BS5 uses the song artists. As you say, extremely useless to navigate. In general, navigation on BS5 is a real pain. Incredible how bad they made it. You can scroll through covers. But the icons are so small that the only way to make something of it, is to remember from the time you used the CDs. They should have shown a bigger picture of the cover under

On the maintenance menu, select "Network Info" (third choice from bottom up). The third item is "IP Address". To exit from maintenance menu, select "Mode" (first choice), then select "N.Music" or "N.Radio".

The BM5 comes with anti-virus software installed on it. It is guaranteed to be updated automatically during at least 5 years, under the condition that the device remains connected to Internet.

There are 3 cables: one powerlink (looks like proprietary), one video (one connector is some form of DVI) and one USB (standard). Length of cables that I received was around 5 meters.

I plan to buy a BeoSound 5 with BeoMaster 5. The BM5 will go hidden in a closed cabinet. The dimensions of the BM5 are indicated to be 38x28x10 cm (WxDxH).
