is there any reason a firmware update to S1.73 would change the sound?
Or is that my imagination?

Probably your imagination, but we did introduce the ability for end users to change between versions of MPD from the settings page under the MPD settings tab.  The different versions where aren't compiled with all the same decoders so, although unlikely could explain what you hearing..... or it's your imagination.

Cheers,
Chris


My money is on imagination ;)

This can be done from your browsers text size settings, what are you using?

A wired connection should be the most reliable, other wise it shouldn't matter

I have been using two Netgear R6300 routers without any issues as a means to connect my BDP-2 to my Mac Mini.  One router is connected to the cable modem while the other operates in bridge mode.  The transfer is about 1 GB / min so while it is not the fastest connection it is very reliable.

Best,
John

Hi there.  I just recently bought a BDP-2 /BDA-2 combo and am loving it so far....it's amazing how much 'fun' music listening can become when you marry high tech to audio.

Two quick questions about the BDP-2:

1- When my external HD is loading my manual says it should say "Updating".  All I get is a capital "U".  Obviously not the end of the world but just wondered if this is a known issue?

2- The only way to get the BDP-2 to find and starting loading the external HD is if I turn the HD on before the player- if I turn on the player and then the HD it doesn't load.  Is this normal?

Thanks for the time...hopefully these questions aren't too 'newb-ish'.  :)

I recently purchased a BDP-2 and I also notice the capital "U" when the unit is updating.  I use an internal HD so I can not answer your second question.

HI

Yes the newest software just shows a "U".

The BDP-2 'remembers' the drive when you turn it off - after that the drive will be there on start up.

Thanks gents!

James- Are there any plans to add a skip forward/backward within the same song functionality (sort of a rewind/fast forward button) within the playback software?

Talking about issues, please register also this minor one:
I have usb drive that I synchronize periodically with windows 8 pc. Windows 8 will create 2 hidden folders (recycle bin and system volume information).
 First time after synchronization and after update from bdp the hidden folders are not visible on Max or Mpdroid interface, however after shutting down this hidden folders becomes visible.

Hi

I know you can do that in MPAD by just moving the cursor at the bottom left on the interface.

I just purchased the BDP/BDA combo, hopefully I will get them soon.
I plan on controlling my music list with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.
Can you point me in the right direction for set up?

Thanks for the help..pretty cool that you come on here to help people out.

Regarding the BDP-2 'remembering' my drive I am having some problems with that.  I am sure the problem will end up being something I am doing wrong. 

I shut the BDP-2 and external drive down last night....turned on the BDP this afternoon and then the external but nothng loaded. The display did make a notation about the drive ID but I couldn't get things to load until I turned everything off again, started up my external and then the BDP (had to be in that order).  Am I doing something wrong to get it to 'remember' the drive?

Hi

What kind of external is it and are you hitting UPDATE the cache on the interface - what interface are you using?
