Thanks. That MOTS button mystery is solved. I think, however, a "long push" on the GO button does the same thing with a Beo4.

I guess I'll get to reprogramming the Beo5 for the BS5 it at some point - I think named, direct access to N.Radio favorites might be the compelling feature.

Stan, I finally learned what the MOTS button does. Even tech support at B&O had trouble figuring it out. What it does is base the MOTS on the song that is playing when you touch the button. So let's say you choose an album of 12 songs and you find that you really like the 4th track. When you touch MOTS, it will generate the MOTS playlist based on that track. You will also have direct access to your colored playlists (though you may have that already) and to your "seeds" (or your 99 favorites as they're less whimsically referred to).

Beosound 5 and Beo5?

My Beo5 is programmed for a BeoPort rather than Beosound 5. This allows me to specify N.Music and N.Radio and simple navigation. Is there anything more that can be done via a properly programmed Beo5? I cannot make heads or tails of the manual. It seems to say that there is a MOTS button, but isn't MOTS pretty much always on? Is it worth my while to re-program my Beo5 to remove the BeoPort and add the Beosound (fyi - i program the Beo5 myself, so there's no cost issue, just time)?

Thanks,

Stan
