DesignTechnica Looks at the StreetFire RBX1600
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 05:29 PM
"The StreetFire RBX1600 home media device takes management of your music collection in a different direction. Instead of focusing on MP3s and video files, the developers at StreetFire Sound Labs have created a product which uses your PC, home network and a broadband connection to help manage your actual collection of CDs stored in up to four Sony MegaStorage CD changers. The RBX1600 is capable of managing up to 1600 audio CDs. It sits quietly in your home entertainment cabinet alongside your Sony MegaStorage CD changers, providing the ability to control your collection with customizable playback capabilities which can be set from any computer on your network."
So from where I'm sitting this seems like fundamentally the wrong appraoch - digital music on physical CDs should become purely digital again...hence the popularity of CD ripping and file sharing. Keeping 1600 CDs in a massive CD changer? A waste of time. :roll:
