I'm not going to garuntee this, because the coffee hasn't really kicked in yet...but if I select an album in 'Album Mode' it appears to repeat just fine.  Barring further experimentation, I will say that 'repeat' seems to be the default mode in this instance.

So, Russ, get a 2nd coffee and then try again to proove it

btw: Nice german car on your avatar picture

TWG,

pretty certain, based on the way ours was acting at the store today that it is indeed repeating in Album Mode.  If you like that photo, wait for the one taken at the US BeoSound 5 intro party!  Coming soon.

Ok, so the only "problem" seem to exist when you directly select a track because Beosound 5 automaticaly switches into MOTS mode.

Yep, the photo is nice, but someone is standing in the front of that beautiful car

 

Hello,

I have to pick it up again:

When I select an album the Beosound 5 stops after the last track. Is there any opportunity to switch REPEAT on or off? When I play one specific track  from an album MOTS starts and works.

And some times my Beosound 5 doesn't wake up when I touch the wheel or controller in standby: Is this normal?

Hi, as I understand MOTS is always engaged so when the last song in a playlist or album is played MOTS will take over - thats how it works for me!

If you play an album just transferred to BM5 then MOTS will not function until BM5 has analysed the music.

For the other question, when BM5 is in sleep, then waking up could take 20 seconds

Regards

It doesn't work for me: If I select and play a complete album it plays till the last track and then stops. The BS 5 just shows the Cover art and title of the last track as if it is still playing ... There's the "MOTS"-button on my Beo 5 but the BS 5 gives no feedback if the feature is on or off :-( Any hints, tips?

What's wrong with my Beosound 5:

How do I activate MOTS or "Repeat Album" etc.?

It would be much easier if there's ANY feedback on the BS 5 to show what's going on.

When I select an album and hit "go" it plays the album till the end and then stops. No Repeat, No Mots and I can't understand why.

I rebooted several times but it didn't help. Am I doing s.th. wrong?
 

I don't think you have done anything wrong exept if you hacked the BM5 in any way!? How did you rip CD's and put them on BM5 and in what directory on BM5?

When I select an album it plays the album and then continues for I think 8 hours without any interaction from me and then goes to standby.

Have your tried different albums?

TWG,

To try and make me understand, please describe the steps you are normally taking to get the BS5 to play only 1 album without repeating.

Is this in "title", "artist", "album", "cover" etc..

Do you expand the menu say:- "album" mode, press "<" to expand to album detail?

Do you start to play a track mid-album or on a marked track (blue vertical line on the start of an album) etc...

Try to describe your key-strokes so I can go back and see what you are doing.

 

Also, what happens when you are in "queue" mode. Do you have a list of 70 tracks lined-up there?

What happens when you play a track and push the lever fully up or down (apart from displaying a large abumn cover)?

 

A bit more info will help me to try and understand your problem.

 

cheers

TWG,

Just another thought? Can you send a screen-shot of your BM5 file directory structure (you can do this when your master PC has the BM file-system connected through your network)?

It has occured to me that perhaps it may be possible to park all your music in a directory in the BM5 that could not be read by the MOTs engine but can be read for musical playback. Bit of a slim chance but comparing mine to yours may make diagnosis of you problem easier.

Hi, today I tested it with a demo album with just 1 track. I choosed the album via

- cover: Plays one track and then stops while still displaying the cover and title (no "Pause" or s.th. else)

- album: the same

- artist: the same Queue contains just this "album", nothing more.

When I push the lever up or down nothing happens except displaying the big cover. What SHOULD happen? I noticed that the unit did NOT react to the lever while playing this test album. When I touched the selectionwheel it worked and reacted to the lever and displayed the menu.

 

BUT: After I switched the unit on today (it was disconnected from the mains a few days) I played an album and the queue was full (many many tracks ...). How do I select music? I tested different settings: Choosed an album with the scrollwheel and just press "go", then I choosed the album with the scrollwheel, press "<" and then press"go".

I can't understand what is (or was) different from my choice after the 1st startup!? I think this unit is watching me ... after your replies and the first startup it worked. Then I started testing and it didn't work :-(
Is there any way I tell the unit "repeat my album", "use MOTS" etc.?
There's a button "MOTS" on the Beo 5 after programming but the unit does not give ANY feedback when I press this button! Only to mention: I didn't test the Beo 5 MOTS button today! It was a few days ago. Today I just did the test described above.

What am I doing wrong?

 

- How do I copy music? I connect an external USB-mouse and -harddisk in servicemode and copy the music into the "music" folder on the Beomaster 5. I have copied about 20 albums just for testing and "learning" to use the BS 5. I'm glad I didn't copy 200 albums because I have many doulbe entries etc. - which seems to be based on bad mp3 tags. I'm some kind of frustrated with the unit at this point :-(
