Dismiss my message. I thought it said Beolit 12. That's what I get for posting on the iPhone without my glasses.

Beolit 12 is in the stores now. I have had one for 3 weeks. It uses AirPlay for a wireless connection or the 30 pin connector for docking mode.

[quote user="Alex"] [quote user="linder"] [quote user="Stan"] Doesn't work for me . The songs show up, and the bs5 pretends to play them, but no sound comes out of the speakers. My bs5 was showing the update screen when i looked at it his morning so i do have whatever release was just pushed out. Also, it doesnt surprize

Corning has second video and then a third video with an explanation of the technologies. Very cool videos about the not too distant future. iPad3 anyone? http://youtu.be/jZkHpNnXLB0 Corning technology explantion http://youtu.be/X-GXO_urMow

[quote user="TripEnglish"] I expected it, but I hadn't heard any advance warning that it was about to drop. My next question is naturally - Why can you now rip in WMA & MP3-320, but NOT ALAC? Seems like that would have been a natural choice. I'm sure it's coming soon, but it would have been nice to have it at launch. [/quote

AT LAST! The Beosound 5 is now going to be my full time music player. Most of my music is in the Apple Lossless format ripped over the last 3 years. This will free space on my iMac.

Good point symmes. Ridiculous here means essentially outstanding or it is so good there is nothing better. Dude. It's awesome!
