i have had my beomedia 1 now for a few years and to be honest it does what it says on the tin.
it strugles with video taken from my digital camera and high res picks can take a little longer to load than when it first came out and i mad a 1 megapixel camera.
it woudl be nice if they updated the software so you can see album covers while you use your remote to scroll through the songs like beoplayer software does on the PC. (maybe who knows)
the beomedia 1 is brill but i must admit i have 5000+ songs on it and with so many i get lost looking for music so i can see BS5 will be great if you like to see covers but i wont be rushing to buy one as beating the queue with bang and olufsen seems to mean your the test dummy for their software and i wont be doing this again as the beocare attitude is terrible.
enough ranting
beomedia 1 is a good bit of kit, alwasy remember though that is a computer in the end and getting old now.
