Sorry guys but that's all I see when a BS3 is infront of me. You can blame my Italian side of the family for that.

If you want to use the SD cards you use for the other player, then you cannot use them. But you could try to reorganize those, so that you can play them on both systems?

I think the BS3 plays the songs in the order you put them on the card, but I am not very sure about that, sometimes it thinks to me that this is not the case... Anybody else?

Hi Tom

so I bought a new card today and now it plays :)

Unfortunately I can not use my other cards with the BS3 :(

By the way, do you know in which order the BS3 plays the songs, there seems to be a difference to the rest of the world....

hi marcus! congrats to your BS3!

The data rate does not matter, it is just a matter of taste/hearing. Yes, you have to reorganize your music. The way you have organized yours right now is artist.album.song, so the song is ih the second folder. You have to store each album sperately on the SD card to make the BS3 play it.

Enjoy you BS3!

Guys, I really need some help....

picked up my brand new Beosound3 today - really a stunning piece of kit!

I fiddled arround some time with the radio function and what sould I say, sound is great, the reception performance (is this the right word?) is very good. Then I came to the A.MEM function and inserted one of my SD Cards I use for the car and other kit, but the BS3 won't play :o

I the read the manual carefully and found a sentence saying, that the BS3 could only play music that in the first folder, not in the rrot and not deeper ?!?! All my music is organized like this: /artist/album.

Is this true so do I have to reorganize all my music? What about the datarates, found nothing on this topic. Will it play 192kbps?

Many thanks

Marcus

so do you mean you recommend beosound 3 for radio function?

Yes, assuming "radio" means FM (not AM or DAB). It is the best tuning radio that I own, followed by my BS1 (this used to be better before I had it serviced because it could not read a CD I owned - it is an early model), followed by my BS9000 (I'm going to blame the antenna position), followed by my crappy clock radio.

well, from my feeling, I feel that the sound quality of radio on beosound 3 is poorer than the on-line radio of the same channel. Beosound 3 gives a little bit more noise, and a little bit sound distortion.
Is it related to the limitation of radio signal transfer???
Do you have any ideas on this?

This is definitely not my experience. My BS3 can clearly tune stations my BS1 and BS9000 cannot. In fact, there are times of the year when my BS1 (or any other radio I own) cannot tune one of my favorite stations. Last time this happened, I brought in the BS3 placed it in front of the BS1 and it could grab the station clearly.

Peter:
Not to include either AM or DAB means that it useless to me. I cannot listen to cricket which is the major reason for a portable radio for me. Huge shame!

Peter, I wholly agree with you regarding the lack of AM. What is your understanding of why they would leave it out on the BS3 and BS4 (and any other product)? I listen to AM radio here in the states all the time and have to turn to my Proton 320 Clock Radio in the bedroom or listen in the car now. It couldn't possibly cost very much to add something as mundane as an AM Tuner.

I really think there is a disconnect between the public and the designers. Look, i know you will never make everyone happy but they should take advantage of the people here and enlist our services (for free) for feedback and comments on upcoming products. I'm sure it would reduce the amount of complaints and issues tremendously. I mean, it doesn't take a genius to realize AM radio still plays a big part of people's lives.
