my mac can handle, installing windows is not a solution.

    I can try gapless.  Are you talking about music from a concert ripped from a CD?

    Re: Tomorrow comes the BeoSound 5 software update !

    linder:

    Tried several albums (all beeing ripped from CD's) - Classical (Opera) as well as Rock (Live Concert)
    where uninterrupted "gapless playback" is a "must" !

    Tested allready ripped WMA lossless files (ripped using Windows Mediaplayer and BeoPort as well).
    Unfortunately the new update does not seem to solve the "gapless playback" issue.

    Can anybody check the following issue please:
    (tested with a BV 8-32, so I'm not shure if this limitation is a general one)

    Contrary to BeoPort  where pressing << or >> starts the previous / next album,
    this possibility seemingly does not exit on BSd 5 when remote operated from a Linkroom.

    Anyone who has one care to mark the update out of 10, in terms of solving your issues, misgivings of your BS/BM5?

    Generally speaking, you aren't learning much if your lips are moving.

    Re: Tomorrow comes the BeoSound 5 software update !

    Very thorough testing!  I ran into a problem with a gapless opera that I purchased on iTunes.  On several of the tracks, the system goes into a pause mode.  I am not sure why that is happening.  Is there a pause setting?
