The B7 we bought some years ago was spectacular- till it died and wasn't repairable. The B3 we replaced it with recently was also spectacular- but despite days of trial it could not be made to work. E... See more

Getting a part for an older jb7

Hello Steve
Thanks for the five stars. I'm not sure how you measure the age of JB7s - I mean is it like dog years? They are all at least ten years and some are getting on for twenty - which is very satisfying to me.

Hello Ian
Thanks for the five stars. Glad you found the B3+ easy to setup. You did well to buy the B3+ now the price of hard disks is driving the price up. Every batch we buy costs more than the last - its the AI boom causing component shortages.

Quick communication and correct advice

Hello Paul
Thanks for the five stars - glad we could help. We sold a lot of B2 SD cards recently but there are tens of thousands of B2s out there. They hold up their value too - I just had a look on Ebay - I think the price of a second hand B2 is going up.

I've had a Brennan for well over ten years and it's fantastic. When I had a recent query, I got a very quick reply that solved my problem and enables me to carry on enjoying all my music from one device.

Hello Ian
Thanks for the five stars. Glad your B2 is back in business. I take a lot of pride in product lifetime and right to repair. I'd rather keep an old brennan going than sell a new one.

Hello Walid
Sorry to hear that you are not happy with the app and webUI.
I don't know if there is a networking issue behind this or if you dislike the way they operate so I'd be grateful if you could tell me more.
In particular let me know what device you are using - mobile phone, laptop, tablet etc.
Also which of the four web UI variants you have tried.
In fact I am currently considering a refresh of the web UI - it is almost a decade old - which should tell you that it is stable and generally enjoyed by owners. But it may look dated by comparison with modern web designs.
Let me know what you disliked about the web UI. Was it too complicated? Or did it not do something? Or was it too unlike other apps?
I'll email you directly but I'll be keen to hear your views

Got my music back.
Having access to most of my music is great, only thing is trying to find the rest of my cd’s that are buried.

The product is great but I’ve found the app doesn’t work well at all. Keeps losing tracks even after I’ve refreshed it

Hello Malcolm
Glad you like your B3+. If you could email me at thebrennanb2@gmail.com with a more detailed description of the problem you have with the app then I will try and help. Ideally if you describe in steps what you do and what you see - I should be able to reproduce what you are doing.
We do find that the web UI is more stable if Wifi is poor but I'd be very interested to learn more

Excellent service
Excellent service & we purchased the Brennan B3 after my husband had done some research he decided this is what we needed to store our vast music collection and enjoy listening with our new Sonos speakers. Brilliant invention!

Hello Meg
Thank you for the five stars - glad the B3 is living up to your hopes. Given that you have a "vast" music collection make sure you backup as you go and then make a fresh backup when everything is loaded.

Thanks for the five stars - glad you are enjoying the B3 after the B2. Do you use both or did you sell the B2? - I just looked on ebay and second hand B2s are fetching £400+
