Mine had its last sw update in 2011, so I think it never had an update besides its initial sw. But radiostations do get updates I reckon, at least you can request a radio station to be added to the Beoradio list if you ask the helpdesk.

Thank you for your helpful response - would you recommend the Encore as a way of me playing my CD collection (currently loaded onto a  hard-drive)?

I think it is an extremely bad idea from what I have heard.  The reason being the BS5 is running a very old version of windows and it is incredibly insecure with lots of security issues that can easily exploited to get on your network and god knows what. Perhaps try getting a Beosound 2 or BS9000 for your CD’s.

@Severed hand of skywalker: we’re speaking of Beosound 5 Encore here, a device where Windows has never been… On my side, I sold mine because I was moving home were it didn’t had a place to be manipulated from the couch anymore, and because it’s not compatible with streaming services, but I think that it’s still a great way to browse digital music « physically » with the big wheel and MOTS system. If you search something to have a physical interface with your flax library on your NAS, it could still be interesting, but be prepared to clean your library (cover images are limited in size and must be names folder.jpg for instance). On the other side, I’m not sure B&O radio will continue to work on it for a long time, and if you use streaming services or want to mainly control your playback via remote (app is not available for it), it will just be painful.
