Re: Hard drives system

B&O were the first company to do this in fact, back in the 80s, and have been doing it ever since. I would recommend you go to a B&O dealer to get a grip of what it does, although it's difficult to get an idea of how well it works in a B&O store, and even more difficult to explain through BeoWorld...

As far as 'hard drive' storage of music goes, B&O offer a few solutions. The BeoSound 3200 is the most obvious, although this is a very simplified system (for the better or worse depending on how you look at it). IMO, the most up-to-date way of doing it is with the BeoPort, which will connect to BeoPort software on a PC or iTunes on a Mac and allow you to distribute the music from your computer around your B&O multi-room system...

Firstly welcome to Beoworld, What B&O sytem do you currently have? As several B&O systems were able to support a Beolink (multi room) setup. If you want the convienience of having all your music on a Hard Drive then the easiest way is to just run a lead from the soundcard of your PC.

I love the B& O sound but pennies meant I was looking at the Phillps system with the hard drive you can have it follow you around I then read some of the reveiws will not be buying the Phillps. Can I use a B&O system to do the same thing? I do have a B&O system but it old and too big. Sorry to say cost is a factor as is the sound tried a cheepe O dear any thoughts David.
