Go for the BS1-even if, and it's a big if, FM is switched off, it's unlikely that it will be before 2020. Someone will probably come up with a DAB to FM converter allowing you to to tune to FM frequencies on the BS1 with DAB being rebroadcast from the converter. I had the Bose, and the BS1 is far superior. Other option-rip your cds and copy

Thanks for all the help guys, particularly Stan-I've got it to work! It appears that the playlist isn't updated when holding down the arrow keys unless the headphones are connected. It's now a lot easier to fill my SD cards so I'm much happier dragging and dropping onto the card, especially as I have a built-in card reader on my MacBook

Hi John and Stan, thanks for the replies. i'm not using any unusual characters or spaces. The drag and drop puts music on the card but it doesn't show up in iTunes or play back on the BS2. I suspect that there is a particular way of dragging and dropping requiring the tracks or albums to be created at a particular level on the card, or perhaps

Hi thanks for the info guys. I've checked with the firmware checker on XP and it is the newest firmware now. I have copied a whole folder onto the sd card so that it appears in the root level as album/tracks, but when i try to play the album the BS2 ignores it. When I hold down the 2 down arrow keys for 2 seconds I don't get audible feedback

Solved! The BS2 wouldn't upgrade the firmware to the newest version 1.1.0 12 because of a problem with the sd card. Apparently it needs to be able to write to it to enable the upgrade. Bought a new card and now working. One other problem now is that if I copy directly from my MacBook Pro to the sd card (it has a card reader/writer built in) BS2

Hi Piet, thanks for your reply. It said upgrading firmware and then activating new firmware or something like that, still won't read 2GB cards so I suspect it hasn't upgraded the firmware to the newest one as it should read these cards. I don't think the update changes the firmware to 2.51, something like 1 xxx. Could you check your firmware

Following my previous post, can anyone tell me what the latest PC firmware version for Beosound 2 is? I currently have 1.0.2 Many thanks, Steve

Hi i have a BS2 firmware 1.0.2. I keep trying to update via the 2.5.1 update, but although it say it's been updated the docking station remains red, i.e. doesn't change to orange as it should do during firmware update. After installation the firmware remains at 1.0.2. I'm wondering if I need to use an earlier upgrade, e.g. 2.00 if this is

I have a Harman|Kardon linear tracking turntable from 1976, connected via preamp to B&O setup. Matches the brushed aluminium perfectly!

Hi, does anyone have an original leather case for the A8 earphones in excellent condition they'd like to sell? (i don't need the the earphones, just the case). If so please let me know. Thanks, Steve.
