Olive Musica
It looks like a cd player but it works like a super charged iPod. Do you want to listen to a cd? Just slide one in the tray and listen. Do you want to listen to one of the 1000’s of songs stored on the internal hard drive? It can do that, too -- because the Olive Musica is also a computer. Once you hook it up to your home network it can access any file on that network. So it can play any song you have stored on your PC or Mac and stream music back to your computer as well. And if that network's connected to the Internet, the Musica can access and play Internet radio stations.
The Olive Musica’s 160 GB hard drive can store 40,000 MP3 songs. Just slide a CD into the cd drive, push the import button, and the cd is ripped to the hard drive. An integrated CD database automatically recognizes and tags the CD so you can quickly find your music. A familiar looking iPod like display and function buttons allow you to easily search your library to select the music you want to play.
At $1,099 it’s not cheap, but it sure makes storing and playing your music effortless.
