With touch-sensitive front-panel controls and concealed front-panel USB jack and memory-card slots, the DMC 1000 will even let you transfer your music for use in portable players and media card-equipped cars and cell phones. Substantially smaller but vastly smarter and better-looking than your average CD storage rack, the DMC 1000 will digitize, catalogue and store as many as 60,000 songs as you play them, allowing you to banish all those ageing jewel cases to the attic.

It will also let you distribute separate audio streams from your music library to two, three or four locations in your home. And your iPod? Full audio/video playback and charging with The Bridge universal dock (sold separately).

Just take a look at the list of features the DMC 1000 has to offer
