Olive Musica
I’ve been closely watching home media appliances, and a new one has hit the market. Musica by Olive is essentially a standalone audio jukebox with a CD-R drive and an internal hard drive. You store all your audio right on the device and never have to handle a CD again. It can also stream audio from the Internet or any UPnP AV device in the house. You can do the same thing with an off-the-shelf PC and some free software, but you can’t beat the size, looks, and ready-to-go aspects of this box. At $1099, it’s not cheap, but some people will find the price worth it.
