Chris Townsend:How on earth do I transfer iTunes music from a MacBook Pro to its SD card?
Hi Chris,
Since you draw my attention to that little thing up to the point of looking for one on the second hand market, I'm happy to try to help a little bit:
The manual says there's two modes: Beoplayer Mode and iTunes mode. You select the mode with a combination of keys I can't check now because it's late. I expect the player in iTunes mode to show up in iTunes like any iPod but I've also heard about that iTunes plug-in Lawrence mentioned, but not in the manual. Alternatively, copying files directly to the SDcard might work as it does with a Beosound 3, once you get all the funky limitations checked (root folder, bitrate, naming, etc…)
Chris, you also need to format the SD card using the tool in the link below, otherwise it won’t work. Used to love my old BS2, great little thing and don’t really know why I ever sold it to be honest. Retro B&O is the best! Enjoy! Simon.
