The links above are good suggestions. I note that you also posted here the possibilities regarding " Universal remotes. " From my own personal experience, Logitech rated very poorly, despite the sales spin. ( They do make good keyboards though ).

Many members here are adamant about the benefits of using Airport Express, Itunes, MAC, and Apple. Before you go out and purchase anything more, it might be helpful to know what equipment you have currently in your collection.

I use both MAC and PC for work, but have no experience with Airport Express. I never thought I would ever need, or use an MP3 player, but now I have a Beosound 6 to use while driving, and move music around on other systems with an AUX port. I keep it to like products, and software, as it just works better, and lasts longer. I'm happy to keep it 100 % B&O.

Ultimately though, it is your system, & your choice. Experiment a little.

But is this any better or different then streaming iTunes with Airport Express to the Aux input (my current configuration).

--- Maybe the question should be controlling itunes with a Beo4?

Hello;

To answer your question:

BS3200 -> Masterlink -> PC2 -> ???? (my computer? running Beoplayer??? connected to the internet?)

You are correct.

Also upload, or upgrade the Beoplayer and Beoport versions to the most recent, then reboot. You will be prompted to register, which you need to do.

If you have a Beo 4 or Beo 5 remote, you can program it to N.RADIO, and N.MUSIC too, in addition to CD, PHOTO, VIDEO, RADIO, etc. to pull it up immediately, versus clicking the mouse.

Once you have done this, you can pull up N.RADIO or N.MUSIC and enjoy it anywhere via the masterlink system and your B&O remote.

Good Luck !

Yes, Beolink PC2 must be connected to a PC or Mac, running Beoport (PC) or BM.Link (Mac). You will need internet connection too if you want to hear N.Radio.

Sorry, I don't know Mac, but I bet you can connect it and use iTunes. There is a Mac section in this forum, you will find help there.

Yes, Beolink PC2 is the old name for the Beoport. You have to install it and masterlink it to the main system.

You need Beoport, Beomedia 1 or Beomaster 5 to use N.Radio.

My BS3200 has the N.Radio option - but how does it work/how can I connect it to my cable modem/tv (I have TimeWarner cable - US - plugged into my TV right next to the BS3200).
