Aside from being uncertain whether I like the "sound" of the M50.2 -- it does sound different than using a CD transport as I did previously, there are other problems.
People who write software for things like BluOS controllers don't understand classical music. Apparently there is only one recording of, say, Beethoven's 5th in the catalog, and if you're ripping a Beethoven 5th -- whether conducted by Toscanini, Furtwangler, Peter Eotvos, or any other of the hundreds who have recorded it -- the software will grab the metadata for one by, say, Herbert von Karajan (he recorded it many times, which is another problem).
I just finished ripping a 3-CD set of Martinu symphonies. Aside from the wrong artwork, it put all three in one file, their tracks all mixed up. Then when I open it, it tells me it can't read the data. And I still haven't figured out how to delete a file. There doesn't seem to be any menu selection for that.
