Internet access for track listings
Your Digital Music Server records the CDs from your
music collection at faster than real time. It then

Whether you select a track by title, album, artist, or
genre, your Digital Music Server locates it instantly and
plays it at the press of a key. All this is achieved with an
extremely simple and intuitive user interface, operated
using a few keys on the front panel or remote control.
