You paid for that upgrade. For the ATV, it is for them mostly a vehicle to sell on itunes, same for the Roku box where they added additional content provider.

I was responding to the eroneous statement that ".....a product after release doesn't incur upgrades other than bug fixes".

What you say is of course correct, but that doesn't support the quoted statement.

I think we would find a decent size user based willing to pay for a beoport mac solution or a beomedia 1 upgrade, they could allocate resources to that.

And since missing coverart is clearly a new, valuable function, I think B&O might have to rethink their business model.

I heard never ever somebody complaining about paying for functional computer software upgrades.

Trying to refrain commenting on the tablet. I think in these days one has to learn that a product after release doesn't incur match upgrades other then bug fixes.

Can't fully agree. My iPod Touch which I use exclusively in the home to access music on my ATV, has received many updates, as has the ATV. Yes this been to fix some bugs on each, but many have expanded the functionality and facilities beyond those available when I purchased them.

Hi All

I cant help myself and liken this issue to BEOPORT and the issues MAC users have had with no software updates rendering the product next to useless!!!!

B&O promised an update but six months have gone by with no news,,,

Exception is if the vendor can make more money. I.e. ATV and Roku box received improvements to support more sales but looking at normal Ipods, not much happened through upgrades.

You get what you see, this is why I am holding off the BS5 until it's there. Gapless playing. Apple Lossless support. MOTs within a category. 2 way remote. Amen.

wait for apple's itablet / ipad , hat will wipe the floor with any of the bno toys

Honey have you popped the popcorn? Quick, I'm starting the movie I paid $19.99 for on the iTunes music store on this 10.2" screen I'm holding on my lap! What do you mean you're leaving me!?

No, the iTablet will be a big phone to read magazines on. I think I'll still enjoy my BV4, BL5s, and BS5.

Oh, you should have seen the mailings between me and B&O regarding BL5 sync using third party players.... Hideous to say the least.... In the case of the BL5 thay actually falsely marketed the specs of the early BL5's IMHO.

But this is a company not known for customer service coming from the head, but rather from dealers.

Jeez, guys. Having had Beomdeia for about 2 years, I really don't see all the sweat about alblum covers.

The music is there, just the same. Or would you all rather just bpush the MUTE button and watch on you BV9s?

The rest of the functionality is closer rather than different between the two. I just want better video support for my home videos (beyond MPEGs)

Chill and enjoy your Beomedia. I know I am!

I join the queue of all of you who want the album cover in Beomedia 1. That would complete the product.

It would not be too much to ask to get that final update on a product that costs so much.

Please Beocare - Listen to us......

mbee:

Nobody ever tried to install the beomaster 5 software on a Beomedia 1?? It's not a very heavy (I mean for computing power) software, and you already have the drivers for the graphic card and audio output... So it should be interresting to try that. Harder part : getting the software!

Nice solution but impossible.

@ mr_anders_son

How shall we do it? Mass email??

Theres only one option: We all who have BM1 contact Beocare and ask for update that you can use albumcover

No big issue for them
